    You need to take it to your nearest Lexus dealer. I'm 99.9 % certain the 5th injector is dumping fuel into the exhaust.

    My guess is the maf sensor could be dirty. Apparently these are self cleaning but a quick spray with electrical cleaner can work wonders.

    Touched a nerve have we 😁 Like you said, if you can't take it don't give it. 😉

    And no annoying turbo lag with the barge either @peachy and drone like sounding engine. The 250 has a delightful sounding V6 engine that sings.
  5. Rebecca
    How can anybody say the 250 is a slow car? Several independent tests have proven this vehicle can hit 60 in as low as 7.1 seconds. Not bad for a car that was never designed to be a performance car. Sorry @doog442 but your modern twin scroll turbo charged Lexus is only slightly quicker than the 250. Only slightly better on fuel and quite frankly the engine sounds naff. Why have Lexus pulled the plug on the IS200T? because it's far to slow. People looking to buy a 4 pot turbo have performance in mind and the Lexus turbo simply does not deliver.

    What's even more laughable is you popping up like a jack in the box on this section posting comments to deliberately wind people up. Nothing better to do I guess.

    @Linas.P what costs £665.28 exactly? Are you referring to the whole wing mirror?

    Keeping your fob in a regular metal box such as a biscuit tin will do little to stop the signal. You need an aluminium tin or even wrap the fob in silver foil.

    Shame on you @doog442 😳 Totally unnecessary and uncalled for.

    Indeed I am a 250 diehard. I still have my F-sport which I use for my daily commute. The ISF only comes out to play at the weekends.
  11. Rebecca
    That's a bit rich coming from you. I believe you drive a RX450H don' you. Take a look at the performance figures for your 3.5 litre V6. Now your car really is slow.
  12. Rebecca
    It's a well known fact that Lexus understate the performance figures.
  13. Rebecca
    Totally disagree. The 250 is not slow. It has power. Ok I probably wouldn't want to race anybody in one but it can hardly be described as slow.
  14. Rebecca
    Actually @peachy your story is quite believable if the ST was the 2005-2008 model as this vehicle had 150bhp and a 0-60 time of 7.9 seconds. In this case the 250 would certainly keep up with the ST. However the later ST is turbocharged with more power and torque and would leave the 250 standing.
  15. Rebecca
    I think the fiesta ST reaches 60mph in 6.7 seconds so I doubt the is250 would match it to 60. Maybe he wasn't shifting up at the right time. But yes the Lexus is quicker than 8.4 seconds. About 7.5 tops.

    I've said it time and time again that the 250 without doubt runs better with super unleaded. It's noticebly smoother and more responsive. The transmission seems more eager to kickdown and I'm certain it releases a few extra ponies. On some occasions I've had no choice but to fill up with regular fuel and this is when the difference becomes apparent in a short space of time. It's no placebo effect. The 250 loves super.

    Hello and welcome to the forum. 😀 I'm currently on my third Lexus vehicle and would never consider purchasing any other brand. There is nothing like driving a Lexus 😙
  18. Rebecca
    Only ever used shell nitro on the 250. It has all the additives needed to keep the system clean and the added bonus of 99 Ron which the 250 seems to love. It really does perform better on high octane petrol in my opinion due to the engines high compression ratio.

    Hello and welcome to the forum Lovely colour Lexus you have there 😀
  20. Rebecca
    It's an amazing experience. I'm totally in awe 😀
  21. Rebecca
    Thanks 😊 I've put nearly 300 miles on the clock already. My grandad loves it. He's a Lexus enthusiast himself and currently owns a GS 450h.

    I picked the car up yesterday lunchtime. I'm absolutely delighted with it 😀 I can' keep out of it. Spent all yesterday afternoon driving around the brecon beacons. Drove up to welshpool today to visit my grandparents and show off my new Lexus. Will post some pics soon when I've cleaned all that welsh mud off.

    29, veterinary nurse. Have my own practice in Hereford. Will be the proud owner of my first ISF and third Lexus vehicle this weekend.
  24. Rebecca
    Thanks 😀 The previous owner Keith actually lives 5 minutes away from me in hereford and I've spoken to him on a couple of occasions. I had no idea the car was for sale until I read this thread. I gave him a call yesterday and went round to view the car and we did the deal 😀
  25. Rebecca
    I think you will find the car belongs to me now or at least it will Saturday afternoon. 😀
