Well...
Got ute serviced at Toyota 4X4XMORE Salisbury.
When I picked it up, I was driving up the street, and checked the log in the Scangauge to see how it had been driven on it's road test, couldn't believe it!
Some of the stand out figures were (Max RPM 4275) (Max Speed 112km/h) (Distance 3.3km) (Avg Consumption 36.4l/100km) !!!
Immediately rang and notified the service guys of what I had discovered, they apologised, and assured me they would be speaking to the responsible technician. Crazy thing is, you can't legally do 112km/h within 3.3km of that dealership! Not to mention the whole redlining of my car etc.
Then, sqeauling noise developed from engine between 2-2300rpm, I tell them about this also, and they offer to collect it from my work to rectify the next day.
This has been fixed, turned out to be a misfitted hose clamp or something, they also appear to have given my car a quick wash whcih was nice, anyway, will be going back to Sci-Fleet at Albion in future, never had a drama there, only went to Motorama because it was convenient to work, but I'd rather drive the bit further out of the way for good service, they always rotate my tyres and align the steering for nothing aswell.
Just thought I'd tell my story.
PS. No abnormal cold start noise was detected apparently.
