Sent from my SM-N920I using AULRO mobile app
Yep. injector stuck open. originally before they diagnosed the were doing the 'oh we don tthink its warranty etc'
then last friday was all 'oh we hope you are doing well we just want you to know we will put through a goodwill claim. unjector 4 was stuck open and 2 and 3 were leaking'
Might ge ta compression test done as the last time I saw a puma with an injector stuck open it had melted the pistons.
They can also hydraulic lock and bend a conrod in extreme circumstances. ..
Jc
injectors replaed. still running bad.(apparently. I have not seen it) was told 'will call you back tomorrow' last week.
then I said Im just trying to see if I should expect at a certain time. SA joked he can send me a photo of it if I miss is that much.
over a month with no defender now. I'm dead inside lol
my wife called land rover upset lol they said its out of warranty bu tthey are helping us. she lost it and went off at them about how its not acceptable to have a dead car with 100km anywy. she said if we wanted th erav 4 hire car we were given we would have bought a rav 4 originally lol.
after 2 weeks of no pdate they have an update finally. they have NFI what it is. lol still running rough. they've pulled the fuel tank out to replace fuel cause they reckon its bad fuel (doubt it) then will fill tomorrow and try. more waiting. hooray.
