The VSC, engine and traction engine lights usually mean a fault with the EGR system. Also, I have a Toyota with the same engine, and the problem with lack of pull was due to faulty diesel injectors. Once they go bad, they're really expensive to replace ( here it's like 700 EUR for a brand new one ( 1 piece! ), 200 eur for a used one). However, when this diesel is well maintained, it's one of the smoother ones, and has a very good amount of torque.

Had an '06 reg SEL with electric sun blinds, blue illuminating door steps, sunroof, full leather...was a lovely spec. It's only Achilles heal was that sodding diesel engine that let the rest of great car down. Drove one day on the motorway until it suddenly switched to creep mode, could only do about 20 mph max. After inspection it was a congealed EGR valve, replaced the EGR valve for £350 and it popped a load of injector seals! Got £4000 scrappage towards a new Mazda at the time. Lesson learnt, should have got an IS250 with the silky V6.

Hi Matt, fantastic videos - well done. Some background if you're interested: I worked as a slimy salesman when these were released. As you know, Lexus were very popular in the USA but were struggling to capitalise on the UK company car market as they didn't have a diesel option. Luckily, they were able to pinch the diesel lump from the Toyota Avensis (we weren't meant to mention this to customers). It was only offered in combination with a manual transmission which we were told to tell prospective customers was because the engine produced too much torque for the auto box to cope with. I suspect the real reason was actually emissions. Similarly, emissions were the reason that you need to be doing 80mph+ for 6th gear not to bog down. Which made for some interesting discussions with geriatric test drivers....

When you showed the ‘no dumping’ sign I really expected you to say, ‘tempting’.

Such a shame that the previous owner didn’t look after the vehicle. It was clearly worth investing a little in (even with a Diesel engine). Don’t think I’ve seen you look that disappointed in a sign off Matt! Commiserations indeed. Well done for finally showing it some love. 👍💯

So a few years ago, I sat in an IS250 of this vintage. Honest John said it was, at the time, the most reliable car you could buy. The seats are the best seats I have ever sat in. including many c and e class, Land Rovers BMW's and Volvos. But, yours seems like a bit of a knacker. Good luck.

I’ve had a few issues with the 250 but generally they’re pretty good

Back in the day I had the Lexus IS 200 the model before. At the beginning of the vlog you said the things i always say about that era of lexus 😂.

Don't panic Matt, I had one of these for 4 years and all that ever went wrong is the problem you're having with this one. Hoover out the egr valve, lots of vlogs on KZfaq and add a bottle of dpf fluid every 3 or 4 months and it will run forever. These are a great workhorse but need a blast down the motorway regular.

Yeah, for a manufacturer that made the legendary 1.4 D4D, the 2.2 is a bit..different; not so frugal, not so quiet and not so bulletproof.
