Hello LRO & RRO’s I’m a Toyota loyalist who is looking to retire my tricked up 80 series and I’m seriously looking at a 2010 RRV L322 3.6 TDV8 with 155k (93 miles) - I’ve read a number of threads that speak about EGR dramas and turbo/ timing belt issues - this is a city car that I intend to use as a third vehicle in our family and I will use it in the bush but carefully because off road products are non existent for these cars.
Any pre purchase advice or things I need to be on top of please.

I know this will stir up some emotions on here, but under those parameters if I were you I'd stick with Toyota....  Pete

Me HAYLANDS that’s certainly gunna stir the pot that’s for sure. The 80 needs a full rebuild and I’m considering asking the insurance company to simply pay me out the 30+ and part my beloved out

We used FJ62s in Qatar & Bahrain, never an issue. Not much to look at and pretty sparse but superb air conn, dual tanks never, ever broke down. Even the 90s & 110s we had couldn't compare.

Still prefer my Westie though, I may be stuck at the side of the road, but doin it in style  Fuji White / Jet 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster

With the 3.6 the EGR valves are a real worry as if they fail they will destroy the turbo's and possibly worse also the gearbox (torque converter) is a weak point at higher mileages. If you can get the later 4.4 as it doesn't suffer from any catastrophic failure items and has a stronger gearbox + you don't have to worry about DPF's as they were not fitted in the Aussie market. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Thanks for the advice gents - I’ve got. A specialised LR RR service agent locally who has offered advice - I’m going to try and get the vehicle to him for pre purchase inspection. Has anyone got any comments to make about an EGR delete at 155 000 km / 93 000 miles - by way of tune / manual delete

The GAP IID diagnostic tool has a feature to buy a software EGR delete function. You can blank the intake ports to the engine physicaly as well but this won't turn them off and they can still fail with bits falling into the turbo's. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
