    How does the 2-tank fuel system work

    My 120 diesel has 2 x 90 litre tanks. Can someone explain how the filling system works?! It seems to have a simple Y piece linking both tanks to the filler. Does it somehow prioritize the front tank when filling? Is it a simple gravity system so the rear tank only gets fuel when the fill line...

    What happens to this diesel engine if the timing belt fails? Does it instantly destroy itself, or is it a non-interference engine ?

    Hi from a new member

    Hi All I have owned and largely self-maintained a Prado 120R from new. We are both now getting a bit old and rattly, but it's used every day on a mix of tarmac and very rough, rocky roads. I joined here to look for some advice on a whole new set of drive-train noises from the car.

    Front propshaft transmission noises?

    Hi All In addiiton to all the cheerful body rattles, I have started hearing worrying new noises from the transmission on my "KZJ120R" Prado. On take-up, when I lift the clutch, I hear a distinct knock. If I let it roll in neutral I sometimes hear a rapid clicking. Occasionally, if I get into...
