  1. To some, yes. The inclusion of PPF can increase the costs of any repairs.
  2. https://mag.lexus.co.uk/lexus-uk-statement-on-vehicle-theft/
  3. Mine shows the service tech taking my car to the workshop and the MoT station down the road.
  4. Were the lights not on anyway, evening low light?
  5. On some models the heating degree can be adjusted +2 to -2, maybe it's been turned down?
  6. If the suspension geometry is being reset to factory values then why would the ADAS system need recalibrating?
  7. It really doesn't take much to find the new rates, this from Whatcar..
  8. Have you tried this company? https://dogguardsrus.co.uk/custom-made-dog-guard-for-lexus-rx-2008-to-2015/
  9. Check your V5 for CO2 emissions and look it up here.. https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables/rates-for-cars-registered-on-or-after-1-march-2001
  10. I don't think any of the boot/bonnet/tailgate seals are tight enough to not allow the thin cable form the charger to pass through when fully closed. The seals are quite compliant. I trickle charge my AMG via the closed boot without issue.
  11. I think you will find many 'luxury' marques have this 'issue'. Mercedes for example supply trickle chargers with their top-end sports cars simply because they know the cars will be driven less frequently. The fact that not all NX owners suffer this problem leads one to believe it must be a usage or car specific issue, for example, perhaps poorly fitted extras causing a parasitic drain?
  12. Higher tyre pressures are required for prolonged (>1hour) high speeds because of the degree of tyre deflection as it rotates and this causes heat and tyre instability. If one measures the wheel/tyre radius on the loaded side (between the axle and the road) and the unloaded side (between the axle and the top of the tyre) there is a significant difference. As the tyre rotates it has to deform/deflect numerous times per mile. This deflection has to be controlled and this is done by increasing the internal pressure to help equalise these to measurements.
  13. Because insurers have no stats on the LBX, so still bit of an unknown regarding repairs costing etc.. The actual power of the vehicle has relatively little impact on insurance, my 470bhp CLS was cheaper to insure than my 170bhp C class (both cars same age)
