Yep. But I knew it was going to get a few jokers on it. I was wondering what may have caused it. Probably something flamable on the exhaust manifold? Pity though.. it was a brand new Prado...Originally posted by Tex

It also means the soccer mum driving will now receive a shiny new Prado, with none of the shopping trolley and adjacent-car-in-carpark denting the burnt one undoubtably had. :DTeh nice guy can never win!Comment

Oops, Sorry Paul....
My Bad..
I only know about this because we have lost one already - it was pre-recall so I think Toyota replaced that one for us
hopefully the one Chris saw was not our second.....

Hmm, just checked...
looks like The Prado is ready for that nail after all.....
The earlier models had a differerent fuel leakage problem.... but being that they are bought by people hardly going off road, this is not as much of a concern..

Sorry Cooks, that was the one I torched. Go & torch your own!Soft roaders represent an excellent compromise between the needs of the hardcore 4x4 user and the convenience of a city hatchback. Its clear to see why they have become so popular in todays society.Comment
