    1999 Prado 3.4 V6 Petrol:

    1 About 150,000 km - a computer component died - engine would start but then cut out - located on F3 Freeway near Hawkesbury River, just north of Sydney - had to be towed to dealer
    2 192,000 km - rear shock absorber bush failed meaning the shock absorber fell off - located coming down from Mt Pinnibar in Victorian High Country - used duct tape to repair and drove about 200 km to Cooma to repair properly
    3 180,000 km - solenoid system for fuel tank had wires ripped out - could not activate reserve tank - luckily still had 1/4 left in main to drive to town in Hunter Valley - could have fixed easily if needed to (did later)
