Thread: some puma 90 niggles and frustrations (Warranty)

YAY! its fixed and on its way home. .
The bad is. . . they cant tell me what happened, just that they have replaced fuel lines, all 4 injectors, the fuel pump, a stack of gaskets on the front of the engine and a few other little 'shop items'
doesn't make me feel to great that they haven't told me what the 'cause' was though. . .

Ill be putting the car in for a FULL check over here in Brisbane just to be sure though.

they have offered what they think is good compensation, though I beg to differ, but ive given up now and decided these things happen and I was just unlucky and I need to deal with it.

but ill have my car back. . and heres another good one. . . 10-14 business days. . :| apparently that's the time frame quote from the transport company :S to travel townsville to brisbane is 10days. . yikes. .

anyway car back soon YAY!!!!!

you could have offered to land rover to fly you up so that you can get re-aquainted with your rig

lets hope you have trouble free motoring from here on....well at least to the defender day

They did offer that, however I cannot get the time of work to fly up and drive it back or I would have gone with that option.

Manic in the D3/D4/RRS section has already done so, maybe you can share lawyers and reduce costs.

Yep that is exactly what I think.Just make sure you get a good one,not a
snake oil doctor.there are plenty of those around.

I.e. intake grill that fell off, melted mudflap repaired here in Brisbane.

I'm confident once in Brisbane at a reputable dealer of whom I already deal with for my servicing that the issue will be resolved quickly.

I will keep everyone updated when I know more.

By not taking legal action that is exactly what Land rover want you to do.They will hold out for as long as the a solicitor is kept out of it.Then actions could change quickly so into them ASAP. That is the way of the modern business world,bluff,bluff as long as one can.

Not sure that that is good or accurate advice.

Their pockets are always going to be way, way deeper than most individuals and in very, very short order the legal costs will be much higher than the cost of the vehicle, let alone the repair.

It can often be an advantage to be possession of all the facts before advocating such action. To me it would seem to be more of an issue with the individual dealer than Land rover.

Ill avoid the discussion abotu legal action for now.

though seems my car is still in townsville. . .

almosted busted a nut for that. . seems the current weather has renderd the roads 'impassable' this is information form the transport company.. and my car will be relocated as soon as the roads are 'passable' again. this is not Land Rovers fault and I do not blame them for the weather.

just makes me sad seeing as ive missed 2 planned holidays/trip's already and im set to miss a third the weekend after next.

I have passed on to LR my opinions and experience so far and that's the best I can do.

hopefully Ill be re-united with my little truck soon.
