Check the fuel supply, the fuel pump, lines, filter, and consider having a diagnostic check done by a dealer.

The Holden Trailblazer is built in the General Motors Rayong facility in Thailand.

There have been a lot of problems with the auto transmission in that model, so contact Ford and request help with replacing the transmission. I wouldn’t take the transmission out before you get an answer from Ford, as they might ask you to take it to a Ford dealer for inspection. Taking the ’box out could compromise your case.

The LDV T60 is made in Wixu, China, by Maxus which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chinese automotive company SAIC Motor.

You would like to think it is accurate. Check the speed using a GPS, and then adjust the overspeed setting to compensate for whatever error it shows.

The damage was done by one of the dealers, not BMW itself, so you have to work out which dealer it was that did it and when it was done and then attempt to negotiate a settlement with that dealer.

If you have solid proof of who did it then perhaps take it to the consumer affairs people in NSW and ask for their help.

With the LDV T60 only being launched locally in November 2017 many upgrades are still being developed by Australia's off-road aftermarket segment. Keep an eye out at popular 4x4 accessory shops, as parts to fit these Chinese-made utes come on the market.

It could be due to bad fuel. Run it out as best you can, or drain the tank, and refill with fresh fuel from another servo, preferably one that sells a lot of fuel so you can be confident the fuel is fresh.

If it still does it then look for other causes, such as fuel filter, fuel pump, air filter, throttle body, spark plugs.

While under-powered on-road the LDV T60 is regarded as being fairly adept at off-road driving. The top-spec T60 Luxe comes with in-cabin-switchable drive modes, including 2-high, 4-high, and 4-low-range, and also features hill descent control.

The damage to the clutch was caused by you driving it for a kilometre instead of immediately calling for a tow truck. I doubt that you would get anywhere with the supplier.
