Hi Steve - yes they help a great deal. Certainly help me contemplate leaving Car when I can leave home again

As I stated earlier I am a complete duffer mechanical / diy wise and being under my car I see exactly that with the TPF (or GPF) only accessible at one end with the other end mostly inside below the engine.

I was LED to believe that there were 2 "Cats" and this drawing seems to disprove that.

I know you were reprimanded in your op for using the word "petrified" but I can relate to that. My NX is 16 days old and I was worried too so (I bet I will get flack for this but I dont care) I am going to have stickers made stating "CAT inaccessible / Vehicle fitted with Tilt Alarm" and fit them inside each rear Door window. Just need to hope the low lifes can read

Thanks again for all the help

Hi Steve - that would be great !

Does anyone have a photo or drawing of the Exhaust system please to show what is and what is not on view ?

I am a complete duffer carwise and having looked under the Car still have no idea what is what

Many thanks

Herbie, thanks for your suggestion, I didn't know you could do that and £3.14 later (1 hour access), I can confirm that the NX has two Three Way Catalytic Converters, one in the engine compartment (the main one) and the other a much smaller one (it seems) on the very front of the angled front section of the exhaust system, and I suspect not easy to access at all as it's just below the engine compartment.  The box that is visible under the car is not a cat, it's the main exhaust muffler. Useful exercise and I feel much better now 😉 Thank you very much for the suggestion. 👍

Hi all - my first post as

a) I am due to take del'y of my first Lexus soon and

b) already looking at how vulnerable the Car will be per the stealing of its CAT(s)

I asked the Dealer at the time of buying what the position was re defenders for the CAT and they said something akin to "we have nothing at the moment" and they did not ever say anything as helpful as your research above is suggesting.

My mind is much more settled if your research is correct and I have no need to doubt it of course.

Wonder if there is a Catloc for NX coming along or iyo does it actually need one ?

Many thanks Bamboozled
