    It seems to be the bolts that hold the rotors to the hubs. They are being replaced with higher tensile bolts and being done up tighter.

    For me, all my mates own toyotas cruisers and crapluxs, and they enjoy giving me a bit of stick.

    therefore this information is useful for me as it highlights the fact no car is perfect...

    which i reiterate to them in overt ways

    I find this site good source of info for things even not land rover related.

    Never been in one - but most of those things around here belch vast amounts of black diesel exhaust - recall the owners and get em to clean out their air filters.......

    That's exactly why I posted it here mns=488, alot of my mates drive toyota's and I have had great fun with it putting the wind up them in the last 48 hours. Some of them really sh#t themselves. They really could not believe something like this could be happening to the mighty landcruiser.

    That's just it isn't it most Toyota driver's think their cars are fault-less when confronted with this and weak front diffs and soft suspension they are speach-less.

    1 better,

    I got great enjoyment in going to the motor show with my toyota mates and walk around the toyota area showing them how much their vehicles have NOT changed in decades. And ask them why they pay 60-80 grand for a cruiser that has technology years old.

    Then take them to land rover and show them what advancement is

    You can show them what you like, you can inform them as much as you want, if they don't have an open mind, if they aren't critical thinkers then it don't matter they will plonk their money down for the next model of toyota or nissan or ford or holden whatever has they're brand loyalty.

    lucky for salesmen men are tribal and loyal to the traditions of their forefathers, make sit easier to sell what they have even if it doesn't stack up against the competition.

    the vehicles that die out do partially because they are crap and deserve to die but mainly because their manufacturer had no brand loyalty.

    why people become brand loyal is a mystery as equally as mysterious as their inherent unwillingness to change brands.

    personally l only like and eat Arnott scotch finger biscuits, my mother tried substituting them for Westons scotch fingers and even worse black & gold scotch fingers, even trying the old trick of taking the biscuits out of the wrappers and into the biscuit tin.

    I have owned 3 Nissans since 1984, 2 diesel turbo 1 petrol, now have the range rover which l have spent more money in servicing and repairing costs than the 3 nissans put together but l still prefer to drive it to any of the Nissans and put the expenditure down to thats the way it is.
