We're Doing It....!! A new Lola

[Lola Beatle]

Lola Beatle the (almost) trusty D3 HSE V8 is leaving the familiy for a D4 TDV6, obviously not new, 2011 with 80,000km, Dark Gray, ARB Bull Bar, UHF etc. pretty stock actually...

Bit nervous about the change in engine size (4.4 to 2.7) but I guess all the feedback on the site gives us a fair degree of confidence

We'll welcome "Lola Too" to the family in Brisbane tomorrow afternoon (Confident the War Office will approve)

Excited, Nervous & Broke....but looking forward to the possibilities

Hi Lola Beatle


The new vehicle looks very nice. Have lots of fun.

Ouch...Just spoke to previous owner, replaced under Warranty 2 HP Fuel Pumps & complete wiring loom?
Says since these works he has had no issues in the last 5 months

With no factory warranty left, we're a bit concerned

Any thoughts?

Enjoy the new ride.Ask your local dealer to see if you can buy extended warranties.Would be surprised if you cant.

Would be surprised if you can. Barbagallo won't sell you one unless the original warranty has not already expired. ;)

G'Day All

It's Her car now & I'm stuck with the work ute!

Condition of the vehicle exceeded our expectation, except for the missing new car smell she is perfect.

Drives and handles a lot smoother than old Lola, haven't noticed any real "lack" of power in normal driving along the Warrego Highway, did notice a bit of a difference in tourqe pulling up the hills (Diesel pulls a lot smoother without changing down) & returned 10lt - 100km on the run back to Miles

Suprised at the creature comforts in the base model compared to the HSE, no noticable inconvenience.

Dealer offered a warranty conditional on using thier workshop services for all work & services...too far from Miles (or Darwin) to be effective...

Noticed some uneven wear beginning on front LH Tyre - will get it looked at locally to see if it has any serious conotations, will take her to Comet Motors in Brisbane for a complete health check before statutory warranty expires.

Planning for an Xmas Drive to the West (now we need to by a Camper Trailer)
