  1. Yes yours is quite low mileage so maybe its pretty clean. After about 10 miles or so of driving i notice its more responsive in Normal mode.Also when going from EV to engine whilst driving its more smoother too.I,ve used it for the last 50K odd miles in the CT.
  2. Its a beautiful car indeed.Pure JDM.
  3. I just use regular Shell petrol in my CT and then every other fill up i add Redex to it.You really notice a difference after you use that.I,ve been using it for years.The whole EGR system on mine is totally clean at 111K. I noticed no difference with V power at all.The same when i used to own a diesel Octavia,V power made no difference.I used Millers diesel clean and that stuff is amazing.
  4. I,d say there is a massive air lock in there somewhere.
  5. Looking up close thats one seriously corroded wheel nut.I hope they can get it off. Good luck.
  6. I,ve got the ML system and its an excellent high quality system which i think is much better than Bose.
  7. Sadly its only the ML that gets the subwoofer and there are no other makes fitted. You would need the ML head unit too if you wanted a sub.
  8. Thanks for popping that wiring loom up on here as i,m going to do a very big loom relocation on mine and hopefully try and put it on the inside of the engine bay.
  9. I,ve seen people retrofitting them on the US CT forum but that was some time ago and may take a bit of trawling through. There isn,t a plug and play module on these as i doubt that there is an additional loom in there for it.
  10. As said you can get the hybrid health check (cost £59 at Lexus) which will give you extended warranty on that although i highly doubt you,ll ever need it as they don,t go wrong. The only other "minor" failure would be the 12v Aux battery in the boot if yours hasn,t been replaced or is the original battery? They only fail due to age and not a general problem on the CT.Mine is a 2011 also and it failed at 8 years old. Nothing really goes wrong with these if they are serviced when they should be using the correct parts/oil.
  11. I,ve never been charged yet for any loan car from Lexus.No idea why some do and some don,t.
  12. I was going to get the Lexus dealer to fit one in mine at it,s service last year but to be honest they,re overpriced from them and have heard they don,t communicate very well with the there App.
  13. I used this.Been using it for years and can,t find anything better.
  14. I got my N/S mirror cover replaced by the dealer as they come ready painted.I didn,t fancy trying to match Pearl White paint.It wasn,t cheap at £121 which includes the front surround too but it,s a perfect match and finish.
  15. I,ve never heard of anything positive about Nextbase so thats one i,m going to avoid. I,ve been watching and reading reviews about the Vantrue T3 dashcam and i,m very impressed about it.The mounting,fitting and easy wiring is spot on and yet to see any complaints about them.Video quality is excellent day and night.Also much cheaper to buy.
  16. I,m definately not worried about this and if i was you i would keep the car and as said enjoy it. After having a Catloc fitted at a Lexus dealer with warning stickers i feel more safer about it.I,m picky where i park it anyway so don,t really leave it in any dodgy areas.
  17. Sorry to read this.I would never of thought an NX was a target until now.I thought the cats on those are hidden right up into the engine bay like the is300h? Good luck and i hope it all gets sorted quickly.
  18. Me too i,ve rarely had an occasion to use it but i did check today after reading the post and it,s ok. The item in the eBay link would be the part needed and well worth buying to save a big expense from Lexus.
  19. Common problem on these and exactly as 200h has said it will be the spring.
  20. If any translation is needed it just so happens that my wife is Chinese 😊
  21. Mine comes on at 29 miles and no chiming noise.Also this light will not come on when ign is 1st put on.
  22. Can,t see the before shots but the result is a good finish.
  23. I saw a while back via the US ct200h forums that Aliexpress do a correct fitment headunit which does this but you keep the original display unit on top and change the stereo itself in the console.
