    Both of my numbers starting to reduce: 56.1/53.3 tonight. My miles per k/wh was 3.0 yesterday - I didn't take a look today.
  2. Alan Thompson
    Today, I drove 21 miles and had an estimated range of 29 when I re-charged. Tonight's estimate is 56.7/54.4, so the a/c figure is starting to creep south now!
  3. Alan Thompson
    Reading my quote again, it looks like I'm moaning, but I am happy with the range which 9 times out of 10 accommodates my journeys for the day. Today I did 21 miles with an estimated range left of 25. 10 miles of my journeys today were at motorway speeds, the rest, battling my way through the continual roadworks that surround Leeds City Centre. Tonight's charge shows the same as yesterday - 56.7/55
  4. Alan Thompson
    I only achieved 41 miles on the above guess. To be fair, the vast majority of my journeys today have been 70mph motorway with lower temps and heated seat and wheel on for a time (I know, I'm soft!!) Tonights over optimistic guess is 56.7/55 😁
  5. Alan Thompson
    Range estimate starting to drop now along with the temperature, although with aircon figure has gone up!. Now 56.9/55.8
  6. Alan Thompson
    I've not taken much notice over the last few days, but tonight's charge results in 57.1/55.4 which is down a bit on the last time I checked at 57.4/56.3
  7. Alan Thompson
    Groundhog Day for me 57.4/56.3

    Mine has had the DC-DC swap today, also I reported continual problem with fuel flap. I thought I'd had it sorted last year, but it appears I was quick off the mark before it had become a service issue and all they did was grease it!! They are ordering me a new flap!! As for the frozen door locks, apparently my car isn't affected! It wasn't last year to be fair, so we'll see what this winter brings. At least if it is cold and does freeze, the steam coming out of my ears will be enough to defrost it 😁

    Thanks for the update Ken - mine's in tomorrow for the DC-DC thingy. No-one has mentioned the frozen door lock "cure" to me. Maybe we are two overcoats warmer in Yorkshire than you in the 'frozen North'!! 😂 On the subject of RZ, I foolishly requested a settlement fig on my PCP and the Lexus salesman was straight on the phone. I got in a conversation about the RZ and they gave me some figures to change, which I thought were quite promising. But my words were very similar to yours - add 100 onto the range (people on the RZ forum are reporting real world figures of around 190) and I'd be interested. My concern as it stands at the moment is that at the next 'facelift' they are likely to find a way to substantially increase range (they did that with the Volvo XC40) and I was concerned about the effect that would have on the resale value of the current model?

    Mine too is levelling off Ken 57.4 /56.3 I've reset my m/kwh. We'll see how it goes - without me doing anything last year it fell to 2.7 (I think) during the winter. I do remember commenting (probably page 4 or 5 on here!) that it was still way better than my previous Outlander PHEV

    57.4/56.2 tonight. I haven't reset yet Colin - I forgot today and I tend to get straight out of the car when I stop , not taking notice of the efficiency message that pops up.
  12. Alan Thompson
    Yes and it's been stuck at 3.3 since Spring. Maybe I should reset it?
  13. Alan Thompson
    And creeping back up 57.2/56.1 today. I need to be more organised around keeping tabs on the 'actual' figures.
  14. Alan Thompson
    57/55.3 Mine is up and down, but I've had a couple of long runs in the last few weeks and then several short ones in a day, exhausting the battery, so no regularity for the algorythm to settle on?
  15. Alan Thompson
    56.9/54.6 are tonight's figures
  16. Alan Thompson
    Thanks John I intend to stick with what I've got - had enough trouble getting this to work last year!!
  17. Alan Thompson
    Last night's charge resulted in 58.8/56.5 I had a few days where it was only showing one figure for range but back to how it used to be now. I've not downloaded the new app, I expect it will/may already have updated automatically.
  18. Alan Thompson
    I know, I had to check the figures 2 or 3 times! I think it's because the vast majority of my journeys are round trips of less than 30 miles. There are only 2 instances where I've done 500 miles round trips and I don't think any others have been over 100 miles. Maybe I should have gone full electric...................No, I like the flexibility.

    Refuelled for the 10th time today since taking delivery in March 22 and covering over 12500 miles. Overall consumption since the last fill is working out at 73.3mpg resulting from fuel purchased and the cost of electrical recharges converted to the current cost of E10 petrol. The overall consumption since taking delivery and using the above method of calculation is 63.94mpg. With credit to Ken R for the wording. My last fill up was more than 2700 miles ago on 29 April.
  20. Alan Thompson
    Interesting Ken. They said to me 3rd Oct was first availability too.
  21. Alan Thompson
    Yours is 15800 mine is 1600 Yours is well after the faulty batch of components
  22. Alan Thompson
    If that means yours was the 15851st to be built mine was 1637th Don't know if that's what you meant?
  23. Alan Thompson
    Just to add - my car was built jan/feb 22 so I suspect that only a relatively small number of cars are affected?

    Just got a letter today about Recall Campaign YGG27 DC-DC Converter Replacement. Letter states (I precis): converter needed to reduce voltage from HV Battery to charge the 12v battery. It's possible the current rectifying module on the circuit board was damaged in production could fail causing a short circuit. Lower down the letter it states in Capitals: 'IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT PLUG YOUR VEHICLE IN TO CHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 5 DEGREES CELSIUS' Lexus Leeds say likely to take up to 2 hours (although I think this is just a finger in the air statement as it's not listed yet on their computer). But can't fit me in until early October. So, a bit of jeopardy - will the temp drop to 5 degrees before I get it rectified? Will I be able to recharge for fuel used because I couldn't charge the battery? I guess thjs is more likely to affect Ken R and his friends in Bonny Scotland than me in the balmy climes of West Yorkshire 😂

    Tonight 58.8/58.2 - that's the highest with a/c figure I've had. It's all immaterial as the actual figures seem quite erratic - I achieved 42 against yesterday's guess of 57. It seems like the last 15 miles or so predicted range can be wildly inaccurate - I lost 6 miles prediction against 2 miles driven - most up a steep hill to be fair.
