What to do? Brand new bike faulty

[ducatilover]

Lol what? 5k for injectors?

Google it, the later model 3L D4D Toyotas are horrid things, injector seals, injector pumps etc etc heaps of failures, some incredibly expensive.
Buy a Toyota mate...real reliable...

As ducatilover says, big issues with those 3L diesel utes. Dad has them for his construction managers, thankfully they're on lease and they have to replace the injectors. The lease company is now also aware of the issues.

When using the Hilux to compare between brands... yeap, doesn't stack up and not the most reliable of the options. The Toyota continues to sell because of the brand.

3 new engines in my 07 Hilux....

Take the scooter back.

I have a 100cc Peugeot does 85kmh all good to go! You can have it for $900 delivered

You can hire them on per 20min, 30min or 60min basis. Happy ending guaranteed

as long as your "toast"doesnt come out brown....

one of the women I work with had a cambelt go in her VW Golf last night.

not due to be replaced for another 7000km. tensioner let go which took out the belt or something.

thats why they are called a golf

when the cambelt goes,you get a hole in one

aaahh hahahahahahaha

I had a mk1 GTI and a mk2GTI no issues with their particular engines, bloody good I recon. Did have a wierd issue with the altenator in the mk2, the long bolts that hold the alt together came out, somehow, and once they hit the little fan blades of the alt they snapped and flew up into the bonnet, made 3 or 4 nice little dents pointing upwards in the bonnet. always ran tho!

If they refuse take them to the Small claims court and I bet they will cough up then!

The bike is not fit for purpose they are not designed to be pushed home!

disputes tribunal = more stress. trust me. solve it (if you can) by other means. I don't see whats so hard, if you bought it brand spanking new,, and OP is utterly honest that the break down/ poor workmanship isnt OP's fault (perhaps due to being mechanically ignorant) just ask for refund. easy peasy. although it dose sound like there are some fault with the bike...

I just dont see how "brand new" bike could have that many faults.. LML Belladonnas been around for forever.. IF you are saying the bike is "brand new" because it had low mileage and technically 2nd hand bike, asking for a refund wouldnt be that easy..

Next time, buy the real thing...

Not a crappy Indian clone.

A few guys at work have been saying just that.. A Friday bike.

After they fixed it last time it has been running great for 2 days... Hopefully there isn't much left to break.

If it breaks again read this which is about a Fair Go story about returns, which was on a few weeks ago.

They also wrote a sample rejection letter

The last was a Toyota ute, it was on its third set of injectors, they failed every 40,000km and cost $5k each time and it was on its second clutch when I sent it back..

I am still on my first set at 130,000km with no trouble. Diesel Maintenance in Whangarei tell me to do the seals, but that is to stop diesel leaking into the sump. The injectors are not serviceable. I had the clutch done at about 55,000km.

Lol what? 5k for injectors?

They are $800 each plus fitting

Doesn't sound right fella, I know many people with these utes incl myself and yes the clutches are crap from new, and they can have dud injectors but the motors are good as.

I had one of the first of the new shape when they came out, it went back at around 110,000km on the original injectors but had one clutch at 60,000 and another one about 100,000

Best ute I have had so far

Sorry I have nothing nice to say about my lowlux Toyota ute. It has been the most unreilyable and expensive to fix POS vehicle I have ever owned.

I still have my old series V8 landrover. Not only is it more reilyable, its a much better and stronger 4WD and by the time I factor in the price of the repairs it costs 50% $/km costs of the Toyota.

Add to that, the Slowlux is very much down on power/torque. That nice ST-X450 Navara on the other hand...107nm more, same price, doesn't look stupid. I fail to see why the Hilux sells, compared to what else is on offer, it's shit.

because they are just as shit, Navara STX (not the 450 the one before) our one, 2 fuel rails before, and 3 sets of disc's before 100,000km's, brought a warranty for it and claimed on it 3 times before 150,000km's, tail gate fell apart which they would not fix under warranty, would never get one again,

the other ute was a BT50 on the other hand had no problems with, and hte new BT50/Ranger is awesome, heaps of grunt, bit bigger than the normal utes, only problem is they are a bit tall and harder to put bikes on the back,

I've never heard of the issues with the Navara, but I sit/stand corrected
Those Ranger/BT50s are a fairly decent rig to drive too.

It's incredible how a brand new ute can suffer so many issues these days, we've had a shitty 2Y engined Hilux for years, all it has needed is tyres and oil changes.
