    traded a fender for a prado, never thought I'd hear that.

    anyway, good luck with that


    All cars have problems from time to time.

    To go from a Defender to a Prado I'm guessing there were more reasons for the swap than a melted headlight switch. Not that I've ever driven a Defender (or even been a passenger in one, any offers? ).

    Well, a new Prada is a bit more flash than an old 'fender
    and I think the SWMBO and her buddies would like it -

    I have an older Disco and gets heaps from my lot that I'm not in a Touraeg or a BMW or a Merc thingy.......

    Image.....such is the modern life...

    What did you do with the Landy, Miker?

    Many here would happily take it off your hands....

    Good luck with it.

    Give me an older car and an investment of some sort any day over a new car.

    don't worry utemad - my older disco will only ever make way for a slightly newer one... like a last build Disco 1 1998-9 model; but for $64k driveaway a new D3 sounds real good.... just need the $64k or wait few years & get one for half that (or less)......

    Guys, guys guys...all right to try and salvage some cred my lease was up on the Defender and there was no replacement available. I had to purchase something and I have been quite impressed with the Prado's performance when my mate accompanied me on a couple of serious runs. A suspension upgrade and an airlocker makes it a competent (yes a touch bland) tourer.

    God bless y'all !

    I've read here a bit about fender light switches and the absence of a relay ??
    Is this an issue across the board with all models, or has it been addressed in the last few years. Wondering about my 03 fender.....

    Cheers

    No Roscoe. Nothing new, even early Rangies had the same problem of melting light switches. Did the relay job on our old Stage 1 for the same reason.
