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.

Re. fuel consumption, so far the best with my Tdci with the Steinbaur chip is 9.0 l/100km and the worst was 10.8, while towing the camper trailer at 100-110 into a headwind. I'm very happy with that.

Except that there are mechanics in virtually every small town who work on Toyotas.

You miss the point. Not talking about "dealers", just the average mechanic in a remote area. Why, I would not take my D2 to a mechanic in Brisbane if I didn't think he/ she was switched on to Land Rovers. One of our members doing the big trip , in west Aus., having starting problems, was told by a mechanic in a reputable shop, his fuel pump needed replacing. 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.
