Hey guys,
Noobie here.
I have just purchased a 1991 Toyota Landcruiser Prado SX5 So far with the 30 minutes of hitting the interwebs I pretty much ask myself what my username says.....amifked? I read nothing but bad reviews about the 2l-te. To make things worse, the car I have bought has been sitting for approximately 1 year. What steps do I need to take to make my prado an urban warrior (I'm not an offroader, still might get a snorkel though). I know the oil probably should be changed and a coolant flush. What should I do about the diesel? It has been sitting with half a tank for a year. Should I fill the other half with new diesel or pump the old stuff out? Sorry about all my questions. Pretty bummed out that this thing may be a ticking time bomb. Its at 230 XXX KM right now. I live in Canada, any winter maintenance for these turbo diesels? ALSO if the head does crack, I don't want to be going through heads like a barber's comb, I probably will be looking to replace the engine, any good suggestions (diesel) ?
Sincerely,
AmIFked
