  1. Well that's me told! I didn't realise this at all. Fascinating. I always thought it was a bit wasted unless you drove everywhere in S+... So, I must review what the Custom Mode setting screen says! Also, that must mean that the F-Sport feels different to drive in even Normal mode to other NX trims...
  2. Hi Andrew, it is normally only active in S+ mode, but you can make it active in Custom mode too if you wanted to use it, say in Normal mode without the increased throttle response etc. Custom mode is accessed by pressing the mode knob. HTH
  3. Yes, I've switched. Couldn't be happier on the quietness alone in comparison with the Yokohamas. Not noticed a change in mpg though to be honest.
  4. Or is it the Mazda workshop? 🤔☺️
  5. Hi Ronnie, I don't disagree. At the moment Lexus dealership seems to be going by the "not heard of that before, so must be your problem" route - but if these Bosch ones go the same way, I'll be back on to them. Cheers!
  6. I'm trying a Bosch replacement. See if I get a different result...
  7. I don't have the 450h+ but in the 300h, doesn't the engine like to get to temperature in case it's needed suddenly? To suddenly load a freezing cold engine with the whole weight of the vehicle would be bad.... wouldn't it? 🤔
  8. I would suggest not mentioning it at the service. Let it have the service (they won't notice it!), start the warranty, then take it back in a month or two's time to say they're not working... You're welcome. 😉
  9. Yeah, essentially mine has split 3 times in a year. Exactly the same place each time. Not sure what to do. First one was only replaced after 3 years! At £18 a throw or something, this is going to cost a fortune if it keeps happening. 🥴
  10. The driver's side wiper blade on my NX300h has split in exactly the same place, twice in the last 12 months. Last December I replaced the original 2019 blades with a new OEM set from Lexus Parts Direct. In July I noticed that the driver's side had already split only 6 months later. I had to order new a new one from LPD to replace it (they wouldn't offer any warranty replacement on it)... then today I've noticed the new one has split again, in exactly the same place. Any one else had this? I'm now thinking that I have some sort of problem with the wiper that is causing the blades to keep splitting. 🤔🤔🤔 To be clear, the problem is at the far right hand side of the offside (long) wiper (so the bottom of the blade sweep).
  11. All true I'm sure. Just to say though, the Cross Climates are remarkably and noticeably quiet IN the car in comparison to the original tyres.
  12. A regular issue. Have experienced this a number of times but my dealer in Chester has always exchanged the ones I told them I believed were faulty. Since I applied the "vaseline trick" - see other threads including , the problem has stopped occuring. Swapping out the sensors only temporarily fixes the problem as there's a design fault allowing water to enter. It would be nice to think they've fixed it on the newer model!
  13. Oh, common problem. Drives me mad that people don't understand thermostats. I often get my car back from servicing with the A/C set to "LO" - ie the lowest setting... (16c?) - my question would always be do you want the temperature to be 16 degrees? If not, why set it to be that!?!?!? Aaaaaggghhhh.
  14. Hi! Put the vehicle into reverse while stationary and adjust the mirrors to how you'd like them to be when reversing. Then put the vehicle back into P. Ensure the L/R mirror switch is pressed into either L or R positions and that should sort you out. 🙂
  15. Get it serviced by Lexus and then benefit from Lexus Relax until up to 2029 (if you have it serviced annually by Lexus).
  16. It's a 120 mile round trip for me, and I have a 2019 model thankfully. These stories put me off a new model. One of the reasons I bought a Lexus was I didn't want any non-service visits to the dealership! So far that's held true, not sure it would if I had the new model. Worrying, Lexus! 😐
  17. So, price risen but you can't actually buy one?! 🤔
  18. Simon, if you haven't fixed this yet, let me know, I can probably resolve it for you! Steve
  19. The sills are still visible even with the doors closed.
  20. Hi, I have the illuminated sills in my NX 2019 and they are on whenever the ignition is on or the doors are unlocked and you're "getting in or out". So yes they are on when you're driving along but while not impossible to see them, they're there if you look for them.
  21. ... No little click which holds it shut... but no it hasn't actually blown open. See wharfhouse's message above. THAT'S what's happening...! Cheers for your comments 👍
  22. And that ^^ is exactly what I'm seeing too. I'm really surprised that when the car isn't locked, nothing really holds the flap shut! Cheers 👍
