If llSetLocalRot doesn't do it, then you can't. Either have another invisible prim which is the real parent so you can then rotate the one you want to rotate independently with llSetLocalRot, or you're going to have to rotate everything with llSetRot then rotate all the child prims back with the inverse rotation using llSetLocalRot. Which will be lots of fun for you. Thinking about it, you'd need to move all their positions back too given they probably won't all have the same centre point, which would make for even more fun. I'd go with having an invisible other prim as the actual root if I were you

I don't think it's possible to rotate just the parent prim.
If you're trying to make a seat in the vehicle turn so the person sitting on it turns, give up.. I don't think it's possible. I tried and tried to do this on some furniture and the person never moved, but the prim would.
I've been wishing and wishing there was a way to change the sit target of a person while they were sitting.
