Hello - I am a Toyota owner of 5 years. We have a Verso 5/7 seater. It was all going fine until early this year the oil light went on a lot and we have to fill up. We had it fully serviced (40.000 miles) and thought it was sorted. That was 6 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago I was driving alone on M5 with 3 kids and the engine blew up. Long story later it has ended up at Currie motors, Richmond (where it was serviced and bought from) and they say it's nothing to do with them. The car needs new engine which they say is £7500 (more than car is worth I think). I am stuck with a Shell and a massive bill which is not covered by insurance. I am really hoping for some advice on where to get a cheaper new engine and then how to sell the car as I am afraid I am comletely feeling let down by the whole Toyota brand (Toyota GB say they have nothing to offer us to help us - despite saying that the service would never have solved any problem which makes me think that the engine iteslf must have originally been faulty). I know you are all Toyota owners and therefore love the brand so I am hoping you will help me salvage a very very costly problem. I also need to find solution quickly as it's sitting at Currie Motors who want me to decide what to do.
