Spray the switch with wd40 If there is clearance on the pedal, the switch may be stuck down. Just a thought. Cheers

I would not let the price of fuel or road tolls spoil your choice of holiday. holidays are way too important !! You can google fuel prices if you need a really accurate budget. But as a rule of thumb try and avoid motorway fuel stations in any country and you will be fine. The alps is great...

You guys really need to invest in a decent sat nav ! Lol Choice of continents... Phone a friend time ??? So is it time for a new thread ??? Playdo Vs Lard Cruiser :lol:

I doubt you can disconnect ATRAC as it is part of the ABS system. You would never use it on its own to get through a technical section, but what it does do, is it gives you a locker equivalent for the front and back. LC2 & LC3 only have a rear diff locker. As it is part of the ABS the...

Go to Italy and drive through the Alps.... It rains too much up here !!!

Naw it's one of those big things that doesn't fit in an Italian mountain village and blocks the road for ages !!! :eusa-whistle: :

Picking on Crispin is not fair :naughty: One truck with a snag..... I won't name names in the 80 camp :whistle: Should I suggest we are both wrong.... When you can get a new hi-lux for 18k ???

That's fair, better the devil you know. They are both great trucks, but the real bargain, which I see a lot on the trail these days is the hi-lux. And you can get a brand new one for £18k Good luck on your hunt though

Seriously... Honest. I have been very impressed with mine, ok it's fairly modified and I haven't ever been worried and the ATRAC has worked faultlessly. My last 4x4 was a merc g-wagon and it was awesome too, but on balance I think the Prado has the edge. A lot of traction issues are down to...

ATRAC is cool.... Works every time... Not like stuck diff locks :0) Or maybe it's an import without diff locks ?

Karl, Sadly I will be in the Pyrenees at the weekend, but I would also need 4 Amazon drivers to sit in mine to balance the weight just to make it fair ...... But it would sure be an interesting test.. Alternatively, you could follow me, if you didn't have to stop for diesel all the time :0)

Yup Prado is the sleek racing snake of a Land Cruiser, whereas an Amazon is a Lard Cruiser slightly plumper on the dimensions and 500kg heavier :0) Ps all the Prados are beautiful, well not sure about the 150... It lost the transfer box lever :0(

You should look at the Prados, they are only fractionally smaller, faster, more economic, lighter and you will get a much newer one for the same money. Just a thought .

The high pressure is only between the injector pump on the engine and injector. It is a feature of the common rail system. The fuel tank to injector pump is low pressure. But why fit an extra trap when you have one already ?

Mmmm will try harder, and yes slow day !! But I do like the fact that a fully laden Prado weighs the same as an empty Amazon ! Unless the +500 kgs includes the Amazon driver :0)
