Hi Ben, yeah, head is where we leaning towards now,... expensive little job that one is apparently! The transmission has been worrying me for a few months. Everytime we tow with the prado, anything bigger than a box trailer, we get transmission fluid somehow ending up in the engine bay . Toyota have checked it time and time again but said the fluid levels are right so they don't know either. Also the auto taking too long to change gear just when driving it everyday. Just really revs out before gear change. Even toyota tech guy picked up on this when he test drove it. Just don't know whats going on with this car and being a chick, it's hard to get answers from anyone which is why I have turned to this chat site. Going back to the head issue, should the prado be doing this after 114000 km's??? Thanks Jo

Hi! Newbie here. Just having some problems with my 03 diesel prado. After 114000km's, car started getting hot and dumping all the coolant out of radiator into overflow. Have sorted out the heat problem but the car still losing all the coolant. Dealer wants to look at cracked head possibility and that worries me as I thought that with only 114000km's we wouldn't be looking at these problems...... Has any one had any similar problem? Also transmission queries with this same car??? Thanks, Jo
