Weekend before last the Starter Motor decided to die, took Farnells nearly a week to fix it!!
Now the Belt on the Engine has split and disintergrated, leaving me with no electric, and minimal brakes and steering!!!. And believe me a TD5 110 with 35" Mud Tyres is heavy VERY heavy on steering and brakes, with no power assist!!!
I wouldn't mind but it's only 12 Months Old.

The tensioner pulley is siezed up solid, so it's another warranty job :cry:
Apparently there sending a technician out this time, so hopefully they can fix it in less time than it took them for the starter motor.

That's because they don't want all the mud on the workshop floor again. :wink: :lol: :lol:

When we called the LR dealer about squealing brakes on the Freelander, they told us not to drive in, they would send someone out. I guess it is a legal issue. They don't want to tell you to drive a vehicle to them that might lead to legal action against them if it fails on it's way and kills someone. I don't suppose they would worry about a dodgy interior light, but anything that affect brakes or steering and they panic!

thats funny,
the local stealer to me told a women with a freebie that the pads were fine when they serviced it & 2 days later it started to make a grinding noise,she phoned them up & thewy said its fine to drive for now & we wont be able to look at it for 2 weeks,
25 minutes later it was on the ramp getting pads & discs at an independant & the bill going to landrover

Quite impressed actually.
Technician turned up after about 1 Hour, had a quick look, decided what parts he need. Came back a couple of hours later with all the parts, took im ten minutes to replace the tensioner pulley, and fit the belt.
:D

same thing happened on the 300TDi disco with the belt, replaced it and nothing happened again..... I put it down to a faulty belt that only lasted 2 months
