  1. Oooh believe me it has been back. About 40 times, they have replaced the injector pump, still stopped and just recently the fuel rail about two weeks ago. As the problem is intermittent I'm still waiting to see the outcome of this fix. But with the fuel economy there seems to be a big difference between the SR5 auto and the SR manual. In all of the toyota specs and advertising they are supposed to be the same. But in reality the manual uses about 50% more fuel. Either toyota have got there sums very wrong or they are deliberately misleading anyone that buys an SR manual! That's why I want to get more figures to find out what the real story on fuel consumption is. What is your fuel economy? I have a SR Diesel manual (less than 5,000km) and I am only getting ~9 km/liter (or 11.1 l/100km). They advertise 12 km/liter. I have steel tray, and bull bar, which would have some effect, but not much. I drive very conservatively, as I am keen to monitor fuel consumption. I have heard that the mileage improves as the engine wears-in, but not sure how many kms, or extent of improvement. My first chat with the dealer was that the mileage will improve with kms, but things have stabilised since about 2,000 kms.
