My repaired run flat is still going strong 18 months later so I wouldn't be concerned, and it definitely shouldn't be the reason for you to change them soon.

I'd give NFU Mutual a try also. Have to go direct but was easily the best when I renewed recently...

My list is heavily weighted to one brand, 80/90s hip hop to thank for the early intro... 

1996 Renault Clio Maxim 1.4

2003 Lexus IS200 Sport (Styling Kit/Nav)

2006 Lexus IS250 Sport

*Bike hiatus*

2002 Lexus IS200 Sport (Styling Kit/Nav)

2007 BMW 320D M Sport

2013 Lexus IS300h F Sport

2016 Lexus RC300h F Sport

2016 Lexus RX450h F Sport

2022 Lexus NX450h+ F Sport

Gotta be an LC when I get to retire the family cars...

Yes, it was very disappointing that Lexus didn't develop an upgrade for the earlier years in Europe.

Yeah, proper annoying as makes 2021s the eventual entry point for me, whenever that may be. 

I've had my plate for five years, and it's been on RC, RX, NX so far... LC will be it's next destination, and already dreaming of it back on a coupe after the family cars...

Cost the entry £250 and is an old 1998/99 reg, S33 for see and then my initials, so very obscure and cheap, but I love it. The symmetry is pleasing and I like that it disguises the age of the cars...

Always wanted C4 SPA and remember it being £4k in the 90s when I started driving!

Recently got the Mrs one at £250, new style and even more obscure as family member initials connected with an acronym, but nice little sentimental gift. 

If you want a proper fitted one then I'd try Brodit.

That's the bracket and you just need to add the appropriate phone cradle.

Have downloaded the new App but doesnt recognise the Reg number nor the VIN. Is there a limit as to age of car - its a 2014 NX300H

Yes, appears to be for the new model. 

Had my first service yesterday which also included the two most recent recalls, and car had been partially reset which meant I had to link the app again. It pushed me to the new app and had same issue as others where the 2FA wouldn't come through, but seemed to resolve itself as all good after closing and reopening app. 

Definitely looks better...

I've been using a 10m one from here as recommended by someone else on this site.

Anybody watch this this week? either Lexus decided to kick themselves in the teeth or the programme was biased against them. Four hybrid cars put through their test. Volvo, Hyundai and Skoda and a Lexus RX. Only issue was the other three were 2023 models and the Lexus RX 2019. The Lexus was kicked out within seconds described as out dated and poor battery power. To be honest the Lexus looked scruffy. If Lexus supplied the vehicle they did their selves a disservice. If the programme did it was unfair.

It was the UX and full EVs on test, so thought it was pretty fair, as not their best work or strong point in general at the moment I'd say.

Hi Deb, I am in the same camp, ordered Sep22 just before price increases and then they stopped taking new orders. I have ordered NX350h FSport with panoramic sunroof. I got a good deal from my dealer, priced at 50k after discounts. I am also looking for other brands but finding it hard to match price, performance and spec on other brands compared to NX. Any suggestions on brand/make?

 

It's crazy how the prices have risen since release. My 450h+ F Sport cost bit under £51k after discounts the dealer had to apply due to fluctuations in used car prices from order to delivery.

My key certainly looks different from the pics in the manual once the “key part” is removed. Can anyone explain which way it slides to get to the battery, tried all ways and it doesn’t want to budge.

Also, for those who have changed the battery, did you get any warning that the battery in the fob was low?

Nope, no warning whatsoever. Work from home so been turning off the signal after the morning childminder run, and it simply didn't come back on the morning I was heading out early to the office for a client lunch.

Thank you Tony, much appreciated, it is so easy when you know how🤔

I had taken the mechanical key out but was trying to slide it from top to bottom as per the key on my previous RX🙄

Same, was like the RX or anything before it!

Agreed on the poor journey logging! Haven't studied it but see it missed the first journey out this morning, so assume the same throughout... 

Heating works but I've had scheduled ones fail a couple times, and so needs improving for sure.

Biggest annoyance that persists for me is the profile sync login requests - got to the point where I've had to change my Google password manager generated password for something easier!

I have had my NX 350h for 3 months now but intermittently it keeps telling me to check the rear seat, I look round and the only thing near it is the centre armrest folded down, not even touching the seat. Technology gone mad !!!

You can turn that off in the settings. Had to do so due to the kids car seat.

The keys with the latest CT, slide apart. Almost broke the key trying to prise it apart following the videos.

You're a star mate! 

My main key stopped working yesterday and it appears that the Battery has died after just 5 months... Very strange, especially as I've been turning off the constant signal when parked up at home. 

Unlike my previous Lexus, this fob doesn't have a slot for the manual key to go in so you can prise it open, so anyone know how you open these new ones?

All good things come to those who wait 😄

The wait is finally over!

Had the same yesterday morning after the remote heating schedule didn't activate, but worked after rubbing my finger on it a bit. 

Agree it's strange they didn't make it exactly the same as the locking touch sensor. 

Mine has failed on occasion and like the issue where it says it can't sync your profile, I've put in down to the poor mobile signal I have at home and the cars built in connection. 

This is my one little annoyance at the moment. Happens once every few weeks or so and I do the same as Andy and it goes away. Figured it could be related to poor mobile reception around home causing the car not to be able to connect back to Lexus via its own connection, similar to how the remote heating schedule can occasionally fail. 

December update didn't fix it either. 

Definitely not related to your mobile connection or WiFi so don't waste your time with that. 

I'm another who has gone from an RX450h to an NX450h, and no regrets for me. 

Lexus is my brand of choice and when I needed something family oriented a couple of years back the RX was the only option as I did not like the old NX interior at all, and wasn't that keen on the exterior either. 

Came from an RC so didn't enjoy driving the RX anywhere near as much, and wasn't keen on the body roll, but couldn't really fault it otherwise (was used to the old infotainment system). Definitely didn't need something as big though, and so was very interested in the new NX, and specifically the 450h as majority of my driving is local and so fits the profile for a plugin hybrid. 

The NX has brought the driving enjoyment back for me and with a little over 2k on the clock now, I seem to be averaging about 1k miles per tank. 

I'm loving the new tech which has been a long time coming for Lexus.

Last update I had was just before Christmas and AA still working fine, just not with the new UI yet... Hoping it'll appear sooner rather than later.

@CaspaLooks like it's starting to roll out to everyone from today:-

https://www.androidpolice.com/android-auto-redesign-rollout-ces-2023/

I hope to see it every time I get in but nothing as yet so usual server side switch lottery...

Tailgate button has to be held rather than a single press, and it only works if the doors are unlocked. 

You can set the doors to unlock when the park button is pressed / engine is turned off.

Would someone be able to clarify how to store a driving position using the memory function - I can set a steering wheel position but not the seat?

I had the same issue with the seat position not sticking and it just needed a reset, as per Ken's helpful instructions.

I moved the seat to its furthest forward position, followed by its furthest rearward position, then put the reclining backrest to its most upright position and finally to its most reclined position. I then sat in the seat and adjusted everything to its final position that suited me and "recorded" this by holding set with button 1. You can then repeat to hold configurations for other drivers at buttons 2 and 3. Details are in the handbook. Hope this helps!
