So I have inherited a 120 grande Deisel (family) and reading this forum I have really thought I should get rid of it. Serviced by our great friends at Mr T all its life and just had the injector seals replaced last year. Now has 140 k and I am pretty sure that the injectors were not replaced at 120k due to a family sickness. I would have heard about the cost if this was done.
So there must be thousands of these running without problems.....? I took a trip from Melbourne to BrokenHill return and it ran extremely well. I have done an oil change and thank goodness there was no crud on the pickup.
I have an 80 series Sahara T/D 5 speed manual with just on 200k. Needs a paint and a few other things but it is set up quite nicely.
Sounds like I have got it made but then there is the VT calais V8 nicely set up too.
i guess my point being is the Prado going to be a royal pain in the bum. I won't be able to help myself with an exhaust/lift/bull bar and winch etc and these are going to cause more problems. Is it worth the effort. I am getting on in years now and slowing down so I can't do much of the stuff anymore so will have to pay someone.
I don't think I will get rid of the 80 series or the Calais so I guess is the Prado worth all the worry?...????Cheers Brian
