Title: A Neighbour
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 30 November 2007, 20:26:54
Was telling me today that he nearly bought a 3.0 Omega last year but the garage told him they have a lot of trouble with the rear axle, so he bought a Toyota Avensis instead.
He was telling me that he had been told by the Toyota Garage to not let his battery in his key run down because if so it costs £1500 to have it done :o

Well i have never read a post on here saying they have lots of problems with the back axle!!!!!

I asked the Bloke are you sure you can't just put a new battery in?
He said I asked that and they said I would need a whole unit :o

You would be better off havin an Omega mate :y

Well the garage did have a point... I bet the Avensis has no problems whatsoever with the rear axle...  ;D

At that price if Omega batterys cost the same, when they went flat you could just throw the car away and buy a replacement meega :y
