Well Toyota NZ says all should be ok. Although on startup it now seems to make little tapping noises. Will keep a ear out for these to see what happens. Was a bit of a shock - a loud 'bang' from motor, and then it was dead. And the head parts ended up in the sump! I saw motor in bits, and parts being found. As said, one dealership has had 3 of these motors do this, so not a one off. Maybe they have an assembly oddment.

I would have been happier for dealer to call and say "your car is ok, but we decided to replace it" At 460 km, would have been a good call.
