| Hows this for service J V Like = AAA+++++ |
|
I have been hearing a rumbling noise from the rear of the Red Dwarf for a few days now. So today I took it to J V Like. I got there for about 11.00. They test drove the car straight away and suspected the rear diff. We then stuck it up onto a ramp and drained the oil out of said diff and found metal particles in the oil. So diagnosed knackered rear diff. Checked with the parts store and found that they had one in stock  The out come is they are changing the the diff now. They have loaned me a Freelander Sport to go home in and when the 110 is fixed and later they are going to deliver it to me and collect the Freelander. In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

No not even close. I am yet to find out why they had one in stock. In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Looking at it that way, I reckon they must have the whole car in stores as a knocked down kit

I'd guess Land Rover did the breaking by not putting it together properly  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

No ND I think you have to ask the question... did the LR testing team punish the new Defender to the standards and requirements of LR or that of AndrewS  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Perhaps Likes have learned from the amount of stuff the Blue Pearl had done under warranty just before you sold her....

Diffs on the current Defender 110 should be the same as the '02 onwards Td5, which is why they've got one on the shelf...
Why do you think they're different Andrew? 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!
