Hi All,
Great forum. Have spent weeks on here doing research and reading what everyone has been saying. Very interesting and have learnt heaps.
Anyway, this has made me decide that I now want a Prado and I think I have found the one I want but still do have a few questions. This will be my first Prado. Have also thought about getting a brand new one on Toyota Access scheme.
The one I am also currently look at is a 2010 GXL diesel with 144k on the clock. Current advertised price is 36k (They have dropped the price by 3k in the last 3 weeks). Have test driven it twice now and every seems to be ok but I guess my biggest concern is how do I check if the injectors have been changed without plugging something in and checking the settings etc? I couldn't find anything related to the injectors when I went through the service records. Also if I do need to get the injectors replace, roughly how much will it cost? I think I read somewhere about $3k??
Other concerns will be the following:
1. When the car has stopped at the lights, I do notice the top of the bonnet (portion closest to the windscreen) shakes/vibrates quite a bit. Is this normal.
2. Did notice a squeak/rattle coming from the back. I did see the post about the rattles and what everyone has found so will investigate a bit more to see what it is.
Thanks Heaps
