We're always having it rammed down our throats how reliable these Jap cars are. Well, a friend has a Toyota Celicia, still under warranty - just.
So far its had new gear box, and steering box and is now having the engine replaced because it's burning oil. Apparently this is a common problem because the blocks have been over bored. The dealer eventually admitted this and also that Toyota were trying to avoid going public on a recall. If you know anyone who's got one of these and its using oil tell them to get it into the dealer pronto.
Customer Service - while in there she overheard one of the service staff actually telling another customer that this was perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.
Now her husband is a real Land Rover man and *we* know that only LR's loose oil NORMALLY.
