Firstly: Does this sound ok?

Secondly: Are the rear ...

ok i think that i will leave it where it is now what about when i have to change the oil in the box and t/case what do do there do as normal

so it is allright to have this i shouldn"t be looking to get the inner seal fix

how offten should the fuel filter be done

also gavin when you do your fuel fitler the 2.8 deisels are really hard to prime or pump new fuel through stick a air compresser hose in the petrol tank seal it then pump comes through so much easier.

definantly buy a workshop manual, the toyota one is the best ...
