    Its already off I had an issue 6 months into ownership where the battery would discharge every 3 days despite being driven daily. I turned it off an its been fine since. So the battery today when AA man came was at 6V. With car locked and key away it was using 0.5V so no parasitic drain as such. Car was charging the battery at 16V when it turned on but this went down to 9.5V. Ive taken it out for a 20 mile journey to see what happens. Which battery charger have you got? Im thinking either a jump starter pack or a trickle charger

    So the 12v battery on the UX300e is tiny. I went on holiday for 12 days thinking it should be fine - obviously was discharged on my return. It was started by AA and I took it for a 15 min drive thinking that would be enough to sort it out - unfortunately wasnt and 1 day later it discharged itself. 2 questions really - what is the best solution for this? a trickle charger and any recommendations (ive never used one so don't even know where to start and how to set it up) or something else?

    Can't be done. I do think it's a better solution though than in some German cars where you need to turn it off for small movements or parking. Think Mercedes takes it though for the function of theirs which is activated by pressing the brake down harder than normal.

    The key syncing definitely works when held up to the power button - didnt know that was a thing but glad its sorted. Will register my face at some point! Many thanks!

    I have the same issue. Do you mean the key when you say remote? Didn't realise you had to hold the key near the start button

    I would appeal on their website stating that the letter was received after 15 days to no fault of your own (Christmas holidays, postal backlog etc etc). They should reduce it to the lower amount. At that point just pay it. Parking eye have and will take people to court, sometimes it also ends up on your credit report if not paid and they issue proceedings.

    Doesn't matter what brand is fitted as long as it's the same size and load rating / run flat. Can get these at most tyre shops

    My mate has a Ferrari F8 from new. No issues with it so far but minimal mileage and it does spend most of its time in the garage / trickle charger with regular detailing. Bit of a pain to drive apparently as scrapes bumps if not taken side on and roads are too narrow for it most of the time.

    Don't think it'd matter how close you park to the wall with the new NX. It's got encrypted canbus anyway so they won't use the canbus method

    Not had an issue with it so far. Tbh I can't even tell when it's changed gears so is quite similar to a CVT in that respect. However, when accelerating hard to join a motorway for example, you can tell it's a conventional automatic and it makes it much more refined in my opinion as you don't get that surge in revs
  11. rayaans
    Of course

    I mean I drove mine 150 miles from the dealership to home and it did over 35mpg sitting at 75mph. It used less than 10% of the hybrid battery too. Economy seems to be better than my RX450h in town so far and this thing is properly quick in comparison. Rides a lot better than my previous RX as well.

    I turned that one off as well and its not turned back on - kept giving me messages to pay attention also when I was looking away. Only issue I seem to be having is that I cant get connected to the multimedia system - the car has been registered to the Lexus Link+ app and I can see journeys / location of the car, just the multimedia system doesnt seem to register so I can't setup my own profile. Not sure why this is
  14. rayaans
    Not sure - when we bought our UXe in 2021 it came with a full pack. The RX500h hasnt come with anything although its only been a week
  15. rayaans
    It most likely is as all new Lexus models will be. Will have to wait until UK launch go confirm though
  16. rayaans
    Its not an issue on the new ones. They have encrypted canbus

    Sport mode will sharpen the throttle response and the steering wheel . Sport S+ if you have it will stiffen the suspension as well as the above.
  18. rayaans
    Yep thats going to be a tough one to sort out because there's no way to prove either way. If you do more than 15K miles in a year it doesnt matter though because you'd need to service it before the date regardless. You could try fighting against Lexus UK and the dealership, alternatively present your car earlier for servicing / just take the risk for a few thousand km

    Engine turning off is normal NEVER put it in neutral unless pushing it - stops the hybrid battery from charging up. Leave it in Drive or Park. You can cause the engine to turn on more urgently by putting into sport mode
  20. rayaans
    All very odd and likely a typo on the service receipt. Bit difficult to get that disproved. Also probably doesnt matter much in the grand scheme of things although I would probably push it anyway and see what happens
  21. rayaans
    I think it'd help a lot more if it was clear what the discrepancy was. How many miles are on the vehicle right now? How many miles were on it when serviced? Do you feel the discrepancy is with the mileage at the service or the mileage at the hybrid healthcheck?
  22. rayaans
    Which years are you looking at? I believe all of the hybrid RXs are E-Four and E-CVT bar the RX500h which is direct 4 and 6 speed auto
  23. rayaans
    Its not exactly "an issue" and is a well known thing. There are part shortages leading to the lack of supplying a second key (which I believe are now coming through). Additionally Lexus UK did not supply wheel locking bolts and have taken responsibility if any thefts occur. Again, customers have started getting the locking bolts through. Just email Lexus UK and they should be able to give you an answer or book you in for these items.

    Would you be able to post a picture of the wheel In general any wheel provided it isnt very dangerously cracked or has chunks missing can be refurbed - it might not match the other wheels though and typically you can choose to get 2 done on one side, or all 4 refurbed depending on how particular you are

    Honestly speaking the updates were subtle. I doubt you'd really notice / care unless you were really looking for them.
