    Good Afternoon fellow Prado Owners!!

    Just a quick post to say gday and introduce myself. My name is Albert (Alby for short) and I am currently located in the ACT (hopefully moving to VIC soon)

    My ride is:

    YEAR: 1996
    MAKE: TOYOTA
    MODEL: LANDCRUISER PRADO GXL

    MODIFICATIONS:
    Engine: Dual Petrol/Gas operation.
    Exterior: 2" Lift kit
    Alloy Rims
    Interior: Focal 6" Splits, Focal Rear Speakers
    240V Inverter
    Upgraded Entertainment unit (GPS+IPOD+MP3 soon to be installed)

    Due to a breakdown, the car has been off the road for the past few months. Apparently my clutch (with 10,000 Kms on it) decided it did NOT want all 4 springs in the clutch plate, and donated a spring to the pressure plate housing... Long story short, I have finally managed to procure a desireable clutch (OEM spec, not OEM brand though) and just this morning finished putting the whole shabang back together (and promptly took it for a quick test drive up the road... then into the paddock... then into 4L... then... well you get the idea .

    I would like to thank you guys for all of the information located on this forum, it was fundamental in some of the decisions made in the general purchase of the clutch and repairs. I look forward to catching up with some other Prado owners out and about

    Cheers!

    Alby

    Welcome Alby,
    Always good to see more 90's owners on here.

    Sounds like your handy with a spanner or two... maybe a 'how to' thread is in order
    Cheers, Leon
    There's no such thing as a wrong turn... it's just the scenic route!

        Hahah, well, I would say that I am reasonably handy with a spanner... however, this forum and the service manual did me a world of good :lol:

        I look forward to seeing you guys out and about, hopefully the car gets registered within the next couple of weeks then :twisted: off-road time :twisted:

              It was for sale at a dealship in Fyshwick when I picked up my 2000 90 series from the same lot. Not too long after I bought (well swapped) mine I saw yours parked in the Russell carparks. Not sure if that was when you bought it or you have bought it from whoever bought it from Fyshwick (and worked at Russell).
