I did look at Flexplus and being over 70 would have to pay extra for Travel insurance, Breakdown cover is on a car by car basis so joint account can have one car each which again no good to us as we also have a Campervan. Lexus cover is on the people named who can own as many vehicles (Cars, Motorhomes, motorbikes or scooters) or be driving a vehicle not owned by them and you are still covered and it is on the back of AA cover. Will stick with Lexus cover used them twice on previous campervan and the AA were great. Negative you do not get the AA tracking app.

I must admit that when I bought my Luxury model it did come with loads of extras as it was the Service Managers car so came with Sat Nav, Mats, sensors front and rear, quite a few other goodies. Reason for asking have just fitted camera and parking sensors to the back and front of my Renault Master Wildax campervan. David

Having just fitted a front camera to my Motorhome (Cannot see the front from the Drivers seat) and having read a previous note on here on a standard fit front camera got me wondering not if it would be possible to fit one on my 2016 Luxury model but if i did could the screen be used? Has anybody done this like the previous contributor I also only have inches to spare with the mirror in to do a sharp righthand swing into my garage. Thanks folks David

B***er still no letter from Lexus Sidcup ☹️

So just me then, looking forward to June 1st when they reopen as I am certain that they will look to get rid in a straight swop for mine.😈🤩 Do you think they will deliver its a long way from Zummerzet?

The last part of this may help https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=lexus+nx+tailgate+reset&qpvt=lexus+nx+tailgate+reset&view=detail&mid=073E87A4DE8C0C0B162A073E87A4DE8C0C0B162A&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dlexus%2Bnx%2Btailgate%2Breset%26qpvt%3Dlexus%2Bnx%2Btailgate%2Breset%26FORM%3DVDRE David

Sorry folks but would love it, but I am guessing they would not do a swop for my 66 Luxury ex demo.

😄👍

Thanks for that Steve so can you just confirm this one will auto start on timer if we are ever allowed to spend an extended period away from home with the Lexus sitting in the garage.

Roger Many thanks for your comments, the reason I do not want to go down the Ctek route as I already have a similar one, but does not operate in a simple way i.e. you have to tell it type of vehicle each time you put 240v to it and my idea was the not leave on 24hr but on a timer for say 2 hours per day. I also have a very old type at least 25 years old which will charge from total flat if required Colin Thanks for the info on the NOCO might well be a better choice.

Hi Herbie thanks for the response I am looking to see if it should be possible, my other thought without going to the expense of the C-Tek was to purchase a simple Maintenance charger like the Maypole 0.5a charger,

Similar question so please excuse me if in wrong We have a Campervan and "did" like to go away for extended periods so did also have the problem of total flat battery that the AA sorted for me. Q. Does it seem sensible to connect a leisure battery 110a to the battery vis jump leads as i have both in the garage to keep the battery fully charged. By the way re driving off with the elecrics connected I use a velco strap and a sign on the steering wheel on my camper as a precaution.

Just for info is there a simple charging point?

When I bought one of my campers (Fiat Ducato) it came only with one key, Used a Automotive Locksmith recommended by the garage in the village where I live, he came to the house and was nearly £150 cheaper than Fiat. Quoted before he came there must be similar self employed where you live who will come to either where you live or work after we escape "Lockdown"

I decided on the Luxury when i bought my NX after a initial test drive. The car was 6 months old with 12,000 miles on the clock but as i am now retired and do around only 5,000 p.a. this was not a problem. It was not however a Lexus Fleet Car but the Service Managers car at Lexus Exeter and came with almost every goody added., which I found after some time looking for a "garage own car" as I knew they do tend to "dress" them to sell others Price was good due to "High Mileage" about £4000 less than others of same age with 5000 on the clock but three years later it has now 26,000 on the clock so well below average. Only thing I would say was a niggle to me was setting the SatNav with that dam wheel instead of the touch pad. Didnt bother with all the add-on's they wanted to sell me except the Service contract which is about to run out and i will renew with Lexus Bristol who have been great.

