Strange I thought Id posted here but couldn't find it? is it just me?

Well Im about to buy a K Reg 1992 Prado, its a 2.4 efi and its show room condition with 46K(miles) on the clock.

The only issue is it seems as if the turbo is awol - pumps out smoke and the turbo is full off oil - hope its this anyway.

The only thing with the forum is that reading on here it seems there are a lot of questions that nobody answers? Don't mean to be critical but on the landy forum Ive been on for two years the help seems to fly a lot more freely? or is this me as well.

Still I hope to make friends and get help and in turn help others.

Hi and welcome to the club Laughing

Sorry to hear about your turbo, sounds like the seals are gone - oil side (Which usually means the bearings are worn too)
As for the forum...It is probably a bit quiet compared to a Landy forum. (As the Landcruisers do not fall apart or go wrong as often as a Landy??? Wink

) When I first came on here, you where lucky to see 5 - 6 posts a month, now its 10 - 12 a day (Mostly) Shocked
