    Prices are all a bit eye watering these days! I used to laugh at oldsters saying "Two pounds for a pint"* and now I'm one of them. Still at least we're not matching Turkey's 65% inflation rate - yet! That will be net year under a different Government no doubt. *Local pub has just been 'refitted' - Guinness now £6.50 a pint!

    When in Adaptive Cruise, (that is when the car matches the speed of the vehicle in front), then it will only increase or decrease in 5's. If you hold the Cruise-on button for a few seconds then you get standard cruise (non-adaptive) and that increases in 1mph increments. Sadly the standard cruise does not have the added safety benefits of the adaptive cruise and I would suggest caution when using it.

    You're right there Don. If in Scotland the police now have respond to any complaint under their new Hate Crime Law which is such a wide field that drivers will have no fear of seeing a patrol car as the officers will all be busy checking whether someone saying they don't like Tartan is an ethnic hate crime or not! World has gone crazy and this is not the society I thought we would have in the 21st century. Where are all the Gull wing cars, the Nehru collar suits and the Aliens? Hang-on, I've slipped into childhood TV progs again!

    I left for a healthy walk and a less healthy coffee at the Garden Centre. It's England so of course I grabbed my Brolly from the car and set off. Whilst just about to pay for my coffee order, my phone pinged to tell me that my car was unlocked! What use is that? I couldn't lock it remotely nor could I dash back the mile and a half home to lock it! Ignorance can be bliss but knowledge can be very frustrating.

    In mine it's in Menu-Settings-Navigation-Map then scroll down to the bottom and Speed Camera option is there. Once selected you will see the Camera Icon on the map. I can't find any options for visual/audio so I get once on you will get both.

    It's Elf n' Safety gone mad. They'll be saying we can't send kids up chimneys next!

    Does it sound like the UFO noise when a car was featured in the puppet show? Yes, it's most likely the Warning noise as mentioned. Mine stops around 15mph I think. I hear my wife coming home from about 100 yards away as her Yaris also creates this noise. It gives me chance to look busy when she arrives!

    Mine is a 2022 reg and mine does audio alert when cameras are present. There is also a graphic of a camera on the map. Must be an on/off option I think.

    Maybe the RX/NX owners dare not take them out for fear of theft or maybe my area is less well off and we can only afford the UX! Who knows the reason but when I was out for my sojourn on Saturday I spotted 4 UX pass by and one NX plus my UX on the drive makes 5 to 1. I guess this confirms your final statement that the UX is indeed the current top seller as I supposed. Of course this is all said in fun. I realise that there must be lots of old Lexus around but to be honest I take little notice of those in the same way I don't register other older marques.

    They are a very nice car indeed. Must be by far the most sold model of a Lexus as since owning one I see so many - but they always look so good! There is a strange phenomena though. Why does every other UX I see look larger than my own?

    I ran mine at a higher pressure until I swapped the run-flats for ordinary tyres for that very reason. Tyre noise significantly reduced which makes sense as there would be less contact with the tarmac, I assume!

    Wabbit Wun actwary!

    The School Run is killing my average so I've stopped worrying about it. If I think about it too much I may wish I was back in the land of the wage-slaves instead of enjoying a non-stop life of excitement as a retiree!

    Clever. Good luck with fitting the heater in your tyres, I'll wave hello when you fly over one day!

    And in which parallel universe is Air lighter than Air?

    Sounds cheap if you consider the price of a new floppy luggage cover! 😬

    I thought Apple Car play was standard. What did you actually pay for? If you don't mind me asking.

    Anyone see the report in the Daily Mail today about EV range being wildly inaccurate? As if we didn't already know. They specifically mentioned the UX300e as being the worst for advertised range to 'real world'. In fact I wouldn't call it that 'real' as they kept the cars out overnight in cold weather then drove them around a track until they died. In a 'real' situation I'm sure that Hills, Traffic, Heater Use, etc. would have an even greater affect on the averages.

    They say things come in threes. I hope the third is of the Good Luck variety!

    Personally I find the sound system superb. I play everything from classical to heavy metal and have tuned the bass to my preference. My only irritation is radio broadcast companies using any old crap recorded on a smartphone or over a dodgy internet connection. Studio news readers are loud and clear but their interviewees may as well be Martians. I can't blame the car system for that! I've coupled mine to an Android Dongle and use Amazon music. Sounds great. Don't ask Miss Google to play a certain track of music though, results are a lottery!

    C-hr must be good, there are 100s of taxi Chr around Leicester!

    I know it's not really a funny subject but this image me smile. Labelled as 'Hitchin, Summer 24'!

    From the warnings I read in various papers and other media sources, it would appear that they take your deposit and run! It's the wild west out there! I've always found that if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.

    I'm on 199 posts - this one isn't for any good reason other than to move my count to 200! 199 seems unlucky to me!

    My problem hasn't recurred since the Lexus Leicester mechanic took the brakes apart to clean a 'channel' that he says holds the brake/road dust. I don't know where this Channel is but it seemed to do the trick.
