Originally posted by RyanIAm View PostHad a face to face meeting with the DP and SM yesterday. They basically said hands are tied and have to follow the process that TMCA sets out, but the DP was going to go above the technical field managers to get a successful outcome.
For those playing along at home, a conference was held yesterday between technical support at TMCA and a number of technical field managers to try to work out what else it could be. I think they will want the vehicle for further examination which should trigger a replacement. I'm sick of the stress and worry and waiting! Hopefully I find out some more positive news today. I'm overseas next week so at least they will have plenty of time to source a new car (I stipulated I want one fresh off the truck that has not been cannabalised) and move all my bits across and organise tinting etc. I'll also be asking for free toyota roadside to be thrown in.

Then he would sort out the shit fight with Toyota in his own time , not the customers . It wouldn't be the first time the dealer has come across a lemon .2010 150 Glacier White GXL D4D Auto

Some technical info i have received about current troubleshooting:
“With a rapid drop in fuel pressure shown in the snap shot it could be Pressure Discharge Valve dumping fuel from the common rail hence please clamp the return line from the common rail or disconnect it to see if there is a large amount of fuel return. Clamping the return hose from the rail can rule out the possibility swarf jamming the valve open”. This we did (many times over) and has made no difference.

Well today I got the car back. Second replacement fuel pump and ECU appears to have done the trick.
I've asked for some extras as compensation. Car runs well and all seems fine. I went over it with a fine toothed comb before agreeing to take delivery of it. Car was detailed and had a full tank of fuel on pickup. Fingers crossed many KM of trouble free motoring awaits
At the end of the day, i'm glad to have a Prado back. Feels so much more refined than the SR5 and smoother on the road, not to mention how quiet the 2.8 is. I'll be sure to report back here if anything else related happens...

I was discussing the 2.8 Prado with a few guys from the local dealer. They say it feels ok in the Hilux but is a gutless dog in the Prado? Do you think it lacks oomph Ryan?[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]
