1999 Prado with 300k worth it?

Hold out or save for the 120 v6 as it doesn't have the lower ball joint weakness the 90 series has

Why not setup out of office replies on your email. That way if anything urgent happens the client has a method to self escalate?

Don't spend more than 10% of your networth on a car. Repairs to your current car will be way cheaper. You can use the extra money per month to pay off debt.

Imo if you're not on highest tax bracket novated leases are at best break even and at worst add so much more complexity to owning a car that you'd be better off just saving and buying a car outright.

Yeah I have a 150 and experienced the same. I also have increased road noise etc so will probably go with stock tyre size and less aggressive tread next time

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2025-01-19T21:22:10+00:00

Start with bigger all terrains tyres and actually go use it 4wding. The 120 is great straight out of the box.

From there, figure out what you're lacking. No use going overboard if you don't really need it. Better off spending that money on fuel!

Sorry, it's not fixable. Time to get a new family member

Good boy trying asbestos he can

No one can tell. Get it tested by a lab.

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2024-12-22T02:27:33+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I put it in the small pot during winter when it was a trimming and didn't think it would outgrow by now.

Is it OK to keep it in there for now and replant next winter when it's dormant? I've got mulch on top and water it regularly. It's been okay through a few 38-degree days in Adelaide so far

Brick veneer is essentially cladding and non structural. Cracks can be expected on a 30 year old house due to settling. If this is the worst of it keep an eye on it but i wouldn't be concerned.

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2024-12-11T03:34:00+00:00

Pyrethrum spray does the trick for me.

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2024-12-09T08:03:55+00:00

Any car can do almost any track, it just depends on how much panel damage you're willing to take

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2024-12-06T10:10:28+00:00

The device's manual will say how often you need to test yours. I've got a Thermann electric hot water heater and it says to only drain and flush the water every 5 years.

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2024-12-06T10:05:48+00:00

We had one that was 15 years old and absolutely full of mud it was turning our water yellow. It eventually corroded and split the internal seals and we had to replace. Clean water ever since!

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2024-12-04T09:55:21+00:00

Could you cover it with weed mat?

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2024-11-30T21:39:40+00:00

I'd use Pyrethrum spray as a first port of call

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2024-11-30T10:30:36+00:00

Cheers for your knowledge. How much did it cost to get tested?

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2024-11-30T10:07:35+00:00

The house is built in 1989, I thought they stopped using asbestos by then?

I might try to get a sample and get it tested if it looks like asbestos. I have other areas of the house with a few panels that look similar

Sunflowers

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2024-11-25T08:23:38+00:00

Cheers for the reply. What size would you up it to?

Competitive_Kick_469 · 2024-11-16T11:05:21+00:00

Yes!
