Kwak my brother is a mechnic in a Toyota dealer. What age Avensis are you looking at ? I'll give him a shout and ask him for specifics if you like.

I remember he said that they'd had a lot of engine problems on one particular model Avensis. I think it was the petrol one though. Rattly top ends, using lots of oil and blown bottom ends.

Aye course I can no trouble. He has a Corolla with that engine in. He wouldnt have bought one if they were any trouble.

I'll give him a bell over the weekend I take it that its the latest new shape one you are looking at ?
