  1. Yes, If he still has the Lexus Link app and has the vehicle linked to the app. Hopefully he will have deleted the vehicle from his app. You can 'break' the link from the car via the Settings Menu
  2. Biggest increase in thefts are Range Rovers and Lexus RXs. A lot of insurers will not insure Range Rovers in London. As for insurance, companies are no longer allowed to differentiate between new and existing customers. In effect existing customers were subsidising new business. What happens now is that as your policy renews the premium drifts upwards. I had a gap of 3 weeks between selling my old car and receiving the new, so I was going to cancel the insurance for those 3 weeks. My Broker advised me to maintain the existing policy, otherwise insuring the Lexus would be treated as new business.
  3. Sorry Graham I had a 540i BMW and had the seat belt buckle rattle from the front passenger seat. Took me a while to find it.
  4. Be careful! Insurers count it as a modification. If you don't tell them and have an accident...............?
  5. No such thing as cheap motoring these days. I came from a 3.0L BMW 5 series (0 to 60 4.9 seconds) to a 450NX+. The BMW was a lovely car, however when the 3 year warranty ended, independent warranties became more expensive and covered less. Lexus 10 year warranty, provided the car is serviced by them, was a major factor in my brand change. You know that you are getting old when the length of the warranty is more important then the 0 to 60 time!
  6. 2nd Key fob arrived at Dealers yesterday - car delivered Sept 23. Apparently locking wheel bolts were sent out to Dealers last week, so should be in stock. A timely phone call to your Dealer may prove fruitful
  7. I have had the same issue intermittently. I'm using a Hypervolt 3 charger. I find that double locking the car solves the issue
  8. NX450 delivered in Sept. Last week Dealer advised that Lexus had told them second fob was available, and they have ordered it for me. Didn't receive anything from Lexus. Dealer also advised that locking wheel bolts are being issued to Dealerships, so hopefully not too much longer
  9. My 2 month old NX 450 suffered a cracked radiator grill and spoiler after an encounter with a suicidal hawk. A Google Search for 'Lexus Bodyshop' linked to Lexus Accident Care on the Lexus UK website. https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/servicing-and-maintenance/accident-care. Benefits stated: Arrange Roadside Recovery - not needed Liaise with your insurer and handle on your behalf - No they don't! Their involvement ends once they have a sorted out a Lexus Approved Bodyshop. Arrange a replacement vehicle to keep you mobile while your Lexus is in for repair - No they don't! - Arrangement of a loan car is between You and Your Insurance Company / You and the Bodyshop I have raised a complaint with the third party that provides the 'service' as the page is misleading and am waiting for a response. I have also raised the issue with Lexus Customer Relations. Their initial response was that it was matter between me and the the third party company. I pointed out that the service was advertised as 'Lexus Accident Care' and that it was on their website which means that someone at Lexus had, at some stage signed off on it. I further stated that, at best, the webpage was misleading. I am waiting on responses which I will post on here>
  10. I have spinal injuries following an RTA. I had a BMW 5 Series with 18" rims because of the softer ride. My 450NX came with 20" Run Flats and the ride comfort is better than the BMW
  11. Have a look at the Thinkware U3000 - second Thinkware camera I have had. Includes speed camera warnings. Saved me points on many occasions
  12. Unfortunately, nothing on the underside of the black plastic trim.
  13. I've had the circular blanking plate off, and as Colin says the only thing behind it is a nut securing the black plastic trim. To be fair, I didn't pay much attention to the black plastic trim so I'll recheck
  14. Thank you Gary and Pete It would make sense if it was Takami only. However my car. like Pete's is a Y24 model. Photos attached - circular blanking plate on all four doors
  15. I'm with Harrier Man - I used to kick side to side and all I got was funny looks from passers-by. Kick forward at the centre of the car and it will beep once. Then step back and the tailgate will lift
