Thanks.. now I will go take my Zoloft...
As a postscript to my saga about Toyota and Lexus dealerships in So. California, I have sworn off them forever. The last insult was that Lexus charged me close to $200 for a diagnostic, and left all the components under my hood without bolts or screws! (Sorry, I'm a stupid consumer, so I don't have the correct nomenclature here.) I just found out about this a month ago. There was a terrible rattling noise under the hood which an independent mechanic told me was caused by the fact that none of the parts was securely bolted in place. Some had one bolt when they should have had four, some had ordinary household screws holding them in instead of automotive bolts, and my water container was just WEDGED IN without any fastener at all! I was going to call Lexus and try to get my money back but the indy mechanic told me that the dealerships harass guys like him all the time, so he didn't want to get involved. Anyway, I'm glad to be out of the dealer racket!
It's a very small hose in length and it does seem to take forever to get to it and to actually replace it. I've seen some people remove the manifold in order to get to it. Fortunately, I didn't have to do that on mine

Any comments or suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks.
Ever heard of GS CRUISERPARTS ? www.gscruiserparts.com or for a real Landcruiser specialist go to www.all-american.nl and go to the contact details.
Is your Prado a turbodiesel or petrol / gasoline version ? I have a KZJ77 wich is a Prado 3 litre Turbodiesel.
With best regards, Maarten
Its mostly the electric motor that runs the steering colomn. With a bit of bad luck its both motors.
Partnumbers are; # 89231-60022 for the tilt motor and # 89232-60022 for the telescopic motor. these are the newest partnumbers as both items have been modified twice since introduction in 1998.
Hope this works for you. Maarten

Feedback on the cause of your specific problem is much appreciated.

Any ideas?

With two differentials, two drive shafts and 4 yokes, there are lots of moving parts. Have you checked the torque of the nuts at each end of the drive shafts and all other undercarriage fasteners? Do you have running boards installed? Check those nuts.

I had similar problem, my are locking every once in a while when I start moving from Stop sign or red light. and the lights come on.
This problem don't show up on the computer, so it is hard to diagnose .
In my opinion the front rotors need to be replaced.
I don't think it is the pump or the master cylinder.
But your brakes are fine it is only the ABS function that is not working.
not a big deal unless you are on snow or wet road.
It can be very expensive because the "morons" at the dealership will start changing anything in the car untill they figure out what cause the problem.
This is why I drive the that and I even pass the inspection twice.
Let me know if you find out something else.
THanks Derrick

...this has to be some sort of regular thing that can be "addressed" easily - here is the scenario.... was backing out of the driveway this AM - came to a stop after backing out, turned the wheel and stepped on the gas a little, but the tranny was not in "D", but instead in "N"...... with my 3 yr and 5 yr old carrying on in the back seat, i did not notice the engine was reving slighty, so when I pushed the tranny from "N" to "D", the result was a "clunk" when the reving engine met the tranny .. the warning lights came on just then... stopped the truck, turned it off and restarted it... drove a mile to karate practice - it sat for an hour and I then drove back home... the lights are still on, but me thinks it is something that can be addressed - last time it was the O2 sensor.... which I replaced.... any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks,
The drive shaft "clunk" is fairly common and is usually solved by lubing at each end.

Fuel injector service done? Throttle body cleaned?
