Fellas,
Had the hilux go in for its 120,000 service. I had just done a 1500km round trip, easy highway driving. I always look over my car before and after,and this time found a leak from front seal of transfer case output shaft- so I asked Toyota to check it out.
So the service cost me $520- oil change, diff oil change, oil filter, air con filter, air filter- not cheap!!
They also pointed out the oil leak, and also the water pump was leaking. I asked about warrenty- fella said "na it ran out over 12 months ago". Was quoted just shy of $1000 for seal and water pump. $650 of that is labour!!!!!
So I asked the question again about warrenty for the water pump- my commodore did over 200,000km before new water pump. Anyway he went to head office, and they accepted my claim- parts and half labour for water pump. So my total bill now will be approx <$500.
Made my day
