As a driver from the United States, and in particular, from Northern California, I was in Scotland last October, and drove over 1000 miles. I found Scottish drivers to be very polite, and generally observed the speed limit.

[@ruthaisling]

I’m glad you had a nice experience driving in Scotland!

Just found your channel im only 3 videos in, but so far this one is my fav. Love it. Go Ernie!!! And Ruth!! ❤

What a lovely woman & a fantastic channel. Thank you Ruth. Best wishes in all future adventures🙌👌❤️

[@ruthaisling]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it 😊

[@Chris-be1fo]

Hi Ruth. This is very important; for a 2001 Toyota Hiace, the timing belt must be changed every 93,000 miles. It’s expensive, but if the timing belt breaks or comes off, serious engine damage can occur. Diesel engines have a timing belt. It’s made of some kind of rubber. it keeps the camshaft and crankshaft in time with each other. If they go out of sync, the piston comes to the top of the cylinder before the valve is fully closed. Expensive damage will occur.

[@dumfriesgalloway7499]

Definitely correct. I would however check if it actually is a rubber belt. Some HiAces' actually have a chain timing belt. So check first

[@Chris-be1fo]

@@dumfriesgalloway7499 The petrol Hiaces have a chain. Diesels are a belt.

[@havegrillwilltravel3043]

Yes Ruth, this is super important. I forgot to have the timing belt changed on my VW years ago and when it broke it completely destroyed my engine while I was driving 60 miles an hour on the highway. Very scary. Best to get it done soon.

[@ruthaisling]

Thank you for letting me know! The cam belt was changed at 90k, 2000 miles previously, so I hope it will be ok!

[@joloy5394]

I was going to add that Chris, I owned a Mazda Bongo, great van many happy memories.

Hi Ruth, not sure if you know that you have to glow your engine first before starting. Key in first position wait for the light goes out then start.

[@ruthaisling]

I didn't know, thanks for telling me!

[@VincentComet-l8e]

It’s exciting, driving a new diesel vehicle - I’m experiencing the same with mine. But the technique for driving one is very different to a petrol vehicle. You need to pay attention to the rev-counter and drive it on the torque curve, rather than by the road speed. Diesels are renowned for their strong low-down torque, typically delivering their maximum in the 1750 - 2500 rpm range (though yours may differ?) and you should aim to drive within that band most of the time. This provides the best pulling power and also gives maximum mpg, by avoiding (unnecessary) high revs.

[@wallydug2256]

I enjoyed watching your Shetland video, beautiful island, you were saying about the vent for the gas, I think that should be down below as the gas is heavier than air and this allows the gas to dissipate outside.

[@ruthaisling]

Thanks for the advice!

[@ryudokuroma8184]

Annie did her best on the tough hills. Annie reminds me of "Annie Laurie" and the rolling meadows that are typical of England were very beautiful. This type of Hiace is used as an ambulance in Japan and has a spacious interior, so it will be a good partner for Ruth.🥰

[@adrianmontelongo9707]

The pot hole issue in Scotland is a total bugger, our harsh climate always destroys the tar. Rain, snow and cold temps in winter. The cheap fixes neverp last long. Loving all your vids, just working my way through them all.

I change my own oil using a Pump that goes down the Dip Sick line. The filter is easy in my Jaguar XE diesel as it is up on top and not underneath. the oil ( All Synthetic costs me about $40 and the filter about $10. I like to change the Oil every 4-5K miles

[@okuyamad7039]

I’m so glad to see your active smile😊again Ruth Your explanations about driving Ernie (changing gear or something like that) reminds me when I was beginner driver It was so much fun to driving even though the car was not so powerful❤

Carrying out an oil and filter change is fairly easy and only requires basic tools, plus it only costs the price of the materials. There are good tutorials on line...it will save you a lot of money.

[@ruthaisling]

オイル交換の体験談をお寄せいただき、ありがとうございます。

[@nigellingo4349]

That wasn't the cambelt you pointed the camera at. However you might want to find out when it was last done. If that snaps it's an engine rebuild or new engine best to get the water pump changed while the cambelt is being done. I know these vans very well as Ive lived in my LWB hiace for the last 5 years. It has exactly the same engine as yours the 2.4 non turbo 2L. Hope you love it as much as I do😊

[@ruthaisling]

The cam belt was changed at 90k miles so about 2000 miles previously! Thanks for the info, very useful to know!

The day after I passed my test, I had to drive a Ford Transit LWB Hi-Roof, with the back part sealed off so no central mirror, just wings. It was a little terrifying at first, but I soon got used to it. I'm sure you got to grips with Ernie pretty quickly. :)

The characteristics of a diesel engine are quite different from petrol. They are made for power at low engine revs. Once you get used to it you’ll understand. They run out of puff on gradients and you’ll need to change to a lower gear. Good luck diesel engines are made to last a long, long time.

[@noeleivan1]

Pay attention to the water temperature, and what to do when the fuel runs out.

[@ruthaisling]

Good advice, thanks!

[@LeeYoung-x7r]

Don’t ever run out of fuel in a diesel.

[@joloy5394]

Great to see you on your own KZbin Ruth. Find a mate that can do an oil change or learn how to do one. That is pricy, that said I don't know what the price is for a filter for a Hiace. x

Ruth, I think your garage may be ripping you off! That is a lot of money for an oil change and the change interval would normally be far higher than 6000 miles. I would change it at 12,000 miles minimum. It is easy to do yourself!

[@ruthaisling]

Yeah it seemed a lot. I must watch a KZbin video someday to learn how to do it myself

That was very expensive for an oil change. Would shop around next time and ensure decent products are used. Engine will be noisy as you are say right next to it.

Diesel engines are more expensive to service than petrol.

@@Chris-be1fo if all they did was oil and filter change there will be very little difference between the cost of the items involved..

@@xboxcrazee They always charge more to work on a diesel. That’s just the way it is.. I’ve had petrol and diesels. As soon as my current diesel van came out of warranty, i started doing the servicing myself. I do a better job. They don’t do half what they tick off on the service sheet anyway.

Hi Ruth. Love your channel. Don't feel bad about the cost of your oil change. The garage may have used a Flushing oil, before the Toyota spec. Oil. This means double the labour charge plus the cost of the Flushing oil. But, Ernie says 'thank you'. Garage advice is sound. Oil and filter change every year, or 6000miles whichever comes sooner.
