I heard recently from a very good source that there are 5 late model LR's at the local dealer that they can't sort,owners won't give their loan cars back,want a refund for their vehicles.


And as for our work vans,they all go to the Tojo,local dealer,never had an issue.In fact,the four i have at the moment,two have close to 300K on them,never had an issue.They run all day,fully loaded,almost on GVM.

If you lived around here (or a one either side) you’d say exactly the same thing about Toyota dealers [emoji48]

And Holden dealers, and Jeep dealers!!

Was going to yes☺

Of course the dealer charged that. As soon as he heard warranty he was all over the gravy train. Disappointing obviously. It pushes everyone’s premiums up.

That’s it hey!
Insurance assessors need to be more vigilant in some things (and less aggressive in others)..

They’re so uneducated. Low paying job, untrained to modern LR standards. They have little chance of stopping it sadly

I had a Prado, nice car, but doesn't stir the soul to drive like the D4 does. Reliable, kinda, but google Prado Diff club. I did my rear diff turning around in my yard and the dealer had the nerve to accuse me of fitting an aftermarket rear diff lock that caused the crown wheel to shear teeth off. BTW, i had a Kakadu with the factory rear locker and had 82,000 km on it.

Wow , I had a read of the prado diff club. Seems the accepted fix amongst the faithful is to fork out for twin lockers. Full credit to Toyota they replaced the diffs under warranty , even 3 times on 1 car. The faithful certainly have a different approach to other owners , but Toyota seem to be far better at solving issues than L/R from what I have read.
