They couldn't do a worse Job then Toyota did when they built them.
What's the failure rate from Toyota?

He uses ceramic coated pistons with extra oil drillings! Reckons he has been specialising in them for the last 5 years (with the V8) and nothing else. Also says he does 5 a week! So I figure he wouldn't still be in business if there was an issue with those numbers!

Maybe so but why has he chosen an shirt in the Baileys Diesel Group colour scheme??

Geez if that, and a bunch of Pradopointers dealing with him, aint a jinx - I dont know what is.

Change over but I have received some other info which has changed my mind again

I'm only disappointed they don't mention the 2.8D4D engine - perhaps it can provide an answer to the white smoke issue pouring out the back? So far Toyota are refusing to replace my DPF as they can't replicate the issue. A bit of sour grapes here - I've come back to Toyota for reliability in a new 2016 GXL and thought I'd own it for around 10 years (as evidenced by the $13,000 in accessories on it). Unfortunately, I see myself selling it soon and buying a petrol - and with the latest Prado not offering that I will probably head to the Patrol side...

I'd happily pay for them to fix it at some cost - $5000 and I would still be ahead with the loss of resale...

White smoke?

WHITE SMOKE occurs when raw diesel comes through the exhaust completely intact and unburned. Some causes of this include

Faulty or damaged injectors
Incorrect injection timing (could be a worn timing gear or damaged crankshaft keyway).
Low cylinder compression (eg caused by leaking or broken valves, piston ring sticking, cylinder and/or ring wear, or cylinder glaze)

When white smoke occurs at cold start, and then disappears as the engine warms up, the most common causes are fouling deposits around piston rings and/or cylinder glazing. Use of our Flushing Oil Concentrate and FTC Decarbonizer address these respective problems.

Water entering combustion spaces will also create white smoke. Faulty head gaskets and cracked cylinder heads or blocks are a common cause of water entry, and are often to blame. Unfortunately, expensive mechanical repair is the only proper solution here.

Any of that info compares to your D4D?

YES! Thank you. I now have something other than my guess-work that I can take to Toyota and ask them to look at. Appreciated!
