Be Careful that the NX 12v socket only supports a total of 120w: “The power outlet can be used to supply power for devices which operate on 12VDC at less than 10A (power consumption of 120 W). When connecting multiple devices, make sure that the total power consumption of all the connected devices is less than 120 W.”

@Andy B will do but it may be some time before I get the welds checked. Interestingly, i did a local journey this afternoon (Thursday). After the trip my car is showing in the app as being on my drive and not at Tesco. However, the last trip still shows my 45 minute journey to Tesco on Tuesday, not the two local journeys since then. Perhaps there is a minimum distance in miles to qualify for Hybrid Coaching last trip?

Hi Ken. I have just taken some screenshots to give to Lexus when it goes in for the Weld check. It shows my car as being at Tesco which I visited Tuesday The car is on my drive and I can flash the lights via the app. It is also showing my last journey as Tuesday despite the fact that I made a 20 minute journey yesterday (Wednesday). Glad it is not just me - I thought my GPS wes playing up but it must be the App if I am not the only one.

Bear in mind that there are 2 Recalls detailed in the Clublexus.com forum link i posted above. The first is the Spot Weld issue that my dealer confirmed my recall is for. The second is a software issue with the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system. Some may have both and some may have one or the other on their own. I personally would much rather have the software issue rather than Spot Welds potentially missing. If your car is produced pre January it might be just the Software if the anecdotal info is correct that the weld problem was January production only. Fingers crossed for you.🤞

Thanks for the Toyota checker link Andy. I put my reg in and it confirmed that I have the recall. I think that is confirmation that your NX isn’t affected. Maybe the welding robot had too much Sake over Christmas! 😜

NX Owners in the US and Canada have been receiving recall notices for a potential Spot Weld issue on the front Shock Absorbers. There is a rumour that it is only January Production models (which mine is) but this is not confirmed yet. The thread for this can be found here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/nx-2nd-gen-2022-current/984303-anyone-got-the-recall-notice.html I checked the UK DVLA site for recall notices last night and mine was not listed, but this morning it is. You can enter your Reg here: https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ The dealers have only been informed by Lexus this morning so do not have full details yet of what is involved. It is a potentially serious fault so I am hoping A that the inspection determines all our welds are there, or B if some are missing that they can just spot weld them in situ at the dealer. I don’t want to think about C…….

Not sure how you can have a “Gentleman’s Agreement” over extra VED as it is automatically applied based on the Published Lexus list price on the day your car is first registered. You will be charged the £355 extra per year from year 2. Are you saying the dealer gave you a £ 1,775 discount to cover it?

Yes, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I am really pleased that they have a channel in them because my old UX Thule Aero Bars had a channel for my Kayak holders and I am guessing they will transfer over to these bars😬 Only downside could be that they are quite narrow - especially the back - so I may struggle to get both Kayaks on at once. Watch this space! This was them on the UX:

Bars arrived today😬 Genuine Lexus Parts.

No. I haven’t used the Park Assist yet where you push a button and the car parks itself.

Yes, it is Takumi with Auto Parking but I don’t haven’t used it yet so the beeps are not directly connected to that function.

It happens when I reverse too close to the wall behind the rear, or if I drive forward too close to the wall in front. Typically i am about a foot away and it gives 8 beeps after locking the car as I walk away. Never gone back to look at the dash but will do so next time it happens. Not sure about your last question Don…. Mine is a Takumi but not sure what “with out parking” refers to.

I get the same when parking too close to the wall but it is 8 beeps, not 5.🤔

Andrew, have you watched this tutorial?: It is dealing with US spec cars but may help you.

It is far better than the spring-loaded piece of cloth that comes with the UX! I feel lucky to have a shelf!😜

I Had a Rover 214i in British Racing Greeen in the 80’s, A VW Sharan in metallic Green in the 90’s and a UX in Nori Green / Terrane Kahki in 2020. So when ordering the NX this was a natural choice! 😬

Posted these on the clublexus.com forum but happy to repeat here…. visiting my local tearoom.

Hope you are right!

Update: Had a message today that there is no ETA on these yet from Lexus. 🙄

Just ordered my Genuine Cross Bars from Lexus Parts Direct. Even with £ 16 postage, at £ 209 they are much cheaper than the dealer price of £250.

We always broke down going on holiday despite the preparations! 2 adults and 3 kids in a mini having a blowout…… and getting the detailed yellow page AA route maps…..

I don’t understand… Lexus UK web site says 4.9% finance on new NX ordered 22 Feb to 31 March. Where does 5.9% come from? 🧐

I would expect them to left hand drive cars so no benefit to the UK….

In had a red MG Maestro in the 1980’s with the digital dash that used to cut out at junctions in hot weather due to fuel starvation as the carburettor overheated. Rover put an alloy plate under the carb but it only delayed the problem by a few miles! After that I had a Montego and absolutely loved it!

Well it is perfectly quiet now!😜😂
