  1. Hi Sean, I can only comment from my own experience but what I find is that around town (London) I don't use the eco mode as I find the car is slow to pick up - when you might need power at roundabouts or pulling out etc. I use the eco mode when I know the traffic is moving at a decent pace and on dual carriageways, motorways etc. I never actually select the EV mode as the distance it can go for in electric is so short {literally yards!) so I just leave this for the car to decide. Hope this helps and enjoy your new car Neal
  2. It is the button to the left of the interior mirror next to the interior light. If you press the button after you are swiched off a message will appear on the small screen on the dash saying sensor off. - Just been on a ferry myself!
  3. I had an outdoor cover a few years back for a Citroen I owned made by a company called 'Stormforce' - I found this to be a good cover which allowed the car to breath but keeping it dry - as I remember they made several different versions - not cheap (£160+ at the time) but certainly did the job. |The only downside I found was handling such a large cover! and finding somewhere to store it if you remove it wet. Hope this helps
  4. Hello James, So long as they have been serviced properly and have the service record I don't think there are any flaws or any worries to look out for. With that I would recommend buying from a Lexus main dealer even if the prices are higher than others. I can only comment from my own experience - from the years you are thinking about 2016 - 18 the main differences will be the later year (2018) will be the facelift version with revised front grille, tailgate, lights and trim, dashboard switches and larger info screen as standard plus other bits and bobs. I think it will depend on what you prefer looks wise. The prices seem to be quite high still at the moment - I bought mine a year ago from a main dealer (2018 car) and the prices now for the same spec / year car are substantially higher that what I paid. Perhaps with the new model out now the prices will gradually recede on the earlier cars - although having been in the new one I was dissapointed and personally didn't find it as nice as the original. Good luck in your search
  5. Who remembers the Dunlop Denovo Runflat tyres?!! - Had a Mini in the 70's fitted with these and they seemed a fortune to replace then - over £50!!
  6. Thanks both for your rapid replies - that makes sense thanks very much. Now just have to decide on the Michelins or the Bridgestones!!
  7. Hi, I have been following this thread with interest - I am now due to change my tyres and have been considering the Michelin CC's or perhaps Bridgestone weather control. Would you know if the Michelins are classed as 'runflat'? - the reason I ask is that after reading the FAO section on the fitters website is states that cars fitted with TPMS must use 'runflat' type tyres? - anyone any info on this - thanks Neal
  8. Hi all, I had my NX300h serviced and mot'd today at a Lexus dealership. They reported that the 'oil drain cover' is missing and pointed this out on the little video they sent me. It appears to be a removeable cover in the undertray to access the oil drain plug. They recommended having a new one fitted but are quoting £340! Would anyone know if this would be for just what's a piece of moulded plastic or the whole undertray? Also is there any reason I can just leave ias it is - I have only had the car a year and done 2000 miles so I am sure it was missing when I bought it. Thanks for any info Neal
  9. (On a related subject, has anyone played with the settings to change the point where the satnav changes from day to night mode (and vice versa)?) This was going to be my next question! - is it controlled by the lighting setting? This is also very annoying on my NX as it flashes back and forth on occasions during daylight.
  10. It does seem very sensitive. Just going under the shade of trees seem to trigger it. Mine will now be on min also.
  11. Thanks very much for the rapid reply - much appreciated
  12. Hi all, I have been trying to find how to adjust the sensitivity of when the headlights switch on automatically - not the high beams, just normal on and off when it's dark enough. I am finding the lights are switching on in any dim situation and cars in front think I am flashing them! I have looked through the menus but no luck - any pointers much appreciated. thanks Neal
  13. Thanks for the black cleaner suggestions - I'll give these a go
  14. Hi Marlinleg, Thanks for the tip I'll remember this next time I polish!
