Can't help regarding the pads etc but just a word of warning, check your insurers will cover this modification before you launch into the change

I would have thought optimum battery life charging cycle would be built into the system by design. Just because it's plugged in doesn't mean it's charging? If an 80% charge maintains the design range for more years the system would do it automatically

Be careful larger pistons and calipers might require a servo upgrade as well. I can see the appeal of changing to more a impressive looking brake setup but it rarely achieves a performance upgrade (unless coupled with other upgrades and then usually just for track performance) plus the big elephant in the room, insurance. Make sure your insurer is ok with the modification.

Can you lock up the wheels (invoke ABS) when you do an emergency stop? Bigger brakes will not give better stopping power, that depends as much on tyre grip. What bigger brakes give is greater heat dispersion and more consistent repeated stops, not something one usually encounters on road driving. Drilled discs do tend to be noisier than non-drilled but they also disperse water better and can offer better initial bite. They wouldn't be fitted if they didn't offer a benefit. I'd be tempted to get brakes overhauled first to be sure they are functioning as designed, Lexus spent lots of money/man-hours developing them in combination with the car.

Does the NX not have an S transmission mode, not just the Sport and Sport+ driving modes? My RC300h has the S transmission mode that allows a very good imitation of manual gear changes, allowing the driver to drop a 'gear' in preparation to overtaking, or cornering. Very 'PlayStation' like as in changes are instantaneous!

UK RAISES ALERT LEVEL The English 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿are feeling the pinch in relation to recent Russian 🇷🇺 threats and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. The Russians 🇷🇺 have been re-categorised from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish 🇪🇸 Armada. The Scots 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 have raised their threat level from “****** Off” to “Let’s Get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army 🪖 for the last 300 years. The French 🇫🇷 government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag 🏳️ factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability. They have also started wearing their reversible coats 🧥. Italy 🇮🇹 has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.” The Germans 🇩🇪 have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.” Belgians 🇧🇪 on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels. The Spanish 🇪🇸 are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

To reinstate the warranty on the hybrid battery and the car generally one simply requires to get the car serviced by a Lexus dealership. A hybrid system health check will be done FOC at the same time. https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/servicing-and-maintenance/hybrid-health-check/#hero

Well John, at least you still have maps displaying, in my 'little incident' everything disappeared! Hopefully all will be resolved with little inconvenience (and no cost) 🤞

Force it into EV only mode? How did you find the noise when you took the test drive? I find the engine noise very muted in my RC, and with the radio on, totally inaudible
