Olusegun Kolade Thanks for your good wishes re selling our IS200D F Sport, its advertised on this platform. I have sold the car once on ebay and again but then the buyer could not travel from Birmingham due to lock down. Its a bit inconvenient and we are waiting for the next opportunity !

Agree with your thoughts here given the unprecedented times we are living through. We are advertising our IS 200 F Sport, also Sorned, as we now have a new EV SUV, Better to control the costs than keep it on the road, We will be sad to see the IS go but needs must and hope that all our lives return to safety and normality soon. Go safe all.

I am selling my Lexus Is200D F Sport. 2011 and 83,800 miles, Lexus service history and in excellent condition. Its been covered by a Lexus extended warranty since I have owned if from Lexus Lincoln in June 2017, so no expense spared and all services have been carried out. A set of wheels replaced under warranty in 2018 by lexus ( Pristine refurbished) and generally a great car. Ok why the sale, I have reached that age where I need an SUV / UX and hence the sad decision to sell my beloved IS. Tyres all at 5mm, MOT till late May. Spec is typical F Sport, all the toys but NO sat nav. £5,500. Admin, if this is posted in the wrong section apologies.

There has been a lot written about the IS220D and I have owned one with some of the issues well quoted on this forum. I now own an IS200D F Sport and have had it for 30 months. I had a few minor issues when I purchased it from Lexus Lincoln but all were dealt with by the dealer and Lexus warranty. Its now covered 88K. I advise you to check the vehicle you intend to buy as you would any other,but in my experience the two models are very different. Fuel economy is not brilliant , low to mid 40's. There are still some 220-D hang overs, 6th gear is useless unless on the motorway, its far to long legged. But, on the whole my IS200-D F Sport has been a great and very reliable car. It drives really well, after all , "its a Lexus". Just my personal experience and I'm sure there will be a number of differing opinions. I'm going to upgrade my Lexus shortly and will be sad to see this one go and looking forward to my next Lexus.

I had an 2008 IS220D 69,000 miles, same issues as you have/are experiencing. Cleaned the EGR at each service interval and no worries for 3 years. Just as I made the decision to get a newer version the deaded light came on the dash and I had to have the DPF cleaned. I'm no expert but I hope it's just the EGR needing a clean but I enjoyed my 220D and sold it at 101,000. Not brilliant on fuel, had to unseize the callipers but in general it was a lovely car apart from 6th gear being to long legged ! Hope you find a low cost and or free solution. Cheers

Well I'm going to be completely contradictory to previous comments! I have had two IS220D, 98K approx on each, no issues other than regular service at Lexus and clean EGR valve from time to time. Yes could have been better designed by Lexus and the reworked version is far better. I now have an IS200D F sport, different car altogether, No issues, regular service at Lexus and two warranty claims in two years, Screen washer pump and door actuator. In think the 200 is a great improvement. Speak as you find, I love my 200D F-sport.

Many thanks for the replies, there is no noise from the screen pump and only a short burst of water and noise from the headlamp pump. As the fuse is intact its is, as you all suggest, time for a new pump. My IS is still under the Lexus warranty so when its in for its 80k service next week, at Lexus,they can fix it hopefully within the warranty , well I can hope, if not I shall be buying a pump and changing it myself. The diagrams and photos are very helpful. Thanks again for the replies, appreciated.

My IS200D F Sport has developed a fault in as much as the screen washer pump has failed I think. Checked the manual and the fuse is intact. The headlamp washers still function so I'm assuming that this has a seperate pump? Usual checks completed, reservoir is full of water, no blockages I can detect, anyone had the same issue before my Lexus dealer has a look ? Cheers

Lexus Customer Relations ref: CASE LR Lexus Customer Relations <cr@lexus.co.uk> Reply| Wed 25/07, 13:58 You I decided to ask Lexus how far they had progressed with WLTP testing protocols. Like all manufacturers they are well into the expensive and complex testing and submissions for real world emissions under far more stringent conditions than had to be met previously and not all these were harmonised reliably until now.. I had read some rather unreliable reports that older vehicles would be subject to retest and then their emission category changed and VEL rates increased. Whilst this was always unlikely Lexus response below confirms that this is not the case. There is a link below to an explanation of the new standards of the WLTP testing protocol. http://wltpfacts.eu/ Dear , Thank you for your e-mail. I can confirm that Lexus, in line with all other automotive manufacturers, will soon be required by law to test using the WLTP testing protocol over the previous testing protocol, NEDC. Lexus began testing, and certifying, under WLTP at the end of 2017, and will complete this transition shortly. There is no requirement to re-test vehicles previously tested and certified under the NEDC. For more information about how we are approaching WLTP, and how WLTP is different to NEDC, please see the following link: https://www.lexus.co.uk/wltp I hope this answers your question satisfactorily, and thank you for taking the time to get in touch.

I sent an email and got the response below after reading the comments so far. I was checking out the service history and then came across this thread. Seems that Lexus will be resolving soon I hope. Thanks to all for the previous comments and forgive me for jumping in at the tailend 🙂 Dear Thank you for your email regarding your online service history. I am sorry to read your comments and apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience caused by this, unfortunately we are experiencing some technical issue with the service history on MyLexus using a normal internet browser. You should still be able to view your service history using the MyLexus mobile app, you can download if from the app store on your mobile device and login using your normal MyLexus credentials. I apologise again for any inconvenience & thank you for contacting Lexus.

Great post this, whilst not relevant to my Lexus it did make me think again and Not buy from Ebay and get pugs for my wifes car from the Green Spark Plug Co and they are only a few pence more expensive that some other supplies that may be questionable! cheers all

Hi All, Joining this one a bit late but having had Lexus rebuild,under warranty, new discs,calipers and pads last year I am wondering what slider pin grease to use. I have read many reviews and there is a no clear winner. Having just rebuilt the calipers and fitted new sliders into the wife's car( not a Lexy) I used the clear silicon based pin lube that came with the FRENTECH kit . Any thoughts as I will be re lubricating the Lexus pins pre winter 2018. Appreciate the input.

I was at Lexus Lincoln last week. They offered me Two years Lexus extended warranty for the price of one. Seems like a plan, my warranty still has a year plus to go but they assured me it will simply be added on. With some of the costs of repair being expensive it's always a gamble as to taking this on. My recent claim for door lock actuators was over £300 so makes you think as does the previous comments regarding water pump!

Took my Car in for the Airbag recall and all good. Arrived at 08.00, loan car Ct200 Sport. Three and a half hours later all done. Valeted, safety check completed and 25l of fuel. Nice coffee and a cake in reception. I get home and all is well, no rattles after 35 mile drive. I also received an email from the service manager showing a video with audio report of the safety check being completed by the technician In all Lexus Lincoln you did a great job. Great brand Lexus
