Are we talking V8 petrol or the new V8 diesel 200 series??Originally Posted by HSVRangie
If petrol I have not heard any bad reports about these and have driven a few. They are and I know its blasphemy a nice vehicle to drive, so much better than the diesel slug (100 series).
Have not heard of any popping engines down this way.
Cheers

I have heard of this too - read it on one of the 4x4 forums a month or so ago. But no further information - presumably Toyota fixed it up quickly and quietly to stop negative press from getting out. It'll be the single turbo V8 as employed in the old new 76 series 4 door wagon and the new Troopie, but not the twin turbo motor, as that is only just out in the 200 Series Cruiser.

I was told by a local cocky that the new V8 diesel is a converted petrol motor and that he knew some who'd had troubles.
(Please note: I cannot vouch for the veracity of this version of the motor's origins as I am not versed in the engineering aspects of such - 'Tis merely heresay I am more than happy to circulate)
