Hi all just found the site and looks great.
Ok now down to the issue you have been discussing about the LC200 using oil. I have been fighting with Toyota for over 2 years about this issue and mine is suppose to be the worse in WA using around 600ml per 1,000 last time I got Toyota to add oil. Toyota are about to tell everyone that oil consumption is normal from 1 litre per 8,000klm normal driving but if you do the speed limit, or tow something regardless of weight, or drive to slow using 4wd then TOYOTA are calling this and I quote their "Dealer Hand Out January 2011" "Severe Conditions". This then means that YOU may have to pay for the oil which you could use 1 litre every 5,000klm.
So guys it looks like Toyota don't still have a fix and hundreds of us hard working Ozzies have been done by buying this model at this stage. Don't get me wrong I love mine it out performs everything in 4wd land, but at what cost to the motor which uses truck loads of oil.....and WHY??
Hopefully all those that have had problems will make a post at my site which I have started because of the arrogance of Toyota to fob me and hundreds of others off. In the next week or two some annoyamous person has said they will "secretly" e-mail me the internal memo from Toyota....that will be interesting to read and I will post it up for all to see if I get it?
Anyway hopefully "Admin" here will give me a genuine go and leave my post I have read the terms and I have not breached any membership issues that I am aware of?
If anyone wants to contact me direct email me (yes it's actually real) ohwhatalemon@hotmail.com or see the site I made at www.ohwhatalemon.com
Thanks for reading and I hope for all our sakes we have not bought a LC200 LEMON?? Regards Geoff
