Hi all Just thought I post my 2000 Prado 3.4L, 5 Speed Manual, 352xxx kms, LSD, Dual tanks (not the SUB pump into main) Still got some suspension work to do on it and tyres but goes well. Just installed 2x solar panels on the roof cage (still have a 3rd as a fold out) and future upgrades is wheels, winch bullbar and exhaust. It's just gonna be more of a tourer/mild 4WD so not gonna throw too much at it Cheers

Evening guys, Got myself a 2000 Landcruiser Prado and slowly attending to the neglected suspension but I noticed after changing my inner rack ends, it's been leaking (not sure for how long) I know how to change these racks (not impossible but maybe awkward) and I know it can be cheaper maybe getting new seals and getting a mechanic to do it but just wondering if anyone has had any luck with a new power steering rack off Ebay (the $250-$300 ones). I've read reviews and they don't seem to have any negative results and obviously the Prados are also overseas (Tecomas). Just alot easier for me to change on my own then to go without a car (as possible chance, it be my home on wheels if getting evicted) Cheers

Essentially you can stick the screw driver on any bit of the engine, but the closer to a rotating part the better, but if there are zero noises when the car isn't being driven, including with your head "under the bonnet" with someone revving the engine, or turning the wheels (if your car has a power steering pump) or when the aircon is switched on etc.... I would say that it's unlikely to be an engine bay related noise. From what I've seen in your posts over the years, I'm glad that you're car can't talk..... because it wouldn't shut up about how much it loves you 🙂 Given that you don't plan on selling it (unless I tell you this weeks winning lotto numbers... and even then.....), changing the wheel bearings won't hurt. Keep us updated mate 🙂 -

No worries. Hopefully it's not the head gasket... In regards to red dye in and untaxed diesel fuel, I googled "red diesel Australia" and from what I can see we do have this in Australia. So to rule that out I would collect a sample when you fuel up next at your local, or if you feel brave syphoning some fuel from your tank. All the best Steve -
Hi, Thanks, yes I have just had to top up the coolant and will be monitoring that but I think that was low due to another reason. My first thought was it red due to untaxed fuel but didn't find anything about it being the case in Australia. I know in the UK untaxed fuel is red. Hopefully it's not a head gasket 🤞 Cheers Dave
