Did you notice anything wrong with the gearbox?

It's always been notchy/snatchy but it's a Defender so assumed it was okay.
Clearly it's not. TBH I'm almost certain it'll be a warranty (it's a LR AUC truck) but still a slight worry. Parts been ordered - well over £2k fitted. Plus the handbrake and vents issue (also warranty jobs)! Eeeek! Should be done mid next week. They did give it a heck of a good clean though 
I went in rather heavy handed then calmed down a bit - I think they realise I'll be an awkward sod if things aren't done to my satisfaction. One skill I do have is getting things sorted when they go wrong. Probably had £1000s in "free" warranty/returns stuff over the years. All legit but all took a bit of cunningness.

Just out of interest Mick, which dealer do you use for service/warranty work?

Fekete - TBH I'm hoping not to be involved in how much it costs...

Hope they get it sorted for you.
How many miles has it done and what is an LR AUK truck? If it's a 2007 model does the warranty extend over the 3 years for this type of problem? |

Zagato - bought it five months ago on 37k miles. It's a September 2007 build. All serviced on time at Harwoods nr Croydon.
Now on 40k miles - none have been hard. TBH I reckon it was an issue when we bought it so if for some reason the warranty was not enough, I'd be onto the dealer pronto. The previous owner was a roofer so it possibly towed heavy loads quite often? Certainly no signs of heavy (or in fact ANY) off road use and it was from Croydon - where there isn't any off roading to be done!! LR AUC is Land Rover Approved Used (usually the term AUC is used) it was out of the 3 year LR warranty but this is 95% as comprehensive and last a year - I may well extend it! - the full conditions are here: http://www.usedvehicles.landrover.co.uk/fe...hicPromo_3 - not that you need it! I cannot see LR having a leg to stand on in trying to turn it down. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now - Riders Truro handled it pretty well in my opinion seeing as they didn't sell me this 110. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion. |

Well they checked it and decided the gearbox was okay after all. New clutch, sorted the vent blower and handbrake. All FOC. Will keep a close eye on the gearbox. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.
