    07 Puma Defender Sump

    This was discussed some time ago on this site - but now RH drive vehicles in England are having this problem (driveshaft rod smacking hole in sump )

    LR finally admits there's a problem with the 2.4 defender - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum

    and more ...

    Defender2 - View topic - Sump problem!

    I've had a look at mine and there are no indents or marks on my sump pan, but..

    Do you think I should ask Austral to change my sump pan just in case?

    Keep a pack of that 2-part epoxy putty in the cab and worry about it if-and-when.

    Cheers

    No, no RHD ones have had this happen, yet. Read the thread and linked thread.


    But it has happened to RH drive vehicles - see post #29 in the first thread, paraphrased here...

    My dealer has just had an 07 Defender in with a hole punched in the sump. The customer kept driving with the oil light on until the engine seized. blink.gif I've sent them a copy of the technical bulletin and will be getting mine changed at the next service...

    If it has been raised in a technical bulletin your dealer should change it no questions asked. I doubt they will have stock of the new pan.

    So Far a few dealers which I have spoken to do not nor does any one in the country so they seem to be shipping them in from what I understand.

    from what we have heard it has been raised as a general bulletin... We are going to ask them to change ours on the first service.
    Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......

    Hello dullbird - there are extra replies in the first thread I posted - to the effect that LR will not warranty the new sump pan until the old one is damaged. That is also what Austral have told me - great - bring on the big lap.

    Here is the Technical Bulletin issued by LR...

    Doing a bit of internet searching I can up with this TSB.
    Seems like some are getting replaced, don't have to wait for the banging/hole.

    I would put more pressure on LRA/dealer to replace at next service as it is being done elsewhere.
