I'm RRREEAALLLYYY particular about stuff like that, I wish I wasn't 'cause I get a few grey hairs (well I haven't got any black ones left!) worrying about stuff like this, so I'd be interested to know what you can see.

Hi Pickles,
Well I had a look and all seems well. The air filter looks undamaged and appears to be securely mounted. Shame that I was not aware of possible issues before the fix so a before/after comparison could be made. At the moment I have no reason for my dealer service cynicism gland to kick in.

I had a look under mine and it appears that I have the hose with the wire coiled around it. It misses the steering column by the tiniest of margins.... Do I leave it or take it up with the dealer?

That is what I have (wire coil), our Defender was manufactured 9/13, it appears to be in the VIN range, but I ain't heard nothing yet.

Have a look at the pics on this thread posts 50 and 51.

The latest fix has a bracket on the alternator as shown in #51

If yours dont have the bracket upgrade, I would definitely get it done.
Ive had two trips to Perth on a truck, due to hose failures - very inconvenient

Its also dangerous as the the steering has the the potential to get wrapped up in the coil

Turns out there was in fact a recall on mine. Letter turned up a few weeks after they told me there wasnt any recall on my vin.... Ffs. Im dreading dealing with the dealer again.

I picked up my 90 from a tamworth dealer,a few hours from home..so i am taking it to artarmon on thursday for the hose job, won't go near my nearest dealer, bad meeting with the service manager there over another issue. I guess I'm saying take yours somewhere else if you can James..

Had mine fitted yesterday, all good :D

Mine went in today. Also to check out a spot of engine oil at the bottom of the bell housing.... rear main seal as it turns out... not bad for 12k easy km's :mad:
