I missed it but Landrover should know all about this.

A fleet user near me had this happen on at least two of their td5 Defender's. at very low mileage.

I was under the impression that it was subject to a recall.

But I would hope that after that the problem would have been sorted at source. A blob of loctite does the world of good.

Makes me feel fortunate, six grand for a new engine, I could buy a decent series motor for that.

No, not yet. It's about 5 hours' work to get to it, so LR aren't likely to recall unless it gets really hairy for them.

It has been, in 1999 I believe.

Bah!

Whenever things like this happen to me and I ring Watchdog they say "well, no-one else has complained..."

Bollards.

Nice shots of Davids's LR tho...pity my merchandise hadn't arrived by the time they picked it up :(

I'll own up now.....it was I they contacted to find owners.....

Happy owner of a 4.6 engine cos the Main Dealer broke the 3.9...and LR wouldn't help AT ALL. Bah!

You could buy 2 or 3 for that!!

I *still* don't have them... I think our postie has given up. It's pathetic.

....and it was me who decided it would be useful to make the various threads in the Discovery section of the LRE Forums sticky.

Typical eh?

Watchdog really should explain that the £6000 buys the engine (which isn't

*that* much) and more importantly for LR, the LABOUR. At £75+ an hour it doesn't long to rack up a bill like that....

I just wish they had explained that. But hey!

This place is becoming inhabited with... anarchists!

Quite :-)
