Thanks for that, I do all the transmission fluids etc every about 20K I think that is what the manual suggests. I've not done any of the wheel bearings since I've had it, about 40K, so they must be due though it was a "mums taxi" before I got it and was dealer serviced. Is doing the bearings a big job?
Neither of my manuals mention the timing chain and I believe you don't need to change them like you do belts, perhaps best ring a toyota garage and check to be on the safe side.

Thanks for you input,

Chris

It's not a technically difficult job but it is a time consuming one if you do the whole lot rather than just the ones that are easy to get at. Also you need a few special tools to be able to do it. Those manuals you have specify what you need. The cost of the tools is soon recouped. If you get it done by a mechanic it costs an arm and a leg because of the time and, unless you know you can trust them, you can never be sure they've done it thoroughly. I actually enjoy doing it but as I said it takes ages. Also it's a very messy job.
