This is my first post.
Ordered my D4D GXL on the 3/2/07 and picked it up from adelaide dealer on 14/4/07.
Salesman showing me and the wife the car on sat morning.
He lifted the bonnet to explain a few things when I saw a wire hanging near the air cleaner box, it was supposed to be connected to the airflow meter,someone forgot to reconnect after fitting air con.
Well done on the p.d. and road test boys(not).
Started engine and engine check light on,salesman was very embarrsed and told me to drive around to service dept.
Fault sorted immediaty and so it should have been. I had just handed over the big fat cheque.
Anyway got home and went over my new baby with a fine toothed comb to find more things not right:
1.air con pipe in front of condenser bent(I straightened it out )
2.air con bracket near air cleaner not fitted correctly.
3. screw in rear no. plate cross threaded result no plate rattles.
4. compliance plate fitted upside down.
5. rear door dropped slightly.
All minor faults but very sloppy workmanship!!!!!!!!!!
Fitted my own soverign bull bar, toyota tow bar ,head light protectors, bonnet protectors and rear sun guard.
Noted all these faults to get sorted at first service.
Anyway have done 2100km. Time to get first done.
Booked in for today at 9.30am told wife it would take about an hour with faults listed (pre booked for over a week).
Three houres later (gave her a loaner and told her to come back).
When I came home from work I went to see what had been done, here we go:
1.compliance plate turned around but the idiot left all the metal filings over the brake booster.
2. rear no plate checked, they are replacing the assembly as captive nut is turning (have to order).
Now this leads to the tailgate adjustment.
I have never seen such a rough as guts bodgey job in my whole life. Tailgate hard very hard to open now,jams up and wont open sometimes, hammer marks on striker and lock + paint missing on hinge bolts (rough p^&%)
Not happy at all. Going straight down there tommorow morning.
Somone is going to get there n%$# cut off.
Apart from these problems great vehicle to drive, heaps of go for a diesel.
Excellent on fuel approx' 1550kms on first tank. Still on 2nd one now.
Also exellent build quality.
Well I may have bored the hell out of you all,but this my story so far.
Will let you all know how I go...
