Have some noise with the driver's belt. Some rust appeared on the iron tail tow hook.
Good perfomance at high speed but acceleration so slow at low revs.
It's more reasonable to buy than the Mercedes M Class that is too expensive and has a more outdated interior than the Harrier.
I just import an Harrier from JAPAN, but the TV channels and the Radio is not the same frequency, and the language display is in JAPAN.
Please let me know if possible to change a module so that l can modify the TV channels and Radio channels.
Thanks in advance.

I too just imported a harrier and I noticed and I found that I have difficulty in seeing at the sides, especially the drivers side. Thus when I turn corners it takes a while before my view becomes reasonable - I don't know what can be done about this. However I found the vehicle to be a wonderful ride and I just thinking how great it would have been if I had it when it was brand new!!
It is indeed important for manufacturers to live up to their expectations because I was a nissan fan before - but now I swear by toyota -- I am a converted toyotarian:) and hope to get a better lexus brand new when the money allow!
Congrats.
I have recently bought a toyota harrier 3.0 v6. Lovely car to drive. Maybe a bit thirsty, but this is to be expected. The only problem I can see, is that I cannot find a way to change the digital clock on the lcd display. My wife has a harrier 2.2 model which has a button just below the lcd display which is marked clock, but on my model the same button is marked as tv (which doesn't operate in uk)
I have taken the car to several dealers who specialize in imported cars, but as yet no luck. The only option left to me is to find someone who can speak japanese.
The Clock in the Harrier equipped with TV is set by GPS and can't be changed.
My wife and I bought a 1999 Harrier 3.0 Four two weeks ago. We have found this car to be a most sublime experience. A brief query, if you will please allow? How best can I find out if the vehicle we have is 4x2 or 4x4? Is the 4x4 unit full time 4x4? We have a Mitsubishi Pajero short wheel base that has a separate lever to engage the different drive settings. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

You can check if your Harrier is 4x4 or 2x4 by looking underneath the car at the rear end. If there is a differential box with drive shafts going to each rear wheel, then it is 4x4. If none, then 2x4. The 2 wheel drive model if FWD, so you won't see the the rear drive shafts.
I have recently bought a Harrier (manufactured in 1999) in a car show at Kowloon Bay. I also have the same problem to adjust the digital clock displaying in the LCD. I learn that the digital clock is set by GPS and can't be changed. Would you like to tell me what is GPS? Further, I observe a button labeled with PWD/ECT/SNOW at side of the gearshift. What does it mean?
Your early response & assistance is highly appreciated. Thank you.
I bought a Toyota Harrier imported from Japan recently. Some comments and questions...
Snow/ECT/PWR is used to switch to different driving condition, basically Snow for snow or slippery or mud surfaces, ECT is normal and PWD is for "sport" style driving.
GPS is a satellite network system that helps to know your exact position. It stands for Global Positioning System.
Why should the time be connected to GPS and be wrong? In that case it should reset when you move to another time shift. Some mobile phone equipped with GPS are working like that.
I have just taken delivery of a 2003 Toyota Harrier 2400cc which is probably the first in the UK as it had to go through the SVA check which took a few months. I am delighted with the car and it is very quick considering the smaller engine. I want to change everything from Toyota to Lexus and the first things are the radio, GPS and central display. I gather that the radio conversion is simple as there are companies who have sell little wiring gadgets for £20 but does anyone have experience of this thing working and furthermore how can I get the whole Japanese off the display unit. Also I need a Lexus logo fr the steering wheel. Any ideas to mfj4905@hotmail.com please.
I believe that there is a company in UK that sells translated manual of the Toyota Harrier. I got my Harrier together with the manuals (2 books) and they are both in Japanese. I don't know Japanese, but luckily I have a friend who knows. Found out that a little sticker underneath the bonnet says that the engine oil change interval is 15,000 km. Wonder if anyone had done it at this interval or not? My normal practice is oil change every 5,000 km. I would be delighted with the cost savings if the oil change can be done at 15,000 km intervals.

The statement under the bonnet refer to the use of FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL as recommended by toyota. The common practice in Malaysia to have their oil change every 5000km is because they use the normal non synthetic oil.

I am about to buy a 2001 2.4 liters Harrier. The colorful interactive screen is very impressive and high tech. In fact, it's one of the main attractions over the other harriers on offer.
The buttons immediately below the screen are also in Japanese.
May I know if there are translations of what's displayed on the screen and what each of the buttons are for?
Thanks.

I am looking to buy a Harrier, but there are so many variants that I am confused. I heard that the HP output for the 3.0 and the 2.4 are almost the same, due to the VVTI. Is that true? And the pricing, for a 1999/2001 model the difference between cars can be up to RM30K, what am I missing here.
There is ofcourse a difference of power between the Harrier 2.4 and 3.0. The 2.4 version produces 160 hp and the 3.0 is V6 producing 220 hp and 222 lb-ft of torque (304 Nm).I own the 3.0 version and its great to drive, but I have also driven the 2.4 and its quite entertaining though not as much as the 3.0. At mid rpms you can really feel the difference between the two.
I have imported a harrier v6 1998 model about 10 monts ago. my problem is I am getting a straviation problem and I cannot find the gas filter. can you help me to locate it?
