  1. Yes and anyone that thinks it compares to a Captur in any other way than looks, doesn’t know about cars. It’s like comparing a piper with a F35.
  2. Those clips have been broken in shear. Ignore all the drama about canbus theft, it’s been hooked on something.
  3. Car carrier Porgy is coming long way around Africa with a belly full of LBXs, my mates AWD included. Should make Portbury early April.
  4. Call Lexus Customer Relations. Lexus UK should be liaising with Lexus Insurance to make sure they can offer something.
  5. My mate’s is coming up the west coast of Africa having to go round because of the numpties shooting at ships. The car above is gorgeous - love the colours. I’d order one if only they did ventilated seats (my mrs insists).
  6. Depends on the age. Yours might be a tad early. Have you installed Lexus Link +
  7. If you’re going to go off a social media article, make sure you check the others because even if it won’t go the full mileage, it’ll still be going when virtually anything else has been in the recycling heap for 20 years ;-)
  8. It depends on the test conditions. I won’t have an electric due to range anxiety but if my circumstances were different and I could run one I’d expect far less than published unless I could replicate the exact test parameters.
  9. Those thin speakers with the plastic cones are not regular speakers. Somebody gave an explanation of what they are but they are significantly more powerful than a standard speaker of the same size. Beware of placebo too, the mind is a powerful weapon.
  10. Yes it is. I’ve got to be in the right place and in the right mood. I nearly always turn it off if I’ve got somebody in the car.
  11. I might have said that until recently but with the surround sound and the sub, I’ve never let my music rip so much since I’ve had the ML system. I have a 25 mile commute through mostly sticks where I won’t disturb anyone.
  12. There’s a YouTube video where he claims it’s surprisingly good.
  13. I can tell you categorically that it is. Lexus have finished building the 250h so it’s just a question of depleting UK stocks. There will be a few changes to the spec too but mainly the Mk5 powertrain, digital dash and electronic gear shift.
  14. Mine still has a mind of its own. Sometimes it connects and others I have to mess accepting or rejecting terms etc. it’s a clunky system, far from perfect.
  15. People running NX450+ and RZ,s complaining about other people’s pension eh? It’s a despicable entitled culture we live in these days and I can’t for the life of me understand the logic. I’ve got one of those pensions and if I lost it, I’d be routing for those still with one to keep it, not lose it too but that’s the world we live in. We’ll have to hope people running old Vauxhalls don’t wish Lexus owners bad luck. The neighbour hit a pot hole in her Mazda coming to the airport for me and it ruined a nearly new all season tyre. That was several weeks ago and they’re still fighting it. Of course there will be people claiming free tyres in bogus claims which won’t help the cause but we can deflect that by blaming pensions.
  16. Why is there a safety issue going forward? Explain how this happens. Explain this please. Where and how do the pads stick on the disc?
  17. I think terraclean is more for carbon fouling Phil. This is more likely to be inside the engine. I’ll pass it on.
  18. Thanks Colin. I’m finding stuff on the subject and it’s becoming apparent. At one time I would have pulled it all apart but those days are gone so I’ll feed it back. Once an engine gets to that state, it’s usually beyond recovery without major surgery to get the carbon out so prevention is better than cure with regular oil changes and good quality fuel. Cheers Colin.
  19. Hi folks. Got a mate with a 1.8 CT on an 11 plate with pushing 100k on it. He’s had it a long time but for the last couple of years it’s started using about 2 litres per 1000 miles of proper 0/20 oil. No leaks or smoke. Before I delve into it, is this a common issue on this engine? A search is bringing up anything but useful information.
  20. They’re having to circumnavigate Africa thanks to the Red Sea trouble.
  21. A good paint supplier will have a set of swatches on a ring. Tell them grey and you’ll get about 50 shades (that’s where I’ve heard it before!) and you’ll find something so close you won’t be able to tell.
  22. I think the bottom line is, have a go and see if it shouts at you then decide 👍
  23. If you like it that’s good but I’d rather have something a bit more substantial like the moulded things you get in most other cars. There’s a lot of noise comes from the boot and it would help keep it out.
