Prado / Hilux / Hiace death rattle
My first hand knowledge of the rattle is that it extends to all variants of vehicle that the engine is currently in.
Mine is a Dec 06 manufactured 2007 model Prado GXL.
Without telling the world what I do for a living, I can say that I work for the Govt and I am exposed daily to all three types of vehicles (D4D Prado GX, Hilux D4D twin cabs and the D4D Hiace vans.
It is about a 50 / 50 mix of rattlers to non rattlers, but they are all serviced by an outside source and as long as they run we dont care what type of noise they make.
Just a hint for everyone, dont purchase any cheap D4D Prado GX's that are white in colour from any auction place that sells govt vehicles as you could get a good lemon that has been passed on from us.
