    Fascinating! I think this may transform the way we consider quoted consumption figures in the future...
  2. Steve Oliver
    I think you're spot on here. When I queried the change with the dealer (before I purchased) he played dumb as though he'd never heard that before.
  3. Steve Oliver
    Well, you said you're getting 33ish, which is a little low, but based on quoted figures of 37, it's not far off, especially for short journeys in the winter. So,I don't think there's a problem.
  4. Steve Oliver
    There was an anomoly in the quoted figures in the NX brochures last year - if you compare the two, one was c. 57mpg and the current brochure reads c.37mpg. The latter seems very accurate - I think the former was a mistake. Which figure are you working to?

    Hiya, just rreading this- I came from a Nissan X-Trail - bigger than the Qashqai and I used to get high 40s from the X-Trail - but don't be under any illusions that either of those cars are similar and therefore directly comparable with the NX. The NX is almost 2 tons in weight (luxurious and a lot of heavy tech) - so if it wasn't a hybrid, you'd be looking at about 22 mpg from an all-petrol engine. The fact that you have a hybrid means it's a lot better mpg than a non-hybrid NX (other countries) - and hence - high 30s and low 40s - but only when driven in an optimal way... "hybrid-drive"... 🙂

    Never had this. Perhaps the 2019 has an updated system...
  7. Steve Oliver
    I haven't had this AT ALL. The system has never caused anyone to flash me and seems to work perfectly. Other than only operating above too high a speed. Which is a pain.

    Following!

    I have a 2019 NX F Sport with the AHS system. As long as the Auto switch is on and the Main Beam stalk is pushed on, at 36mph or so, the main beam activates. If you've done all that then you may have a fault!

    Hmm.... I take it they DO know they can't tow it?! 🤔
  11. Steve Oliver
    Am I right in saying that Lexus Breakdown Service wasn't engaged for this (I know they're the same thing), but that you went through 'normal' AA procedures? If so that may have had a play in this.
  12. Steve Oliver
    Er, how do you mute it? I always hit the power knob to shut it up.
  13. Steve Oliver
    Good news re the Lexus response, that is what I'd expect from them. Thankfully living up to expectations on that front 👍
  14. Steve Oliver
    That's quite shocking. I'd be up the wall at the delay!

    Just checked the big manual too, no FWD warning...
  16. Steve Oliver
    I'm not aware of an FWD warning. No idea what that is. And that message does sound too long to me too. It wouldn't fit in the central multi info screen. Intrigued to know what the problem is. Also, why didn't the AA recover the vehicle there and then? It should have been taken directly to the nearest Lexus dealer for you, and Lexus should be providing a courtesy car. There are all sorts of benefits to the Lexus Breakdown Cover...
  17. Steve Oliver
    Just unlucky, I'm certain! Once they fix this issue, that'll be it I'm quite sure.
  18. Steve Oliver
    Very bad luck indeed. There's an exception to every rule. Suffice to say, the NX is THE most reliable car you can buy in some reports and Lexus the most reliable manufacturer. Hope you get it sorted quickly. Oh, is there any chance you could correct your last but one paragraph, as I'd love to know what was wrong, but I think the predictive texting got a little confused! 😉

    Thanks for that, it helps when advising others. Must say in typical Apple fashion, makes it look quite confusing, like you have to be part of the family to use your connection ☺️

    Phil, for clarity, does iPhone call it Bluetooth Tethering or just "Personal Hotspot", ie is the difference between a Bluetooth hotspot and a WiFi hotspot obvious on the phone?
