Front Wheel Hub Bearings...
Yes Sir indeedy. I must say that the engine is pristine, even for 170K old now. The engine bay and engine still presents like new. The only parts I've ever replaced were the serpentine belt, tensioner pulley and idler pulley. It's had two batteries and the routine oil and oil/air filters. Coolant has also been done. Plugs are still factory and showing no sign of any misfire issue. Original alternator, air conditioning compressor etc. It's never really had any invasive repairs. I must say that Toyota really sharpened their pencils when they designed the 50 series. I believe it to be the best of the last of the most reliable Toyota's ever made. The Camry V6 which replaced the Aurion after production of the Aurion ended. in my opinion, doesn't hold up to the 50 series Aurion. I'm happy to be correct on that but I am confident that my 50 series Aurion will see less issues than that of the XV70 Camry V6 and sadly the newer cars are just getting worse in terms of quality. 2017 was the peak of Toyota Quality in my opinion. 😄😄 -

Fuel, red or any other colour it has no business being in the catch-can. A catch-can is used to capture engine oil vapour etc. -

Brake issues
No growling, no noise. Very smooth. No hard braking either. This is also why I was so amazed when I found chunks missing out of the pads. -

200 series Sahara Pre-collision system malfunction
Members 1 First Name:Peter Toyota Model:Landcruiser Sahara Year: 2017 Location: Western Australia Posted January 21, 2024 We have the same problem. 2017 Landcruiser Sahara. I have been to a dealership who said they fixed it. They thought it was a wiring connector malfunction next to the windscreen rear view mirror. The problem returned after 6 months. They showed me how to reset the "limp mode" when it happens. Close all doors. Turn on engine. Turn off engine. Lock the car using the key switch. Unlock the car using the key switch. Repeat this two (2) more times. (total of 3 times). The system resets, the messages disappear, the car is out of "limp mode". This is great, except at the moment the problem returns about 20 minutes later. Yes, it is frustrating but worst of all, depending on who you talk to, dealers included, everyone has a different solution, but nobody has the final solution. At least, I have been told that I can keep driving the car whilst this error is displayed as long as I am aware that the pre-crash system won't work. I must say that otherwise, I think this car is an absolute beauty. Does anyone have a magic answer? Peter Lanski, did you get a magic remedy from anyone? Have had the same issue, takes out cruise including of course adaptive, lane departure, Does not derate the engine, Not sure I've done this properly being 1st time on this forum club. Pete.B. WA -

2000 Prado ebay power steering rack
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
