TBH, the only reason I've ever felt Toyota's are classed as more reliable is purely because they are more forgiving of missed services. Most British cars are very sensitive to this and will spit the dummy out if you go beyond. Much like an Aga. Ever miss a service on one of them? Biggest mistake ever. Cost about 5 times as much to put it right. :doh:
I had a 300 TDI Disco in once for a burst intercooler hose,it had 207,000m on the clock.A quick look at the oil filter showed it had done 51,000m since I had last changed it.(Owner was a copper - worse than farmers,builders and tree surgeons for abusing cars IMO)It is all engine design, some engines are more robust to dirty oil than others. When I was a mech a customer dragged their Carolla (I know a Carolla Vs a Range Rover isn't exactly a fair test, but in the end the are still engines) in suspecting a headgasket failure as it had mayo in the oil. He hadn't serviced it for 40k, the mayo turned out to be condensation in the oil. We carried out a fair few tests to make sure there wasn't any cracks and all came up negative. Sure there was some wear in places from running filth but I doubt you could get away with running a RR or a Jag for 40k on dirty oil. It would **** the bed.
If Data is that fed up I'm guessing he will soon be leaving us and moving on to the Toyota club ?
We might get some peace and quiet on here then ? Lol
We're comparing a Toyota to a range rover here
A Toyota will have half the amount of electrical gizmos that a range rover would have so of course they will be more reliable in comparison
My headlining is still tight like a gymnasts arse.
You've got a gymnasts arse covered in discoloured leather..!??So is mine
Just the leather has lost some colour :S lol

Better go see the qwack with that one Hippo!!
Toyota's don't have headlinings that descend around your ears at 11 years old, so it ain't just the gismo's
So, That's the foam on the heater air intake done, the pollen filter drains done, anti mouse guards made and fitted to the lower intake holes, new pollen filters fitter and the covers sealed, "O" rings done and the dash re-built with broken bits replaced or repaired, carpet washed and dried, spare manufacturing parts removed from channel under kick plate and loom damage repaired, diff oil checked, transfer box oil checked, props greased, brake pads checked, engine oile & filter changed, fuel filter changed, leak off pipes changed, inlet manifold, pipes etc removed and cleaned, re-fitted with new "O" rings.
A full service on the Galloper took a couple of hours, on a P38 it's timed in days.
Still got the headlining to do
You love it really!
For sure I'll never buy another.
