Hi to be quite frank, i had to get the financial ombidsman involved and also said i would seek legal advice on the matter as like yourself lexus denied ever having these issues,but now being a proud owner of a lexus isf im really happy now lol

Hi this is only my personal experiance, but i would avoid the 220d... i have had a load of problems when i once owned one, lexus make great cars but the diesel car is crap,here is just a few of the problems i had to deal with.. 1.new turbo 2.new egr valve (replaced 5 times) 3.new cat converter 4.new 5th injecter 5.new common rail 6.new gear linkage 7.new steering rack 8.new brakes (done 4 times) I won't go on anymore as some people do have good lexus diesels on here, but the one i had was utter ******* and would never buy a lexus diesel again the only thing i can reccomend is to get one which has a full dealer service history and is covered by a good comprehensive warranty ( because you will need it at some point) DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET RID OF THE DIESEL VERSION AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE,THESE CARS ARE A ABSOLOUTE NIGHTMARE THE PETROL VERSIONS ARE FAR BETTER AND GIVE JUST AS GOOD FUEL ECONOMY

LOL - Excellent! what did you hit, or what hit you lol

No do not live with it, my wife has a 2006 is 220d se and we have had numerous problems with the car. And have had 3 new egr valves, 3 ecu upgrades,3 new cat convertors, new injectors,and last of all a new TURBO, the car does run better now with not much lag at all, also is the car a is220d,or is 220d se, as the gearing is slightly diferent on the base model,my wife's car is now being reviewed by the financial ombudsman as lexus will not admit that they have serious problems with this car!!!!!
