  1. I got it fitted as part of the protection pack. Its basically a thin transparent vinyl strip which isn't nearly as robust as the phase 1 aluminium version. That said it appears to be doing the job after 22 months!
  2. Figures improved after overnight charge with a predicted 46.6/39.1. Actual yesterday was 36 against the predicted 38.4 probably thanks to milder temperatures of c8 degrees.
  3. Ah. Every day is a school day! I knew that the rear wiper had been deleted from the RZ.
  4. So if you see a Lexus being driven with only one headlamp working the chances are its just been nicked!
  5. Can't say that I have had that issue although I tend to use the heated seats and so these continue when the ICE kicks in.
  6. Signs that the prediction may be levelling off with an overnight indication of 46.2/38.4. Actual remains c27.
  7. Please let us know how you get on with the renewal.
  8. My understanding was that the NX in its latest edition (late 2021 - present) has the rerouted wiring and therefore the CANBUS threat was reduced. I appreciate the UWB keys were only introduced in 2023. Its simple verification of these facts that owners are seeking.
  9. Aviva is my insurer (NX450h) and have to date been quite competitive. Due to renew in just over 3 months time so will let everyone know if they are (a)willing to continue and if so (b) what the inevitable increase is.
  10. Lexus Edinburgh have an LBX on site for test drives today and tomorrow (Sunday 21st).
  11. Yes Ronnie that plays a big part along with where the vehicle is kept overnight. I believe insurers prefer a private driveway rather than a locked garage! Work that one out!!!
  12. And still it falls......Last night's overnight charge giant prediction of 46.2/38.3.
  13. I drive the same car, 20 yrs no claims(protected), no accidents, 12000 miles SD&P, enhanced grade replacement vehicle, £0 voluntary excess and all for £348. Fully expect that this will rise significantly at renewal.
  14. Likewise I have also had around 5 gallons of fuel replaced for each recall and a courtesy car supplied foc. Customer care in my experience has been faultless.
  15. And the winner for the seventh year in succession is..............Lexus! Great achievement. The NX (2014-2021) is the shining star with the latest NX not far behind followed by the UX. The second highest scoring large SUV was the RX(2016-2022).
  16. I can't complain about dealings with Aviva. Always been fair but will be able to make further comment at renewal time in May!
  17. What is needed is a definitive list of models and production years that have the wiring routed in such a way that they are prone to CANBUS theft. If the electrical architecture on the latest models prevents this method of theft are faraday pouches still required?
  18. Yes Ronnie. I went to view it last month and was very impressed - its a great looking car and the interior was top quality. Like you it's the boot size that is the stumbling black for me albeit it appeared bigger than I imagined.
  19. I see the LBX has just won the Car of the Year accolade by What Car. That's quite a boost. Described as first car in its class to combine hybrid efficiency with big car luxury.
  20. My experience is that I have always received a full tank of fuel.
  21. Perhaps the insurance companies should take note too?!
  22. Have Lexus ever confirmed that the latest (22 MY) NX isn't subject to CANBUS thefts? There is much talk that the electric architecture is such that this is the case [particularly on the 450h] however I have yet to see any verification of this. I did enquire about fitting security plates for the NX but was told that these were unavailable.
