After a few months of shopping around and getting lots of input from Family Dog, our household is proud to announce the arrival of of latest member.....Mervyn's Prado
Its a 2001 with 213700 kms, FSH with agents except last service! Very good condition.
2 minor things that need to be sorted out...
1. lumbar support switch not working on driver's seat; and
2. c/locking switch not working on driver's door panel.
Family Dog says it could be a contact issue which I must look into tomorrow. I striped the panel hurridly and master switch didnt show any obvious failure. Assumed it was electrical failure but now that FD gave me sonething to check, I will know shortly.
Any help/advice/suggestions will be welcomed as we are new parents to this type of vehicle.

Re: Introducing....Mervyn's Prado
Does the 17" fit the 90 series Prado without any issues. I see that the Prado comes standard in 16". 17" tyres seems cheaper?
