I have a 2007 Prado D4D.
It has 300k on the clock, it is due for a service now.
Just recently I needed to replace the starter motor (299,500kms)
It is due for a timing belt (I ordered the timing belt kit 2 days ago, waiting for it to arrive) which I plan to have installed whilst it is in for a service this week.
I travel 30 mins to work. On my way home from work tonight my engine started to lose power. It cut in and out (similar to a car misfiring) this is my first diesel vehicle and I'm not sure if they can misfire like a petrol engine can?
Anyway, the issue I had was similar to a misfiring engine. It did this about 4-5 times so I pulled over and shut the engine off.
I left it a while and started it up.. The starter motor was going but the engine wouldn't kick over!
I'm not mechanically minded so no point in me trying to disgnose it!
Does anyone have any ideas on what it might be? Any help would be appreciated..
