Hi Glen Thats sad to hear about your engine hopefully the catch can idea will keep it going for a bit longer, Try a bottle of Wynns worn engine treatment, does wonders with smokey engines to get them through for a WOF, I add engine stops leaks to mine help with the valve stem seals, doesnt burn much ...

Hi Just wondering if anyone has fitted after market springs and shocks to their 90 series Prado and what they handle like. I dont want to raise mine (maybe just 20-25mm) as its my daily driver and dont really use it much off road (I have a Pajero for off road) I am after a decent shock/spring ...

Hi can anyone help point me in he right direction to finding a wiring diagram for the air con system on a NH Pajero . I am having problems with the fan in front of the radiator, my truck has climate control.
Cheers

You could really do with a wheel alignment buy the look of it you camber is way out

My Pajero and friends Prado out in the snow

I have just bought a 1993 3.5 Pajero cause I wanted the bull bar. The truck is in great condition but is missing/running rough and popping thru the exhaust. The rear cylinders on the LH bank both have low compressions, about 80 psi, anyone struck this before? Blown head gasket, burnt valves, pistons ...

No it doesn't start straight after the light goes off you have to keep cranking it, I usually wait for 10 seconds of so (I wait until the electric aerial has fully extended, make a good timer) It been -2 to -6 degrees here in the mornings

Hi got an issue with my glow plug indicator light it only comes on for about 1.5 seconds. I have new genuine Toyota glow plugs, they do continue to glow for about 15 seconds even after the light goes out so I just wait ten seconds before starting. A friends Prado glow light stays on allot longer ...

Think I will get it checked out on Monday, get the codes read and see whats the go from there, before I use it to go up the mountain again.

Hi. Earlier today I came down the mountain after skiing, I had the trans in 2nd with the overdrive switched off and was on over run mostly all the way down. when I got to the bottom I put it into drive and switched the O/D back to on then the light started flashing and trans was doing strange things ...

Mmmm didnt think of the body lift syndrome with the latter models. I am not keen to do a body lift as i puts too much stress on the body. I might just wait until July for the correct bar. Thinking I might just mount my winch in the mean time see how it goes. I bought a KZJ95 Prado the other day, had ...

I had ordered from the local distributor a ARB steel winch bar for my 92 NH SWB with no air bags. ARB Aust is currently out of stock but do have stock of 1996 air bag compatable bars. Can any one tell me if the latter Air bag bar will bolt straight on to my non air bag truck.

Thanks guys, thinking $500 was a bit steep, will check out the gearbox and motor tonight then if its ok will try to negotate down the price. Thinking might be better off buying a new Chinese one off our local 4x4 shop and comes with a 2 year warranty.

I have just been offered this Warn winch which was removed from a Prado. I was wondering if anyone had access to a wiring diagram for the solenoid box to the winch motor. And does anyone have an idea what model this is and how old would it be? As you can see by the photos I cant read the sticker ...

I have heard that GDI engines can be a bit troublesome its got 117 ...

A friend of mine has bought a 1997 KZJ 90 SWB Prado, she needs a snorkel for it. There seems to be alot of confusion with suppliers over here as the air cleaner is on the passengers side of the engine compartment where as the majority of Prados have the air filter on the drivers side. Can anyone ...

These pics are from yesterday when we were out with our club, A new member brought along their Prado SWB, fist trip for her. She handed over the wheel to another friend, thought they would try it out in a bit of a bog. Was a little to deep for the Prado's air intake, see smoke in photos, wasnt ...

Well I used to have a FJ40 on 32" tyres and had LSD rear, it was a capable truck but damn uncomfortable and heavy on fuel, and crap brakes when ever you got them wet, bought a Jtop and that would go far more places than the cruiser, now have the SWB hard top and that is luxury with suspension seats ...

Hi I am replacing brake pads front and rear about every 5000km, have been using the Lucas pads from Repco not the cheaper silverline pads. They are wearing evenly, the slides and pistons are all free. I was told its due to all the mud, gravel and grit. Anyone out there had a similar problem and if ...

Do you have a trailer wiring plug? Alot of blown fuses on modern vehicles can be traced to faulty aftermarket wiring to the trailer plug. Does the fuse blow as soon as you turn the key on or do you have to turn the indicators on? Left or right side?

Not unless you have the matching transmission/gear box, wiring loom ECU, radiator etc. Not worth the hassle. You would be better off buying a NJ truck with the 3.5 already in it

The roof rails appear to be factory Mitsubishi ones. This vehicle was imported into NZ 2nd hand from Japan and they were on the car when it arrived in NZ. There are a few Jap import Pajeros about with the same roof rails as mine over here.

Thanks, makes it easier with the use of a well equipped workshop and the trusty old air rattle gun

Is the switch on the diff housing just to operate the warning light?

There is no wiring for the compressor under the LHR window. There is also no wiring for the switch. There is a heap of wiring for the height control which I am not going to use. Can I just Wire up the compressor to power to engage the lock, and will it just disengage when there is no power to the ...
