What were the mods and what was the cost? Any Pics? I have just spoken to Powerflow and they said £400-£500 worst case without seeing it, I was thinking more £200-£300!!

Hi Folks! The old girls exhaust started blowing coming to work this morning, haven't had chance for a full inspection yet but if it is all shot are stainless available? Does anyone know if anyone manufactures one or would it need to be a custom built, Powerflow type? Has anyone had prior...

Well........................ I went out to the LC with the intention of having another look at the lights/ABS. It had stood for a couple of days. I started the car and ...........everything was fine?? ABS light out and brake lights working fine! It doesn't instill much confidence that it's...

Cheers Chris, I havent checked the 'big' fuse with a meter but visually it's fine! I have some details on the diagnostic check using the wire but one question........................where is the port located?

Hi Folks, Pretty much as per the title! My ABS light has illuminated, brakes seem to be working fine but haven't been on anything with little enough traction to test that the ABS is working too. Also discovered that both the stop lights and the high level stop light are not working. I haven't...

Just a quick update, LC stood for a week and a half and started first click, no diesel fumes or other apparent issues. Touch wood a new filter and a good clean of the housing has sorted it! Cheers guys :dance:

Cheers for all the comments. I dropped the tank off mine and the pipes looked OK, they looked like they had previously been undersealed, I couldn't see any signs off leaking. I then looked at the fuel filter which looked like it had been use to filter a canal!! It isn't so old either! I had a...

Cheers!! Why do these things happen in the winter? Still, I suppose I'd be gutted if we finally got some snow and it wouldn't start! Rob

I take it the tank has to come off to modify/repair the pick-up pipe? Is this much off a job? anything to be aware of? :pray:

I see, that would explain it and why it's worse the longer it's left. I'll have a feel about tonight and see if I can find anything. Thanks again mate.

Cheers guys, i'll have a look about underneath but I haven't noticed anything underneath when it's been parked up. It could explain the terrible fuel consumption....................hang on........it's always been terrible :lol:

Hi Folks, Happy New year to all. Question is pretty much as the title, The past couple of weeks my 3.0td 95 (1997 Prado) has been smelling really strongly of diesel after start up and for the first few miles. It seems to go away but this could be me either getting used to the smell or the...

Cheers Guys, you have put my mind at rest! :auto-layrubber:

Just changed the oil on my 1997 3.0td 95. It took 6.8 litres and the level looked correct at the time. Then paranoia crept in and I started thinking there was too much oil in but I can't seem to get a good reading as the dipstick seems to show really high on one side (like it's getting covered...
