Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

I spotted FISHNUT on Albany Hwy Cannington this morning about 8:45am. Grabbed a pic, but can't get it off my phone at work.
Also bumped into Golly and had a quick chat last weekend.
Both Flinder's Red owners.

Hi Jase
I can confirm the Prado at that location at that time mate.
Had an early 80K service this week (pre trip) also had front discs machined and new pads fitted.

Mr FOXCLAN

Curious - what was the cost of the brake job :?: :?: :?:

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

Just before 3pm near "The Caves"(North of Rockhampton), a silver 120 with ARB bar heading North with what appeared to be a big-arse prado point sticker across the windscreen.

I was heading south, on my way to Brisbane for 2 weeks...actually sitting in cattle city motor inn rockhampton at the moment tapping away on the wireless!

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

Hi Babs
Was quoted about $220
Put on a bit of a song and dance about the cost of the service that they were doing at the same time, and was able to bring it down to under $200
The brake pads were reported to have had about 1-2mm of service left in them, and that they probably would be OK until next service.
Translate that into klm's? Water crossings, Mud, Bull dust,Towing a camper trailer & Wife's City driving. That is the unknown factor.
The disc's were in pretty good condition, but I will never replace pads without machining the discs.
Cheers Troy

Thanks Foxclan,

Mine is going in for the 60,000km service in the next few weeks - and I was going to get my brakes down also - so it is good to know

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

About 1.20pm Saturday 5 June I spotted a black 120 with ARB bar 'X N H' beginning of plate on Marion Rd Plympton crossing Anzac Hwy heading North.

I was waiting at the Highway Inn pub looking out at the traffic to see the Prado drive passed.

Who is this - I think this is the second time this has gone passed me?

Bev

I'll confirm that it was my rig although I couldn't say if it was me or the missus driving.
We were on our way to the airport, had a flight at 3pm - High voltage switching course in middlesbrough england to get to, in Brasil again now for another 4 weeks and back home again!

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

Spotted I think it was Thursday (24th) morning around 6:30am. Travelling inbound on Glen Eira Rd around Caulfield/Elsternwick.

Was a white 90 series. Diesel I think as I'm pretty sure the snorkel was on the passenger side. pradopoint sticker on the rear windscreen. Number plates QEQ xxx.

Whoever it was was driving behind me for a little bit so might have spotted my sticker? I've got a green 90.
