I bought a new (to me) 2009 150 series D4D Kakadu in 2014.
I planned to keep it for 10yrs and love it now just as much as I did when it was shiny and new'ish in the dealership, such a great car.
Trouble is I now find myself needing to move back to the UK for circa 4 years for work.
I'm keen to ship my Prado over so I can use it there but appreciate that it will need some modifications to make it street-legal in the UK e.g. replace the speedo with one that shows MPH!
I'm unsure about things like emissions standards in UK vs Aus but a Toyota rep suggested that I might need to change the exhaust to comply.
I'm keen to get some feedback from anyone here that might have done this before and/or who knows what alterations may be required in order to export my car to the UK (and back again of course!)
Thanks in advance.
