Anybody had this problem.

Fanbelt snapped on Saturday evening, Mitsi assist took me home :) while waiting for pick up I did some investigation into why it snapped and found the tensioner had seized, going to get it taken to dealer tomorrow (bank holiday today) should be a warranty job I hope.

Nah, we don't get issues like that will the proper 'big block' 3.2 DiD being fitted to all ours. All that sorta stuff is reserved for the 'rubberband' that powers yours.....

;) ;)
Tip # 1 - Avoid stress & grief & low resale values with vehicles - do it once - do it right, buy a HILUX!!

On 'paper' - 120kw. If you used the same dyno Toyota does, probably around 130kw......
