There is no more dealer support for Toyota's in the bush than any other make,if something goes wrong all the ''dealers'' do is order a truck to Perth or order the parts they never have ex Japan. Pat

This is true. Dealers hold minimal inventory nowdays and order most stuff in as required. This is as true of Toyota as anyone else. LRs are no different.Quote:

Two fuel pumps later, still with a problem, he approached the local independent LR dealer, Redcliffe, to be told it was a simple membrane on top of the fuel filter. Fixed, at a fraction of the cost. Every second vehicle out west is a Toyota. The maintenance network favours Toyota, mechanics know Toyota. Any one who doesn't recognise that, is in denial. Bob
Havent heard of an independant Land Rover dealer in Redcliffe Bob.
Us WA folk may like to know who or where he is.

...and what an awesome opportunity for Land Rover! ...with a reborn Defender...one day...which no doubt will take the work vehicle market in the bush and mining industries by storm! :(...won't it?? ...and lots of city cars purporting to be bush ready...:confused: ...a brilliant plan...true to Land Rover heritage of adventure! Perfect! and there's a greatly expanded service network coming...isn't there?! ...what is there to be worried about? What Toorak Tractor?Quote:

Might be a bit far for you WA folk to travel. ;)
Just for those who have not already realised it, there is a Redcliffe in Qld, as well as WA. Lots of duplicated place names in Australia!
