What rd said. Thus is the second recall (in fact is it the third for some vehicles?)
I was told yesterday by the senior mechanic at a dealer that there is"likely" to be a recall for the fuel filter housing as it's causing issues on a number of vehicles |

Well after a rather annoying start (I checked the forum for similar threads and found none) of playing "ooooh isn't he silly" a couple of you have come up with some useful replies - cheers for that. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Fish - I trawled through many pages just in case - didn't see anything. Otherwise I wouldn't have "dared" share such potentially useful info...
Yep - poor surf not good after a massive wave fest. Did 32 miles on the MTB instead - hard riding all the way and I'm not fecked! The 110 is a very handy MTB carrying wagon! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion. |

32 miles that's some going, good work. I've been hiking with the dogs probably 20 miles this week + some dirt biking yesterday to refuel my stoke.
Pleasantly surprised my motor bike fits inside the car ! couldn't believe it when i wheeled it up the plank and it went straight in pretty pleased now as i don't need the trailer ! Handlebars cleared the roof by at leased half a foot. 110 HT TD5 - 110 XS SW Puma |

I remember when this issue first arose,I checked the VIN number of my vehicle against those in the recall range and I was outside it. A few weeks ago I received a recall notice for this very problem. Personally I think they got all the suspect vehicles attended to first and then checked the rest. I left mine until I had a service due.At this stage I would not worry about it-I did'nt. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

Well it's booked in for next week anyway.
Getting this checked/done but also asked them to look at the clutch (rattly when idling, goes when you depress it but only intermittently) and vent blower: 1 - nothing 2 - nothing 3 - ARRRGHHH - HURRICANE! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion. |

Mine goes in this Friday for the same AND I shall watch them while they do it
 Some of these guys really don't give a *~#%$ but I think Harwoods, Edenbridge should be OK - they will be with me watching  |
