Hi Rizzo,

How you doing?

Jfane:

We still have the very thirsty toyota........i do love it though.

It does tow very well apart from it's drink problem  

Next week we are taking our van down to a favourite site in Dorset and leaving it there til october......we are renting it out to friends and family...hoping to get some of the payment back.

I will get hubby to give you some more info on it later.

OMG, that got her out of the woodwork!!

Good to hear from you, we are all fine thanks

Overheating is a regular problem with the Estima, due in part to the water coolant system layout and the smallish, badly located radiator. Any overheat will do damage to the cylinder head and it's a nightmare to access, as is anything on the engine at all. Alternators don't last long, nor do the wheel bearings, and the auto box is poor when towing and an oil cooler is essential, but expensive! Insurance? Well, I'd sit down when you're getting quotes!!!!!

And they don't handle all that well with a caravan hooked up, IFyou can find a towbar!
