There is a bit to see around the district. Is there no hire vehicles there?

If you paying Toyota pricing for a centre.
Why not pay less and have an Auto Locker Centre put in there instead.
Stronger. and cheaper.
Plus gives 200% more traction when needed.
Bearings and shafts OK??.

Toyota had serviced it 16000 km ago fitted CV rubbers as it was leaking oil and serviced , appears to have leaked oil and it ran low of oil this time . Very good mechanic here , Ulti Mech. John, We've had a hire car since we've been here.

Not Picking. But 10k Services would have picked up the leak then (earlier)
And "possibly" prevented.
Servicing IS Important when working your vehicles.
More so than when just driving round home.
Get used to the habit.
Less will happen. Sorry you had the problem mate.
