        Hehehe, does it show?

        I've spent a few hours today building a cross reference spreadsheet of service parts which I'll offer to Matt for his database when its complete.

        Just preparing the ground for the rush of RZN owners as those dirty, old fashioned, underpowered diesels blow off the last of their aging cylinder heads in the next few years.

            Got an original Toyota oil filter for £8 off eBay. Nae bad. What oil you been using Vince? I still get my GT4OC discount at Opie, so I was thinking of treating her to something decent.

                Seriously, what is better about the 2.7 petrol, don't think I've ever even seen one. Be intersting to watch what starts blowing on your petrol, could it be that they don;t have a rep for a particular fault only because there are not that many about?

                Cheers

                  Do a Google search for 3RZ-FE engines, I don't think we have anything to worry about.

                      Just winding up the diesel owners, thats all.

                      I've had both BTW, the petrol is 'nicer' by far.

                        Especially when,with regards to cylinders,you have eight of them.

                          I know the petrol engine is going to need work to make it waterproof, and isn't as torquey as the diesel low down, but on the up side, its quieter, smoother, more powerful, far more modern a design (doesn't necessarily make it better, granted) and seems more fuel efficient than the 3.0TD.

                            It's only the alternator that needs waterproofing (wading proof) It has COP ignition so no distributor junk to worry about.
