Had a problem starting 2001 Prado for last 4 days but just thought it the 2degrees overnight at
Molong NSW. Getting worse so talked to mechanic friend in WA who thought glow plugs as Old Man probably hadn't changed in 14 years. Off to Coonabarabran Dunlop tyre service with diesel mechanic and 2 hours & $85 later it was MICE. Chewed the fuel pump line, letting in air!! Great blokes that found & fixed it. xxx

Hi Heather
You should have left the 'pets' ('
Pests?) back in Tassie instead of importing them into the mainland.
Agree with Pop though - good to see someone still uses a bit of nous to follow the basics when indentifying the fault. That was a relative inexpensive and prompt solution to your problem that could have been challenging for some.
Now you should be able to escape the colder climes and get back to a more hospitable environment - head north for the winter - as we hope to in a month or so.
Cheers - Phil & Jill
