I am in need of parts (specifically a radiator) for a Prado LJ78, 2L-TE engine and was wondering if the collective wisdom here has any suggestions. I am currently in the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean, so air shipping would be necessary. A U.K or Canadian source would likely be easiest. Do you folks have a favorite?

It's a small island and they are on "Island Time" so it could be a long wait if I can even find someone to do it. I'll look into it, though. It will also be about $1000 U.S. for Island markup, which is what some locals quoted me for a new one. Where do you guys buy your parts?
Another question is how do I figure out the year. Everything is in Japanese, and I couldn't find any indication of year. It is an EX. Are they (the 2L-TE) all the same? Looks like the early 90s version. Are there characteristics that would allow me to figure out the year? The only numbers I could find are on the plate on the firewall that says Q-LJ78W-PGT.

If our government had been thinking, your islands would now be the 10th province...alas...small minds.
I'm wondering if your best source for parts is not southwest of you in central america...we have members in Panama with lots of knowledge and contacts (hey you guys speak up!!)
