    LC 300

    According to Aussie youtubes etc. the 2.8 has been tuned to actually have a bit more power and torque to its V8 4.5 diesel counterpart. The V8 has been undertuned a lot to meet emissions etc, but this can be modded to give you much more power and torque. The wider front wheel track was done...

    Colorado glow plug change needed??

    Hi Bob, hope you are well. I always thought that anything above 1 ohm is not good for glow plug, but the glow plugs I put in mine from NGK all have 1.4ohm new. https://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/ngk-glow-plug-y1013j-94288-3 See description within the table linked above.

    Colorado glow plug change needed??

    Is your fuel filter plunger soft after you stop the engine? The one you pump to draw fuel from tank. Happened to mine few weeks ago (slow start cold or warm), turn out that i have a corroded fuel pipe on top of the tank.

    Colorado glow plug change needed??

    Seems like the plugs are doing their job. The slow start, is it regardless of warm or cold engine?

    Colorado glow plug change needed??

    Check whether you have voltage going to the glow plug buzz bar when your ignition is turn on (not starting) when engine is cold. You should see 10-11v for 10 seconds or so. At least to make sure that voltage is being supplied to the plugs. Then further trouble shoot if this is ok.

    Is this normal?

    So East Malaysia - I am from a small town Lawas next to Brunei. Part of Pan Borneo right? My auto usually shift to 3rd at 55mph (89km/h), then quickly shift into OD after that, with rpm dropping by 200 - the phantom gear change @AdventureWagon mentioned above.

    Is this normal?

    Just noticed that you are from Malaysia. Me too, but has been in the UK since 1999. which part of Malaysia? The highway speed there shouldn't be too demanding on this Auto box. Should be sitting around 100 - 110km/h quite happily?

    Is this normal?

    Could be, I have an additional ATF cooler installed after the OEM radiator heat exchanger. ATF temperature warning never came on, if there is a pre warning from ECU then this should prevent a lot of ATF overheating. My fluid was not red (but not terrible) when drained. Anyway, will monitor...

    when you mentioned long trips, like a half a day journey? It happened to my Prado once during the summer when we drove all the way from Ireland (to Ferry) then to Cumbria, about 40mins from home, coming off the motorway pass a roundabout, the Auto struggle to change to 3rd gear. I stopped the...

    Is this normal?

    So you changed the filter due to the high rpm gear shift issue? is there any difference of the rpm after the new filter and part atf refresh? Take it that you didn’t flush the remaining atf in the torque converter.

    Air in fuel line (from a new member)

    Hi Mark & Claire, Not sure if you got your pick up changed? I have done mine recently, i can answer some of your questions: There is no pump in the tank, diesel works on vacuum from the fuel pump in the engine to “suck” fuel forward. For those little screw bolts holding the pick up unit to...

    Good shout about painting the tank, might be a task for the summer month… i have removed my tow bar for the time being, as 2 of the tank protection bolts are behind the tow bar frame. So shouldn’t take me that long now if i was to remove again…

    Just thought i will share. My Prado started to struggle to fire up few weeks back when the weather got a bit colder, thought was the glow plug so check voltage to buzz bar on ignition on, Yes voltage appears for 15second. Was a bit puzzled but kept using the car, until the starting get worse...

    @Buller the engine has done 200,000km, imported so big chunk of service history was missing. The main symptom was a puff of white thick smoke (for a few seconds) on first start in the morning, and slow lost of coolant (200ml over 2-3 weeks). No smoke on remaining starts of the day. No...
