    I think it must be the sat nav. Older models like the Gen 4 only use the camera I believe, hence you get 120 etc as that's often a sticker on the back of a truck.

    Do you mean the Classic XK150 or something more modern? The Classic XK150 would win in the looks department but loose in every other category.

    That can't be true, there would have to be a risk assessment first, then a major incident declared with at least another six police vehicles in attendance.

    4,000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire.....

    The comparison sites generally offer dates 1-month in advance of the policy start date. So I took out a new policy as soon as I could, then two weeks later saw exactly the same policy and company on another comparison site for around £240 cheaper (nuts I know). So cancelled the first policy before it started and took out the cheaper option, (cost £20 in admin to cancel, but I did get a £15 Amazon voucher for taking out the policy initially).

    I had the letter too, but weirdly they still come up on some of the comparison sites with a reasonably sensible price (but high excess).
  7. Spock66
    Make sure you try several of the comparison sites as well, I found significant differences in the prices for the same company & policy.
  8. Spock66
    Yes that's the classic symptoms of a wheel bearing on the way out. I doubt you would get any significant noise unless they are completely toast.

    Contact Lexus Customer Relations to have it fitted - cr@lexus.co.uk

    Mazda CX60 is worth a look I think.
  11. Spock66
    Do you use the car every day or just occasionally, I find with any car this happens during the winter months if not used regularly to get warm air flowing through the car.

    Would be better if someone could drive it around the block once a week, as this will prevent the tyres getting flat spots, clean surface rust of the brake discs, reduce likelihood of parking brake sticking etc.

    I had both sides fitted as advised by Lexus. However, I have not seen any posts where a vehicle has been stolen due to access from the offside.

    And how it looks on the DVLA website Date of first registration March 2010 Date of first registration with DVLA March 2022
  15. Spock66
    Not sure, but I would expect the Date of First Registration on the DVLA website would not align with the year of manufacture if it's an import? https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax

    A Voltmeter will also give an indication of whether the alternator is charging, should be around 14V with the engine running, also check it under heavy load (headlights, rear screen heater, blower fan, heated seats etc).

    As you say Canbus has been around for many years and it's fine for controlling lights and other components etc, the problem is when it is also used for controlling critical car security functions. It was never designed to be a secure protocol, so major drop-off from Lexus to use it for this purpose. For the RX I believe it's only the 4th Gen (all years and all variants) that have the specific vulnerability. For the NX I think it's more complex as to which models are vulnerable.
  18. Spock66
    But enforcing that may be a different story, I think too many issues and walk away unless you are a DIY mechanic.

    Radio silence from Lexus continues.....
  20. Spock66
    Switch cleaner spray?
  21. Spock66
    I agree sounds like something loose and rattling. I also think any issues with oil viscosity would be a constant sound rather than intermittent as is happening here.
  22. Spock66
    I suspect little more than just plug in a tester into the Hybrid test port. Any reason why you're having it done separately as it's a no cost part of the service?
  23. Spock66
    Presumably you are now having the Full rather than Intermediate service, I don't think the prices have changed much over that period. Bear in mind that with a 2014 car you may still qualify for the Relax warranty, and if you sneak in the last service immediately before the 10-year / 100,000 mile limit you will get another full years cover (at least that is my understanding).
  24. Spock66
    A warranty trip to the dealers surely for a 2022 car?
  25. Spock66
    That's in the manual for just about every car I have owned, but it's never done as part of the service and something I have never done. I think the only advantage may be if you are a low mileage driver and don't want to end up changing tyres because they are aged and cracked rather than worn.
