Hi all
Just thought i'd join to share my story so far. We have a Prado Nov 06 GXL, bought from new, never been off road, full service history and my wife uses for carting the kids around, i use it a couple of times a year to tow my boat very short distances.
Anyway, the other day the motor seized up while stationery at the traffic lights, there were no warning lights or nothing. The company that usually service it are baffled, so i've had it towed to Toyota for a second opinion, they are currenly opening up the motor (6hrs work at $160 per hour at my cost) to tell me what has happened. Will inform the forum of the results.
They tell me it can only be one of three things. Poor servicing; issue due to off road driving; or faulty Toyota part.
As i said i have FSH and never been off roading, does anyone think i can build a case against Toyota for this??
any comments appreciated! thanks
