Hi, the EGR valve is not cleaned as part of the major / interim service or MOT. Lexus will clean it if asked, however, there is a how to here if you want to DIY. Alternatively take it to a trusted independent garage, shouldnt cost you a lot.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the replies, i have since this post read up on the EGR DIY clean, may take it to a local independant and bung em £20 or something, i know the garages round here quite well.
MPG seems to be hovering above the 30mpg mark for now, even saw 39mpg yesterday going coventry.
Other than that though the car seems fine.
Ive seen others attribute serious turbo lag with EGR issues and no power below 2000rpm etc. I dont seem to have this, power is plentiful from just over 1000rpm.
Will keep plugging away, get the EGR cleaned and go from their.
Not expecting miracles, nor miracle MPG cus it is a 2.2 after all, but would like to be in touching distance of the qouted figures lol
