    Had my truck in at the dealers today for a bit of a check-over service (at my own request as a new vehicle, I just wanted a post-delivery shake-down to ensure all was still tightened etc as it should be).

    Anyway, I asked them to check out the turbo hose. Turns out my vehicle (2014 110 wagon, delivered in April this year) has had the appropriate bracket(s) fitted.
    Apparently they expected mine would be recalled, but they said it appears the fix was fitted on the production line.

    Happy days

    I thought I'd clarify, it turned out not to be the rear main seal that was leaking. It was some other little thingie internal to the bell housing. They did say what it was, but I've had a long day and am about to hit the hay...

    As I mentioned in an erlier post my vehicles were both fixed under recall but one of them had the new hose bracket fail after 750kms

    this allows new hose to be damaged by steering knuckle and also impedes steering.

    I think regular checks should be made as damage to hose is significant, off to dealer today.

    have a look at "puma steering issues post"

    Cheers

    Question

    Bemm, I read your other thread.
    That is most concerning,...that you've supposedly had the "fix", but you've still got the issue. Read my comment with respect to a missing part of the fix?
    Haven't had mine done yet, so updates from you would be good, as well as info as to whether they have been able to remove & replace your airbox without damage,...you might ask them how they did it?
    Pickles.

    In case anyone wants to know - the issue is easily addressed with a single large zip tie. Just pull your IC hose up towards your air ducting - done!

    A miracle

    Had my first decent experience with a LR dealer. The job at Narellan Land Rover (done in the Ford place a few doors up) went perfectly smoothly and the bloke I dealt with was excellent.

    After giving the canberra dealer 4 days to get the hose in, I arrived at 8am last Monday as booked, to wait for the hose to be fitted..at 10am they came and told me that in fact the hose had not arrived and they would call when it had come in...crap service from a dealer that I had previously had a great run with..they don't seem to get the fact that this vehicle is a massive part of my business and to be stuffed around like this really peeved me off..they finally rang today to say the new hose has come in..Lennock land rover, you have dropped the ball.
