Thanks for the reply Midge,just out of curiosity Iam running 265/70/17 ATRcooper light truck, at 100kys my tacko shows 1800rpm, if you have standard tyres what revs are you doing at 100kys thanking you Friar.

do those of you with GPS's have much difference between the GPS and the speedo? mine is out by a couple of k's which is not too bad... shows around 103 when GPS says 100...

but every car i've driven with the GPS are out... only car that i've driven where the two match up is commodores from the vx on..

All of mine = GPS readings, even my work 4x4 Van with 35's on it ??? (I wonder what the hell it was reading before the tyres!)...
I have standard tyre size (65) on the Prado,

Have ordered a Prado (3l Diesel) and am not sure at this stage as to when it will be delivered.
Am mechanically challenged, in fact hopeless, so have been reading with interest the many posts on forum.
Have already seen the problems with windows once battery disconnected, and that was something that will save my blood pressure.
Out of interest had an 80 series L/C (94) previously fitted with120amp AGM in back of vehicle .
Am retired and enjoy caravanning , and fishing .
Have an Excel spreadsheet for Fuel Consumption and will post it here,if there is any way I can do this.
Can't wait for the new Prado and look forward to membership of forum.
