PRADO 98-03 - do you know about them??

ohyeah,
Best advice I can think of is go to Pradopoint web site there you will find a mountain of information.
Web site www.pradopoint.com/

Have fun surfing,
Fazz.

Rack and pinion steering and what we are finding up here is with oversize tyres and corrugations the racks are destroying themselves. The last one a few weeks ago parts were ex japan and took us two weeks road freight to find and get one. punches a big hole in the middle of four weeks annual leave.

Have a look at these websites

There might be some info there for you.

Had one for about 2/3 months now. VX Grande V6 3.4L V6 Auto. Now Ive come from a 2.8 hilux so anything comfort wise and power wise is a huge improvement. The main thing I can comment on so far is fuel usage. Around 14/15L per 100 around town and 12.8 Towing camper and 12.2 without. Havnt taken off road yet due to get new OME suspension fitted so will give it a good try out then. Other then that love it. Yes huge amount of accesories are available including rear diff lock. I've only had one issue which is a thumping noise on take off but waiting till OME goes in to make sure its not a shockie then if still there will try a few things that were sugested on here. Top Vehicle how good off road compared to hilux I dont know but I think the hilux had more wheel travel but I will find out. As far as the diesel goes there seems to be some issues of late with blown head gaskets but cant say wether its a common thing or not but seems to be a few reporting it lately with just over the 100k mark. Regards Steve M

thanks for the info

cheers
