Lorries not the only things fitted with these pointless trinkets, if you happen to own a facelift 2012-on Jaguar XF and a front indicator LED blows you can kiss goodbye to £1000 for a complete headlight unit fitted.No doubt some enterprising soul will come up with a work around, and you would happily stand your Jag for a week while said chap works his magic on your otherwise perfect headlight unit, but can you afford to stand your lorry for a week for something like this that should never have been fitted in the first place.
Someone send Mr Akio Toyoda a message for pete’s sake…
Hurry up and sort the Hino range out for the UK, there must be massive potential for a return to more simple and durable ‘it wasn’t broke so we didn’t fix it’ designs.
I have no intention of moving away from my older Japanese cars for similar reasons, they just keep on going, and when things need fixing? well they were designed to be fixed in the field in the first place.
You’ll approve of my mk 5 Transit then?
