So a quick update on the glow buzzer and dash lights. There were some loose bolts around the alternator. At least that part is solved.

Hello again, I just got my truck back from the shop for injector work and some electrical work. When my mechanic put in the refurbished injectors he couldn't start the truck and thought that my glow relay was dead. He said there was a wire short somewhere behind the fuse box but had fixed it...

We didn't remove the throttle plates when we took of the EGR. It was something we discussed but we were already many hours in and just wanted to get the job done. I might explore that again soon. I just had knee surgery so I'm off my feet at the moment and just working on internet recon for now...

I haven't! I'll see if I can get in there soon

Hello from Prado Hell, Since I bought my Prado I have been having horrible starts. Black, blue, white smoke. I've tried so many things and too much money and still have the issue, time and again. What am I missing here!? My mechanic says that I should add fuel cleaner, but I'm not convinced that...

Has anyone been able to find Rotella t4 15w40 in Vancouver or online? My friend and I are both looking and haven't had any luck.

Thanks very much! Still waiting for the tie rods and damper, but hopefully once that's done and alignment I'll have a better idea. The tires were practically brand new when I bought the truck last October, so I'm hoping to avoid that expense if I can!

Thanks! I'm hoping it's not the tires, but one the tie-rods and damper are replaced I'll know more hopefully!

Good Morning from Vancouver, BC I have had mega wobble issues with my LJ78. We lifted the truck and tested the wheels for play. Plenty of play front left to right. I took it into a shop in December and the panhard bushings were replaced. When I brought it back to further address the wobble...

Thanks again! Starting to resolve some issues. I am having the worst time trying to find the link to your bible of builds to improve my truck. I want to get started on an oil catch can pronto. It seems that the leaking is just going to have to be a part of life on my truck right now. But I'd...

Hi there, I had a similar issue this last year with my 1990 Prado, also automatic. Mine was randomly shifting to 2nd when I was at a stop and could only get functional driving by gearing down to first when I was coming from a stop to a green light. It turns out that there was a cracked...

I’m definitely on a big learning curve but fortunately I have some Landy friends with every tool I could need. Looking to learn a lot more. I’ll keep up the the double glow for now. Hoping to test the plugs once the snow goes away!

Hi Gang! Excited to be a part of the forum. I just impulse bought a Prado Turbo Diesel 2LTE 1990. I love it, but have already had a world of problems. Two oil leaks, a fuel leak, a dead solenoid and hub issues.... YAY! My new concern are both the glow plugs, or alternately the temperature...
