Very nice and clean and what a great car to sit in traffic in.

The Lexus website is saying delivery’s for an order placed now is delivered Q2 2024. I think the chip problem has not gone away so the delays in delivering will carry on well into 2024. The NX MY24 is also called “phase 2” and from March is year all NXs begin built are MY24.

Halfords sell sets from £20.

Thank you all for your input, I will be calling my dealer today so I can to pay more money or try and get it add free due to the delays. I think I know which way it will work out.

Thank you for that good point about possibilities of more delays.

Now this could be and probably is a silly question. As days move closer to my NX 450 turning up, I am thinking should I have added mudflaps to my order.

I think it’s smoke and mirrors. As some have said earlier they may not release them without locking nuts.

True we should be able to get a date more accurately. But the the world of just in time and world wide supply lines it is not going to happen. They should try and bring the supply side closer to the manufacturing bases.

Hopefully the word cancelling would help, but as we all have discussed where would go to get a car, could go second hand but they are overpriced.

On my old 2015 NX 350 parcel shelf rattled just had to make sure it’s pulled in at the back so it clinks in.

Yet again you have given me information about things I would never have thought of. Thank you.

I don’t know if this helps but it’s on the Lexus UK site.

Good luck, maybe it’s parked on the boat next to my 450.

Thanks for the lamp idea, who knew! Just looked it up on YouTube and as you say plug and play and it makes a big difference to lighting the boot area.

Hopefully my NX450 will be MY24 as that’s what the dealer told me. I will let you know at the end of June when I WILL or maybe not have my car.

I have just checked for my NX450 spec and for the first time I’ve found one that matches my full specification, but it has nearly 8000 miles on the clock and they want nearly £3000 more than I am due to pay in June. It is also missing my front and rear dash cams. If your contract is with Lexus , they should be able to be flexible.

That’s good news, hopefully about two months till you are driving a lovely new car.

Let’s hope so.

Interesting video and obvious conclusion, but with over a thousand chips per car one chip for a key fob seems a bit odd to not include it. Thank you for the info.

As I don’t have a life until my new car get here, I found an article about Toyota so here is what I think are the highlights . Dated earlier this year. “Delivery delays due to parts shortages are more serious for luxury cars that use many semiconductors. Lexus models use over 1,000, several hundred more than a typical Toyota car. There is a chip shortage for various applications including remote control keys for locking the vehicle and semiconductors for audio equipment.” And “Toyota has not disclosed the production volume of Lexus cars, but they are mainly made at domestic plants and the profit per vehicle is about 1.5 million yen. It is about twice as profitable as other Toyota brands such as the Corolla. The company will look to procure semiconductors under long-term contracts within the group to avoid further supply issues.” Here is the link if needed https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Toyota-limits-orders-for-Lexus-in-Japan-due-to-chip-shortage

That’s the corporate way it’s the same lack of service that we get everywhere today. It is sad that you can spend tens of thousands of pounds or should I say try and spend tens of thousands of pounds and get treated like you’ve gone into an old Woolworths store and try to buy pick and mix.

Sadly my dealer only read the memo after I called in to say that I would look at other car makers. Then he called me twice and no more. Still had to call them the other day and got an update. And it's 6 months later than I was told a year ago. Getting a bit bored, but just about looking forward getting it.

Had to called the dealership yesterday, as they sent me a message about my MOT and service contract. So my car is said to ready end of June. So I will be just over a year waiting.

Sorry sounds like the calipers pistons are out of alignment.
