LDV G10

Bought a G10 and found rust in weird spots. contacted the dealer and we were allowed to take it to our own panel beaters for repairs. The panel beaters would not quote as the rust is in spots that are in areas where they cannot warrant the return. Spots to look for rust are - under the side door seals at the top by roof - bottoms of the doors where there are drain holes - rear door when open at the top left and right - front panel join in front of side rear view mirror - there are other areas as well just look around. I first noticed this about...Read more

I don't actually own an LDV, but a friend of mine that doesn't bother using the internet does, and I'm writing this on his behalf because I'm outraged for him and think his story needs to be here.
He purchased a LDV G10 (should be called a C3 in my opinion; C3 meaning: Cheap, Chinese, Crap!), in August 2018. Just over one year of ownership, the van has spent over three months back at the dealership, for issues they can't fix and have claimed as "general wear and tear", but the most disturbing, is the fact that he has serious amounts of rust ...Read more

Bought the 9 seat G10 in Nov 17 & haven’t looked back since. The only issue we’ve had was a loose bolt on the slide door bracket which was an easy self fix with a shifter. Very spacious vehicle for both people & luggage & great for transporting kids & their friends. Seats are really comfortable like armchairs for that long distance drive. Engine has never missed a beat & worked perfectly with great fuel economy. We bought two ldv’s for the price of one people mover from the competition with the same & more bells and whistles than others offer, ...Read more

I purchased our G10 Turbo Diesel with a 6 speed manual primarily for a Getaway van that can carry our surfboards and SUPS. In one year I have travelled 34,000 klm trouble free with some amazing economy of 6.9L/100klm. My wife uses it to haul her goods to the markets as well and seems to carry loads well. (Max loads to date 550 kg)The motor is a gem and has surprising amounts of power for a van. I purchased it after positive feedback from an Undertaker who travels over 50,000 klms a year and was in the process of picking up his 2nd one from the ...Read more

I have had the car (or should say purchased the Van) 3 months ago - it has yet to need to be refilled so under 600Klm.
Van has been back for several small issues
BUT
I found rust in the car - I never would have purchased this car with the rust it has in it - I as an Australian Consumer under LAW have every right to a refund - check out the QLD government site to see this is true. The dealer based in Ipswich refused - ? Yep breaking the law is okay with them. They blamed LDV again read the law they can not do this.
I am a small business so have...Read more

My family and I love going out together, so we decided to purchase a 7 seater. The 7 seater we first got was so hard to get in and out of so I decided to look into purchasing another that was easier to get in and out of. After months of searching we came across the LDV G10 people mover. Its so big inside, with ample room for everyone and luggage too. We got a special edition with leather seats, a pull down usb tv player, it has usb points all over the place so you can keep everybody,s devices charged at all times. All seats slide forwards ...Read more

I bought this van (7 seater 2.0lt T) to replace my 1995 HiAce sbv and as other people have said, you can't buy any brand name van with 2 to 300,000klm on the clock for the same money. My g10 was an airport shuttle between Brisbane and the coast and had 94.000klms on it when I bought it. The van now has 108,000klm on it (7000klm on a trip carrying a bike) and I have really come to like it. I changed all the fluids and filters when I got it and the van has been problem free. Fuel economy on the highway is better than the HiAce (around 9lt/100klm)...Read more

I bought the 2015 2.0 petrol Turbo automatic in mid 2016 and have since done 160,000km. Almost 2000km every week, fuel economy is fairly good as I usually fill 80 liters of 98 premium fuel and get a minimum of 700km out of the tank. Vehicle has not given me any issues since warranty has ended but during the warranty period I had a faulty aircon and a loose seat and faded door handles. All have been replaced hassle free. I've gone through 2 sets of tires, one set of break disks and have been servicing every 10,000km. NOW! the issues I have is th...Read more

To all the tradies and couriers out there who are contemplating in purchasing an LDV G10 van my advice to you is don’t.

You pay for what you get. Yes, cheap to buy compared to all the other commercials vans out there but at the expense of quality fittings throughout including all things mechanical.

In March of 2016 I was a very happy man purchased my LDV van. Needless to say had I realised that the stress and trauma that this van was going to cause me over the next three years i would have left it at the dealer.

After I had the van for thr...Read more
