Re: D4D Death
The important consideration here is ATTITUDE! I have not indicated i wish to CON Toyota into acccepting a warrantly claim. I know its outside statutory warranty of course. What i have asked of the dealer is to discuss with Toyota the fact that a D4D engine that is built on reliability... (unbreakable in a hilux?) expires at 97K. I fully expect that they will point the finger at someone else in order to deny liability, but its not liability that is in question. Its Toyota's response to the phrase that is offered by EVERYONE i tell the story to... " I have never heard of a Toyota Diesel crapping itself at 97k! " or " gee... you would reckon a diesel would last longer than that!"" or " at 97K?... i would understand something like that happening at 297K! "
So be assured nobody is screaming WARRANTY... i am simply placing myself in the hands of the manufacturer of a product built on the grounds of reliability, and seeking their ASSISTANCE... whatever that may be... if its nothing.. then so be it... I will have to wear it.. ...if Toyota show INTEREST and make some form of attempt to resolve it with some contribution..then faith will be restored and i will most likely buy another one!
So,, its a wait and see....
