Its 2 belts on the KV6....  ....and access is very tight.

Two belts plus a little diddy one ;D

Must resist sarcasm, must restist, diddy one, two belts...............must resist  ;D

Before you get sacastic, work out how to spell resist ;D

Note to self - always read posts before sending.... or the guy who holds his pants up with two belts, to protect his diddly one, will notice.  [smiley=evil.gif]

...and the spark plugs replacement on my Previa is an engine-out job  :(

...and the engine can only be removed from underneath the car, so no way this is a DIY job   :'(

Luckily they are good for 63,000 miles  :)

I could buy a nice Elite for that... to include a new timing belt kit which I could fit in an hour ;D

Seriously, apreciate the complexity of this job, and that your lady loves the car...

But In my opinion, maintenance bills like that mean the car's not economical to keep ;D

It's because of people like you that this country is in the state it is. You ought to be ashamed of youself. Next you'll be telling me that you dont declare every penny you take in your cab.
