Petrol FX cars need servicing every 9000 miles or 12 months. If my memory is correct the car should have been serviced in May based upon time, it is still yet to have a service so it's nearly 5 months overdue, hence the warranty problem.

Thanks for the update on the remap and exhaust, did they mention what kind of reliability problems they had experienced?

Do they have a white FX there with the exhaust fitted?

Yes that's the one. I will have a listen to it whilst waiting for mine to be serviced next month.

Thanks wookitaff. The price fitted doesn't sound too bad. I wondered if an exhaust fabrication company could play around with the factory system and liberate some noise for a fair bit less?

I would be interested to hear about updating the navigation and speed camera location. I should imagine Infiniti like most manufactures want £300 plus for a 2013 update.

My wife really likes the FX. Having showed her a G37 at the weekend I think we might become a 2 Infiniti car family early next year replacing her Saab Aero Cab with a G37 convertible.

The Nav update for £99 is very reasonable. I will get this done at the next service, thanks for the heads up!

Andy, firstly glad to hear you are up and about, sounds like you had a good day yesterday, there is nothing like the anticipation of picking up a new car together with a bit of a journey to bring it home!

Congratulations the car sounds like a good one and very reasonably priced.

So what was the interesting conversation you had with the salesman then?

Sold 27 in a week? I think they are struggling to sell that many in a month across all the dealer network!

I am going to see if Reading will lend me a G37 when I drop off the FX for its service and warranty inspection. We need to change my wife's Saab early next year and the G37 cab looks like a lot of car for the money !

DSLivetpool, which car are you interested in?

Have to agree with Boshly, 20mpg is very achievable, they really are nice to drive and surprisingly quick.

Since I started this thread three of us here have bought an FX50, hopefully there should now be a pool of information to share about these rare cars to help with ownership in the future.

Go on, buy it, you know it makes sense!!

There is no factory backed extended warranty scheme.

Reading offer an extended warranty via Autoprotect. There is a Pre Warranty inspection required which is circa £300 iirc, they will waive the inspection cost if your car is due a service.

Have you seen the cheap silver FX37 that's on Autotrader?

Wookietaff, have you been to Reading for the warranty inspection and navigation update yet? If so how did you get on?

Thanks, glad you are still enjoying the car. An update on the service received would be helpful. Did Reading make a charge to collect and deliver? Did they offer a courtesy car? I was hopIng they might lend us a G37 for a couple of days to try out..
I just got the car back after a wheel refurb, it looks so much sharper now. Just need service, warranty and nav update and hopefully the car should be up to scratch for the next year or so.

Thanks again. My warranty expires on the 4th February, the car is due a service in 600 miles so will prob try and stretch it out to booking it in early January as the Pre warranty inspection needs to be carried out no more than 2 weeks before issuing the new Reading endorsed warranty policy.

The only non winter tyre available to fit in the standard size is a Dunlop, these are very hard to get hold of at the moment and well over £300 a corner.

If you go up a size to a 275 you will have more choice and cheaper tyres but you will probably need to talk to your insurers first.

Thanks for the update.

Booked mine in for early January. It is due a service, Nav update, 4 wheel alignment ,warranty work and warranty check ready for the extended Warranty.

They are collecting and delivering back FOC and I have blagged a loan of a G37 for the wife to try for a few days.
