    Mine is 03 (so older) but ticking towards 150Km's on originals . Prado 04, you can always do it now if your nervous then set the dashboard reminder light for 262000. One does not religiously have to do it at the 150k mark and you can re program the next one. I'll be doing the idler pulley and def the tensioner as well. Not sure about water pump, I think I will though then keep the old one for spares!!??

      Considering the low Klm's you might be waiting a while.
      Pretty cheap job, get it done! I'd like to see it gone every 6 years.

        Ok. Back in town. Got a quote from my local Midas guy. $1300. This is belt, tensioner, water pump and labour. From what I am seeing this is away too much to pay. Thoughts?

          Yeah I think for peace of mind I will get it done at some stage soon, Shouldn't have any dramas doing it myself I would prefer it this way then paying someone.

              I think I paid ~$1100 for mine to get done but they also did a service at the same time.
