I got the bulbs, not cheap but have made a great difference to the view forward. I also managed to get a funny wee mirror for the front of the nearside wing. It has filled the holes perfectly and works surprisingly well. I can now judge my distance to any obstacles directly in front of me to...

I have ordered a set of Phillips X-tremeUltinon LED gen2 bullbs and cannot wait to fit them. I may also splash out and invest in a new pair of headlamps as I see that Milner are selling new ones for a whopping £10 each. So we are getting there, but would still love a mirror for just above the...

Thanks guys, your experience is what I was after. I will invest in a new set of bulbs instead, far less bother and expense than spending several hundred pounds on a flash looking headlight set.

Thanks Beau, it looks like your suggestion is going to be the one to "tide me over" until I am convinced of a better combination. Many thanks, Rod You don't have a Prado mirror too, do you?

Thanks Giovanni, your suggestion is greatly appreciated. My only concern is that although they all seem good in the adverts, they may not measure up in reality. This is even more likely given the asking price of most of the lamps. I am a miserable Scotsman, but if required I can be very...

I have read through the preceeding queries and comments going back to 2014 and have seen the various problems encountered by the likes of Shayne with headlight replacement. The most recent of which seems to have been 4 months ago. So, on the off chance that the technical advice has changed...

Good evening one and all, apologies for not contributing for over a year but I lost site of the site, if you get my drift. Anyway, I have a 96 Prado and am currently looking for the funny wee mirror only found on the Prado models. The one which sits right at the leading end of the passenger...

Thanks for your words of wisdom Andy. So far the car(or is it unfair to refer to it in this manner as it is not really a car, but it is my "car.")has had a full service with the fuel, oil and air filters replaced. Lovely new oil poured into the engine and all brakes checked. The rear had a...

Thanks so much to all the above respondents. Firstly can I apologise if I have asked the same questions previously, I seem to recall doing so some time back but cannot find where I asked, old age is a curse right enough! I am in sunny Lesmahagow but as I have the SWB version of the Toyota I...

Good evening and thanks for such a seemingly wise and friendly site. As per the suggestions for what to write here, I have concocted the flollowing: I am now the extremely happy owner of a 1996 Prado 90 with the 1kz-te engine, it has about 250000Km on the clock and is in absolutely fantastic...

I really do mean 100% bio (eco friendly) but I am also aware that with a bit of heat the bio becomes noticeably thinner. This must be better for the flow rate and if this can be created by the simple expedient of fitting a (probably Toyota made) winter fuel kit to the filter then I am all for one.

Thanks to one and all for advice and suggestions. As luck would have it after looking at several vehicles more than 400 miles from here, I have now bought what I consider to be a beauty and it was less than an hour from here. It is a 1996 Prado 3 door with the 1kz-te engine and auto box. It is...

Good evening and thanks for letting me join your site. At present I am unlucky enough to have a 22 year old Land Rover Discovery 300 tdi, which runs a treat on probably quite poor quality, home made bio. But it is a Land Rover and as such it rusts faster than it can accelerate. So, having...
