Thread: Clutch Warranty

Hi All, just wondered if any of you have had clutches replaced under warrany over 20k, I have a 2010 puma with 60 k on it, for the last year I have complained about the clutch rattled. It went in for its 60k service today and the finaly admited it was the springs, but Landrover wont change it under warranty as it is has done over 20k.

I got them to send me copies of the the service reports to see when I first complained, it was when it had done 40k, they decided to change the turbo heat shield as the thought that was the issue.

I just dont believe that LR can only warranty a clutch for 20k I understand excessive use and all that but they changed the gearbox out under warranty at 50k and advised the clutch was around 50% worn.

Anyway if I dont get any luck with land rover which I doubt they want to hit me for $1500 to change the clutch. Does anyone know somewhere on the gold coast or Brisbane that would do it a bit cheaper?

I am at a loss, you think you are covered under warranty but this is the springs which are inherintly faulty reading all the posts about the death rattle.

thanks
Patrick

Don't know if its related but since very early on I have been complaining about resistance changing 1st into 2nd. They tell me this is still comparable to any other Puma. Bull**** I reckon. Any of this sound familiar to anyone.

I had the same issue, complained for a year about 1st and second gear, eventualy about 4 months ago they said that the syncromesh was buggered and it needed a new gearbox, they did not have the tools to fix it seemingly so it was a swap out, it made a huge difference, 1st is still a bit notchy but you can mitigate that by driving 'nicer' but the other gears are great now.

The rattle was getting louder also, becoming embarrasing going slow in underground carparks, the ones we can fit in that is.

Also now that I am not sung hung up on the clutch they found another few things wrong which they are changing. bit from the report is below
