New Owner Question

[Blackstrat]

Hi All,

I've just bought a 2002 2.00 GX Petrol Rav - 4 (62k miles) and very nice it is too :-)

Would I be correct in assuming this vehicle has a timing chain and not a Timing belt, and therefore does not need to be changed?

Many thanks,

Al

[Joylove]

Yep it's a chain.

I have no idea about the 2002 model Alan, but welcome to the madhouse that is TOC

I'd hide those guitars if I were you or you may be getting an unscheduled visit from a certain Glaswegian member..........

Taylor 355? Is that a 12 string? .....I've got a few guitars but no 12 string.You've got me thinking now ;-) My acoustic of choice is a Martin 000-1.
