[Gary Stockton]

Yep Turbo Diesel Automatic

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

I thought the A was for the suspension ?

I still don't follow.....

For example.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-La...9028534?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c6db34e36

is listed as a TDA. yet is manual.

Maybe "A" is for suspension? like Jon said?

As far as I can see it's a VX as there's no other badge. IMO the TDA is an abbreviation wrongly used by the seller if it's a manual.

"A" is for asthma and refers to a Turbo Diesel engine thats out of puff or not going to last long.....don't touch it Joking aside, probably a typo. But saying that on the chassis plate of vehicles mainly nearer the end of all the letters and numbers. There is a letter that applies to which country the vehicle is from/registered/or manufactured for. In this case "A" should be the US of A. www.landcruiserparts.co.uk (under which model)

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

it's a manual and it has AHC, maybe I was right and A is for Active [suspension]

 

[Craig Yeoman]

Aaaah! me just looked at ad and it's a righty not a lefty. But could have changed the dash and stearing over.....nah what a faff and palava to do that. But then thinking (dangeroos at times) Turbo engine Diesel/ Autogas. No mention in the ad that there was a lpg/autogas conversion. I still think it's a typo.

I am not interested in buying it.

I was just puzzled at the "TDA"

I think Jon is right, and it means Turbo Diesel Active = TDA.
