Also check your suspension bushes, your front panhard rod bushes might be worn. I have had this in the past with my Prado.

Also does your Prado have the electric shocks, these work OK if they are in good condition, however if they are stuffed I'd replace them.

These aren't a bad truck overall.

Cheers Calvin will look into that, would rather repair my current pump thant buy a new one but will hold onto that info thanks Smurf

I finally found the fuel leak. Looks as though it is coming from the small cover on the bottom of the pump, have indicated it in the photo. My next question is does anyone know what is behing this cover ie just a access port or if I open it will springs and other bits come firing out?? http://img44 ...

Hi I have a LJ78 with a 2LT-e and it has developed a fuel leak which I suspect is the fuel pump. I have done a search through the forum but could not find a lot of info. The truck has just done 200K so I am assuming that one of the seals have gone, the reason I suspect this is because if I don't ...

Sorry I forgot to say it has manual hubs.

Hi All

Recently my 91 Prado has started making noises from the front end when doing over 50 km/h, the problem is intermittant and seems to stop when I put the hubs in 4x4.

Any ideas as I would like to get it sorted instead of having to drive around with the hubs in all of the time.


Cheers guys!

Sweet thanks guys, guess I will be heading into Parrots. Thanks!

I have just bought myself a Autometer oil pressure gauge and sender from Ripco. However I can't get the bloody sender in, the thread on the new sender is 1/8 and matching them up it looks as though they are the same thread the original sender is just tappered. Any ideas on how to get the new one in ...

I have always has low oil pressure according to my factory gauge and tonight I decided to check it out. I hooked up a aftermarket gauge and couldn't get any reading so removed it and put the terminals for the factory gauge back on. I started the engine and the gauge was sitting right at the top ...

I'd say he's dicking you around Pete plus like anything second hand its buyer beware. Has he sent you any pics of the engine to show its actually got the problems he says it does... For all you know his wife could have pulled the handbrake on and he wants to get some money back to keep her happy haha

I've decided to sell my Prado as its not being used anymore and I need the space. Any questions please just email or txt me.

Ok my Prado has started making noises in the front end while in 2wd, it stops when the truck is in 4wd. It also gets hard to turn sometimes. Can anyone help me figure out whats going on. Could it be a stuffed CV or buggered hub as its got manual hubs on it.

Cheers guys

I've decided to sell my 91 LWB Prado as im wanting to get something different. 1991 LWB Toyota Prado 2.4 Turbo Diesel Automatic 7 Seater Front and rear tow hooks Towbar Narva Spot lights 33" Mud tyres on 15x8 white rims (Also includes new spare 5th rim) Set of new road tyres on standard prado rims ...

So far just looks like you an me Philux. Prado is all sorted now. Will have to take a few more pics this year.

Yeah was a awesome day and good to meet up with so many people. Have to take my hat off to Mike, Chopper and jase for getting the Landy going, alot of hard work and beer went into it. I too would have liked to seen a vid of kaney rolling but even better would have been the vid of him setting fire to ...

Id go with a suspension lift rather than a body lift as body lifts need to be certed. Plus suspension lift will give you better flex, if possible get some adjustable shocks so you can soften them up when driving offroad and stiffen them up when on the road, that way you don't loose much of your on ...

He's the kind of guy you dont give a ride home after having a curry.

Did you get any check engine lights or dash lights come up as you went through the water. My truck would do a similar thing when fording rivers/streams when the water was quite high up. Would be the buzzer the sounds when you leave glow plugs warming to long.

Whas a good trip, I really need to hurry up and get a snorkle . Thanks to Mike for leading and showing us some wicked river crossings and soft shingle traps. Hope both Philux and Jezza get your transmissions fixed and that your truck dries out ok Jezza. I only managed to get a couple of pics as it ...

Sweet guys, will wait until Al get back to me but at this stage we are looking at meeting by the Rangiora bridge at 7.30 and will set off at 7.45

I cant do 7 as I dont finish work till 6 and it would be 7 by the time i got home. Could probably make it there by 7.30 and if we set off at 7.45, i dont mind making it earlier after all 4wding is a family sport.

If you are happy with 7.30 Al thats fine with me.

Trip Details

Friday 18th April
Meet at Rangiora bridge on the Ashley River
7.30pm depart 7.45pm

Tow hooks required
Snorkle shouldnt be required as we will work around any deep parts.


Post or txt me on 0274124836 if you are keen. We will be on channel 19 for those of your with Radios.

Thanks Al, have taken this into account and changed the plans.

Not trying to put a damper on things, but theres a sign on the north side saying gates locked at 7pm with daylight saving. I would assume that would apply to the south side also. Thanks but I am aware of this. The north side has an entrance that is not secured so will allows us to get to the play ...

Sweet i'll see if I can round up a few people and get a small group together.
