First - I typoed the Subject - the vehicle is of course an Amazon Land Cruiser VX 4.2 TDi, Auto, 100 Series. I will take it out for a spin and listen carefully. It is more noticeble when the engine warms up. It passed it's MOT last week, so I would assume that any exhuast issues would have...

Thanks for your suggestions so far. I have been carefully listening to the noise over the last couple of days, and I can say that that it appears to be more noisy under engine load. If I am gentle on the accelerator, it is hardly noticeable, but if I if I give it more acclerator it becomes...

I would say that the primary factor is throttle, and then resultant road speed. If the car is in neutral and I rev the engine, the noise is not there. Once the car is moving, and I take my foot off the throttle, the noise slows, independant of road speed. Thanks.

I am in East Yorkshire, UK. I will sort out a sig line - only just joined the forum. Thanks.

Thanks Jon and everyone for your warm welcome. No, I would think one owner 1998 100's are somewhat of a rarity. Mine will remain one owner - it isn't going anywhere :)

Hi, I am looking for a rear bumper and drivers side door, in Silver Pearl, for my 1998 Amazon VX 4.2TD. Thanks.

Hi, Just wanted to introduce myself. I purchased from new one of the first 7 Land Cruiser Amazon VX 4.2TD in the UK in early 1998. I believe Chris Tarrant had one of the others :) It was so new to the UK that the local dealer had to order by fax since it was not on the Toyota ordering system...
