Hi all finally convinced the wife to get rid of the commodore and get a turbo diesel prado 99/2000 model (series 2).We were looking at the 3.4 petrol but they are quoting 17/18L per 100 k so are going the diesel.Claimed 9/11L per 100k doubt that would be carrying a load presume thats 100klm hour driving with no 4wding involved and all highway driving could be wrong. Anyway what to look for, have been told about dash rattles but supposidly an easy fix, other than that havnt heard anything bad from any thing I'v read. Looked at the base RV on the weekend surprised to see it had abs an dual airbags, not worried about coloured bumpers and stuff as it will be fitted out with arb steel bar, brush bars, and steel side steps, snorkel etc, mind you the one we looked at had 146k on it but it's last service was at 50k has not had a service since not even an oil change looked under the oil cap full of sludge typical salesman ah that all right its diesel they run fore ever I sayed yeah will oil changes they do,anyway wont be touching that one, any major things I should be wary of would be appreciated. Regards Steve M
