Help Gu Getting hot!

No F@!@K@!@ng wonder, Extra 3t of CHIT to carry around, HA Ha.

5+ ton with trailer if I remember correctly..

Gawd!, Hope he has broad shoulders. Luv his attiitude.

If you stole what is left of the basic vehicle out from under Roachie's accessories would he notice anything was wrong before he tried to start it?

Wait till you see Lucy's list.

Jesus Roachie ..l had to stop reading your list...l was getting a head ache with envy......( l need you to talk to my wife...please please..)After 24 yrs of marriage l still have'nt worked out how to twist her little finger.. :( :(

and just think Govo, if you would have killed her instead of marrying her, you would have been able to spend your money years ago, you dont get 24 yrs for murder!

Somebody tell 'im 'e's dreamin'!
If you think your local Toyota dealer won't pull the same stunt you're living in loo-loo land.
I won't bother going into details, but a mate was thoroughly screwed by a local Tojo dealer on his near new 100 series over "unacceptable mods"- to the tune of eight and a half thousand dollars in repairs.

It's ALL makes and models. It mostly depends on the individual dealer.
If you modify ANY vehicle under warranty- tread very carefully indeed, if you want the warranty to hold.

Hardly worth responding Flash.
I did state that this is only one man's experience, but this one man has had to fight for vehicle repairs on two Nissan vehicles under warranty to no avail, but the one vehicle I needed Toyota to fix it was over and above what I would have expected.
Hence my disgust at Nissan and my Praise for Toyota in terms of warranty. Again I reinterate this is just my experience.

Make that two Trevor,had some warranty work done at Toyota the other day and all I can say that I was wrapped,they couldnt have been more helpful.
With mods I do to the cruiser,I just ring uo the service manager and get the ok from him to do it.

Why would a dealer want to get out of a warranty claim on a new vehicle?
It doesn't cost the dealer anything, the manufacturer pays a set labour rate for the repairs.
I was in the retail side of the motor trade for 17 years & we never tried to avoid any genuine warranty claim. You all seem to think that all dealers are rogues, well I'll tell you now, that some of the stunts pulled by buyers with their trade-ins would make any dealer look like a paragon of virtue! You only have to read some of the posts here.
You put yourselves in the dealers position, any plumbers out there? what would you do if you did a job, that was subsequently altered by another plumber & then the client called you to complain about your work??? Your reply to the client would consist of 7 letters, starting & ending in 'F' .......... What is the difference?

There warranty would cover the work they had done( labour - parts) - would not cover other parts of the car that they had no control over ..

Boc

Ahhhhh,

And this is where the rub hits home!!!!!!! The aftermarket-parts supplier will say that the problem is caused by original equipment issues (= "go see dealer"); whilst dealer will say problem is caused because you mucked around with the vehicle (= "go see the aftermarket supplier/fitter").

I reckon this is the impass that we last heard was happening with the Tojo 100 series IFS breakages, as they almost all occured on ARB-fitted vehicles from memory.

Not sure how that all panned out.....seemed to die a natural death and no more reports on this forum of broken IFS cruisers for some considerable time.

Cheers

Roachie

when the bracket for my longrange tank broke and as a result the tank was damaged (cracked) LRA didn't want to know about it because it was the vehicle manufactures bracket that failed and Holden didn't want to know about it because i had a long range tank hanging off the original bracket! It was a loose loose situation.

Good advice Macca172. It is frustrating when the marketing for 4wds shows the vehicle going off road, being unbreakable (Hilux) etc etc, and all the 4wd experts in the mags say the first things to do is change the tyres and add aftermarket suspension etc. Yet each group wants to walk away from any responsibility to their product. I will contact Nissan and see what their position is.

Cheers

Scooter,

Let my know how you get on with Nissan, as Im thinking about buying the new Nivara ST-X diesel in the next few months. I have no intentions at this stage to carry out any mod's that would effect the suspension. Maybe the stock tyres would be the first thing to go.
