02. 150k timing belt, 7500 service interval.good engines, look after the cooling system. dont hesitate to spend money each timing belt change to clean out/replace radiator, seals, tensioner, thermostat, coolant, etc, etc. will go well, except for the odd alternator every 200,000 LOL. Use shell rimula oil, low ash, (or i have changed to TOTAL rubia XT), genuine oil filters, and just drive her. can have issues with ball joints, and top arms with tight turning, but my first lot got done at over 600,00. hell, first clutch was done at 750000.

Agreed, but you don't realise these things when you don't drive anything else.
Even Toyota have admitted their vans are no longer competitive and have begun the shutdown of operations. We (and the Australian's) are apparently deluded enough to warrant the supply of the third world death trap edition for the time being. Don't expect a replacement though.
The Toyota Hiace for most other markets is now a Fiat with a Toyota badge on the front and eventually will be a re-badged Peugeot.
Enjoy it while it lasts Hiace drivers, safety regulations or lack of demand will shortly kill the Hiace here too.
