Introducing....Mervyn's Prado

Post by mervyn »

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 :yahoo: :celebrate:

Image Link Broken

Image Link Broken

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.

Edit: Pic links fixed - F_D

Shot Mervyn, the 90/95 series still remains one of the best-looking vehicles today!

You will enjoy many happy smiles with her :)

Does the 17" fit the 90 series Prado without any issues. I see that the Prado comes standard in 16". 17" tyres seems cheaper?
