HI All
I need some advice from you all.
I recently bought a 2005 120 Series Prado with 347,00 on the clock but found out that the dealer (Manjimup Toyota) had bought the vehicle as a trade in broken as the engine was cooked and then rebuilt the engine and sold it to me, After having it for 4 moths i did the service after 10,00 as it was due and the n headed out 4WD one afternoon when the engine started making a noise. After being towed home (Thanks RAC WA) the motor was taken out and it was found that number 3 piston was damaged. It had only done 437 kms after service was done.
Manjimup Toyota rebuilt the motor as from what i can ascertain they worked on the top end but didn't touch the bottom end or so im told.
SO my dilemma are what do i do.
1 x Rebuild my existing Motor
2 x Replace it with another motor
3 x With no warranty do i take Toyota to task even through legal action to get them to rebuild as i would expect the motor to last longer than what it has.
Any thoughts or suggestion welcome.
Regards
