Whilst Toyota in Australia, charge you an arm and a leg for service manuals, there is an easy way around it.
Toyota Europe have a on line service you can access for a small fee.
Do a google search on Toyota GB, and walk around the screens, and you will a reference to service manuals. You can do a search to see if your unit is listed. Be carefull with the Prado as it is known as a Landcruiser, and the landcruiser as we know it is a Amazon.
After you have established what you want is there, checking say the Prado, I found that it did cover and specifically mention the Australian models.
You will need to pay a small fee, dependant on how long you want to look.
I successfully printed off all the info I needed in an hour, so a two hour session should allow you to print what you need.
Only need a visa or mastercard.
It has been my experience in the past, that you can buy OEM publications in the UK, for which the same company in Australia will decline.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Col

Thank you Col
However you only gave us half the story.
How about posting the URL/Link and then be in the Toyoto 100% club.

Lucy,
You have been stirring up the pink nissan mafia up so much lately and now your getting worried about them. If you were a real man like me, you'd stir them up and take the fallout on the chin.
Maybe you had better change your name to lucky. LOL
Better leave for your trip a day earlier too as KI has been blown just south of Tassie with all the winds we've had lately.
Have a good stirring week and keep putting up with them trolls.
I took him out on Sunday for a drive in some sandhills near here and one that we drive over in the Subarooo, he took 4 tries to get over. Talk about an overloaded piece of scrap steel!!!!!!!!!!

OK let me take you by the hand.
toyota.co.uk/
gets you there
Click on after sales
select on line repair manuals
Then at bottom of page register first
select car or truck required
Then it will come and give you the choice to subscribe
After you have flashed your visa it will take you to your choice of vehicle manuals.
NOW IF I HAD BEEN A NISSAN owner, I could not have made it easier.
Regards Col

Suggestion
Get a copy of Adpbe Acrobat
Print the files with Adobe and you will have them stored to your hard drive as PDF files.
Being a Nissan driver I thought you Toyota blokes could make use of any help you could get.

Thanks for
the tip.
In the manuals section our Landcruiser is listed as the Landcruiser Station Wagon.
If you use it it and so you don't waste time make sure:
You use Internet Explorer or Netscape. Firefox won't work.
You have Java Script, CCS loaded and allow popups.
Took me about 20 mins to sort out while the clock was running.
Acrobat Distiller works OK however there is a fair few pages to copy if you want the lot.
