Thread: Puma Defender Turbo Hose Recall Notice...Who's Received one?

Ill have to ask Austral about this when I drop it of to them for its next service.

Bet its what happened to mine, The hose delaminates and blocks the airflow to the intercooler.
When you look at the engine it is the hose near the RH front headlight (or in that vicinity anyway, there is a post relating to this and my adventures that I put up pretty recently.

Hey, I read something about this recall on Defender2.

So far had no probs with Hector's turbo hose but because we live remote would rather go for the replacement -before he spits the damn thing!

Could somebody post a copy of the recall notification letter? I'm overseas at present and my mail is being diverted to my inlaws.

Good on Land Rover for finally acknowledging the turbo hose issue and instigating a recall. We all love a good whinge about LR, but at the end of the day they seem to do better by us than Toynisswoo do for their customers.

Cheers

haha, I would hope this wasn't my issue, seeing as it took them 9 weeks. . . its already bad enough it took them that long to do what they did, little own to find out the turbo hose was at fault, so has anyone else got a recall letter yet? I haven't received one?

I wonder if this is the turbo hose that falls off all the time - mine came off early in the piece and it was sent back to the Dealer to be fixed under warranty. Getting a tow bar installed as well - yes, I know that the Dealer isn't the cheapest around, but it's just so convenient to get it done whilst it is in the shop as I don't have the time to shop around and take it somewhere.

Hi, if you dont mind asking, what are they charging for the tow bar because I want to get them to put one on Def 110 too.

Our dealer wanted an embarrassing amount to fit a tow bar to our 90 so I followed the advice in this thread: MY12 Defender 90 towbar. and got a genuine LR part from Melbourne City LR parts dept for $400. Got Opposite Lock to fit it for me for $180, which was a bit steep but I needed it doing and all in was still less than a third the price the dealer quoted!!!

Might go down that route because the dealer quoted 2500 for a towbar with the electrics/elec brake!!!!
