Might be worth checking with your house insurance if you have legal cover, I once sued a previous employer with my house insurance.

So basically it’s their fault but not all of it shame this country has in this case poor consumer protection a class action law suit has been filed in the USA for post recall failures it’s that bad over there

Thats not the outcome we was all hoping for. Sadly i had the same thing with my problem where they footed most of the bill not all of it. Mine was not as expensive as yours so i didn't involve a solicitor etc and settled. I did chase them further but all communication i got at that point was that that once the decision is made it was final on their part. Be intersting to hear how you get on from here. I wish you the best luck. Did you get a courtesy car? If you have a dealer asset they may help you chase to get it reaolved asap.

£50 plus postage.

Dug through my receipts and checked, it's the 2nd one you listed - I got the HSB 072 for £129.

Latest update. So after a month now and emails and calls back and forth with me basically chasing for what the hell is going on this is the latest. Basically Toyota as a 'gesture of goodwill' have reduced the price of the fix from 16K to 7K! They are claiming that as its been over a year since the recall ( even though only 2k miles has been put on it since ) they are not taking full responsibility even though I was told it was technician error with the timing chain not being put back on correctly. I have spoken to a local solicitors who said I could have a case but I would need to have a competent independent automotive engineer assessor look at the engine before I proceed basically. In the meantime I have complained directly to the Customer Services Director basically arguing my case as it's quite frankly absurd this 'gesture of goodwill' Currently a Specialist Case Manager is looking into this fiasco and will get back to me asap.