I also used the centre console connection method for the front screen dash cam and copy and paste my note from 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I fitted one and posted my solution which I paste and copy hope it is of some help Had the car for just over a month and been looking at ways of fitting a Dash Cam but lack of 12v socket (except the one inside the centre console) was always the problem. Looked at all topics on site but all seemed to involve some cutting and I was told by Lexus that the only way to get to the back of the Socket was to take off the whole of the centre console, well they were not being truthful. So been having another go/think again today and when it got darkish using a torch inside the box I noticed a line down each side of the front of the box. So using a thin but stiff plastic spatula about the width of the box I push this under the rim of the top of the box and the whole section popped off allowing access to the back of the socket. I have piggy backed off the back of the socket with fused connection and fitted a multi socket inside the glove box with all the wires out of sight behind the centre console. So weeks of trying to find a solution it turns out to be simple. Hope this is of help to others David Didnt think of going there again was hopeful of a boot connection, sad to say that my old company Ford Mondeos had one and was very useful for rear seat passengers. Will give it some thought about going there again might be a little time as i am fitting one to my Wildax Campervan (Master Based) at present a real pig of a job having to take furniture and panels galore apart. Any more suggestions hopefully and gladly received.

I am going to fit a (for want of a better word) Dash cam in the rear window and wondered if any body else has done the same. Main problem is that the camera is powered by a usb cable and is 5v so will need to use the cables provided. Does anybody know if there is a 12v ignition feed that i could use, one i have thought of would be the lead to the reversing camera but figure that might prove troublesome. David

I did spend a load of time deciding when i changed my 4 tyres last month and in the end as i now do little mileage decided to go the "other" route often mentioned on this forum and chose Avon. ATS did have a "special" at the time that helped Avons being almost £70 per tyre less than the Cross Climates. Very happy with my choice very marked difference with road noise.. in fact so pleased with them have replaced the tyres (needed) on SWMBOs Clio with the same. Doing the low mileage i now do i am guessing that i will be replacing well before they wear out due to age factor.

Yes I would love to know "why" it is definitely not due to the remotes being near the NX. The NX was in a brick garage which is detached from the house by min 6 mts and both keys inside blocking key pouches inside separate steel filing cabinets.

Having just come back from a month away with the NX sitting in the garage big surprise was that the battery was so flat even the door locks would not work. So had to call the AA (Lexus assist) who managed to get into it and then jump started with a high power unit. purpose of this note is he told me that it is quite common for the Hybrid to go flat quite quickly he has one couple not far from me with a car less than two years old that they find goes flat in as little as 2 weeks. Has anybody else had this problem or even better know a way of preventing it happening again as the guy from the AA said it was not a good idea to put any hybrid on a charger even the smart charger that I had as it could cause serious damage to the Electronics

Harry Similar story for me looking to buy. 1st choice was the Volvo had to wait about 30mins for a test drive and then just given the keys and told to drive it to the M32 and back about 5 miles total whilst they work out a price on mine. Did quite like the car but wanted to look at Range Rover Disco Sport. As soon as I told them I was interested in one of the three 6 month old ones they had (New too much for me) they just about ignored me and after about 20 mins just walked out next door Was Lexus Bristol, welcomed with a cuppa and bickie no problem wanted ex demo, took me for a test drive did every type of road and off road took over hour was sold on the car but they didn't have colour I wanted, told me about one in Exeter their own with slightly high mileage and every extra possible on a Luxury, saw it bought it and took our service contract with Bristol Service reception just as good as sales car warmed up for me

Thanks for the replies folks David

I have had a similar problem (haven't we all) with the not so lovely smell from the Air con but on my Lexus it is different. Usually it occurred when you turned on the Air con now it happens when I turn it off and lasts for about 10 minutes most unpleasant, to correct on other cars simple answer was to buy one of those smoke bombs that you put in the car start the engine with aircon on full blast for so long and it comes out bad smell gone. But with the Lexus you cant leave the engine running so would it still work Also should it be covered under my service contract with Lexus

Well its all about image you see, better that they all match it will make a perfect compliment to my current hair style 😃💇‍♂️
