Tesco are no longer free. I used Tesco for the first time a few weeks ago, and all was fine and FREE. I went back this week to do the shopping and they charged me 28p Kwh. Still cheap but I have got solar at home so not worth it for me. Its a shame because I was out at the bowls club every week, and was planning for the weekly shop and a free charge at the same time!

When my RX battery was on the way out I used mine several times and it worked just fine. Definitely a good investment.

UPDATE: Spoke to Lexus UK via chat today and this was the response to my question: Has the car got its own sim card to enable it to have a data connection. If so is this a free data connection, and for how long? Message from Agent. Good question! The NX 450h has an embedded SIM card within a DCM unit. Message from Agent. The connectivity is offered free of charge for 4 years from the point you register the Multimedia (logging in within the car using your Lexus account details). Message from Agent. this will ensure that your mapping is kept always up to date, and the Lexus Link connected services will operate without needing anything else! Message from Visitor. Great! So when this runs out what is the on going cost please. Message from Agent. Another good question.. to be very honest, we have not yet been informed what the re-subscription costs will be! Message from Agent. I can assure you that our Connected Car teams here in the UK are also very excited to learn what the costs will be. I'm sorry that I can't share that information yet.

Silly question time. I thought I read somewhere that you get a data allowance with Lexus for your car for three years for the communications link. I mentioned this to the dealer and you would have thought I had grown another head. So...... how does the car communicate when you want to do the trick things shown on the Lexus site, and if so has it got a sim card of its own and where is it fitted? Another question.... Is the car set up to open windows and sunroof via the fob as standard or do you have to get this set up by the dealer? 16 days and counting..........

It won't fall off it won't give you problems and as its an advisory, leave it until next year and see if it fails [ I doubt it very much] and so it goes on. I stopped having MOT's at Lexus and use a local garage. Lexus were very keen to fail, and as an ex-mechanic I felt they were after extra work.

At the moment its wrapped in plastic white, but it will be Sonic White.

My wife bought a CHR orange edition in March, and we have just returned from a 1k mile driving holiday in and around Wales. It was fantastic and returned 57mpg average even with hooning around the wonderful roads. Horses for courses I guess but we luv ours.

Got a phone call to say that my new car was at the dealers, so off I went and sure enough............ I've decided to take delivery first week of September

I have advertised it on Autotrader for a few weeks at just under 15k so lets see what gets offered. The first caller was at 14k over the phone, but wanted to haggle if he found any problems when he saw it. Sounded like a dealer to me. So lets see who calls next?

I thought that We Buy Any Car and Cazoo were the same people. Cazoo just did the selling?

Well the NX is in the UK now, so my car is going up for sale this week. I have been looking at second hand prices and I think about £14.5k looks about the average, what do you all think, is that a fair price? WBAC have offered £12750 but that will drop when they start looking for every stone chip and hair on the upholstery. Motorway recon £13.8k but that is an average.......... So difficult to price these days!

Update, I have had contact with my dealer, and they are saying that the expected collection date for me will be 25 August, that I would push back to 1st Sept for 72 reg purposes. However this date is flexible and could move forward.

My RX450h will be up for sale soon as my new NX should be with me in the next couple of months. So if you are interested its a 2012 in pearlescent white, premier with pan roof. Full Lexus service history, so relax warranty until Oct 2022, MOT March 2023. I haven't really looked at prices yet, so I will have to do some homework on that one. As I don't know exactly when the NX will be ready, this is just to see if anyone on here would be interested before I advertise it on Auto trader or trade it in later on.

Got the long awaited email today. Build in progress. NX450 ordered on 14 Feb. Don't know how long it will take until I actually get my hands on it, but at least the ball is rolling now.

Though it was a very difficult decision, I am selling my trusty 2012 RX pan roof because I have ordered a NX450h with premium plus pack and sunroof. I had always planned on replacing my RX three years ago, but life and covid got in the way. I then test drove a nearly new RX450 last year and was a bit underwhelmed to be honest. The terrible track pad infotainment system being the main problem. At this point the new NX was announced so I waited until last week to test drive it. Well, what can I say? Loved it to bits, found it really comfortable, quiet, and really quick, so the order is in place now, expected delivery in July. So I will be asking all of my questions and giving any advice hear from now on. Ps don't tell Lexy about Nexy she has got to keep going until July
