Never worked on one. Done a few Bedford/Isuzu Midis and LDV/Nissan cubs/vannetes, and despite being mid-engined, its dooable as the access hatch is big enough or the entire seat box can be removed.

Just googled and found pic of previa access - oh dear looks like engine has to be dropped out from underneath, or dropped down onto axle stands/ blocks to get enough access to it.

Something tells me Toyota didn't quite think the design through very well with teh Previa Oh well, Espace is no better, and they go wrong a lot more often
