Our new 110 gone bang

Well good old Land rover
We picked up a new 110 hard top on friday pulled it in the shed next day there was some oil under the engine not good.
We took it back to the dealers this morning 9 miles away on the way back the turbo blew lack of oil to it
as some muppet had not done the oil feed pipe up tight enough.
So much for the dealers PDI checks

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

I begining to question my sanity.....
I kind of expected problems but this is basics....how this sort of problem happen.
to be honest I'm becoming more and more amazed. replacement seat brackets were sent to dealers replace mine and they had already started rusting upon arrival !

surely it doesn't take a genius to realise sorting the job out right in the first place is much cheaper than doing all this warranty work?

2010 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SW Alpine White

Not just on your side...

When we got our brand new Puma, it swerved left under braking. Turns out the front left hub had been overfilled with grease.

Next, it kept drifting left. Took it to my indie who found that the front left swivel pre-load had not been set nor the steering box centered.

One yr later am still battling with LR to get the left drift sorted out...

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green

Maybe my recent tactic of being low mileage 2/3 year old cars is sensible - pay a fraction of the new price and get the first owner to sort any teething problems out!

Or maybe it's just me being a tightar5e?! (Bought the car before the BM new - actually didn't lose that much on it!) Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.
