Some time ago I posted a question regarding what I thought might be a fairly serious synchro-mesh problem with my (then)new disco TD5 .
As an long haul ng user / contributor (but not to this ng), I was hoping for some help but what I actually got was bandwidth-consuming drivel ("give it a few more miles", "have you ever actually driven an LR before" etc, etc).
Useless. Absolutely bloody useless, but I suppose that's usenet for you...
For the benefit of any other folks who might have been given the run-around by LR, it turns out that this *is* an LR problem (and one that they knew about all along, hence the use of a LR approved gearbox oil 'additive' which needless to say didn't work). They have now, after a year's worth of agitation on both my and the dealer's part, agreed to replace the box.
One point I am left wondering about:-
Did the LR 'expert' who was originally wheeled in last year to 'examine' the vehicle fail to identify the problem, or did he know *exactly* what it was and just decided to lie? And which would be worse?
PS - In the event that the lame contributors I referred to above (I'm sure you know who you are) feel inclined to add more noise to this post, forget it. I don't subscribe to this ng and I won't see your (irrelevant) contributions. And to anyone else being stone-walled by LR - good luck and stay with it.
