Well I had the last service and 1st MOT under the 3 yr Warranty today.
The Dealership had promised a free service, because of the trials and tribulations having an XS side step replaced under the Corrosion Warranty, and it was free. No payment for oil etc: not even the MOT or the normal £10 charge for the courtesy vehicle. The service showed 5 mm on ALL the brake pads after 34,000 miles - not bad , as I tend not to dawdle. Original tyres have plenty of wear, and are equal all round even though I run with 27psi front 28 at rear. Small oil leak, doesn't even drip on driveway, from the Transfer box - the same oil seal replaced under the Recall last year. Also 2 small rust streaks at each end of the bulkhead , internally, by the doors. Have been registered under the warranty and will be checked out when the Defender is in for the oil leak. I think it is the foam seal , at each end needs sorting. However the MOT had an advisory note regarding my windscreen tinted sun band which is 3" wide at the top of the screen. Was it a Tint or was it a Label. The examiner said he gave me the benefit of the doubt as to wether it was " a label " or " a tint " . A tint was OK a label was not as it was within the swept arc of the wipers, and that another examiner may not agree. So be Warned.

Hi Jogn Baron,
It was surface bubbling of the paint on one of the side steps/bar. Not a big problem. Dealer noticed it. Warranty replacement authorised. Changeover had to take place at the Authorised Body Repair shop 40 miles away. After 4 return trips for this I blew my cool. Replaced wrong side, wrong pattern/right side, wrong side, right side wrong pattern. Had suggested they ordered a pair, didn't matter which pattern arrived both sides or the correct side could be replaced but Storeman decided to over rule Service Manager. All fixed now + free service. LANDYWATCH Neighbourhood Watch for Land Rover Owners http://www.landywatch.co.uk/smf2/index.php |
