1. they fobbed you off till they had a gap in the work schedule to get your vehicle in did some faffery, got a temp fix and called it a day.

2. they did change the injectors but they pooched the install

3. they didnt clean the fuel system out correctly so now you're back at square 1 and need yet another complete fuel system overhaul.


for the injectors to be leakingunder pump pressure enough to cause hydraulicing youd pretty much have to remove the needle from the injector. I might buy that some injectors are dribbling and the residual pressure in the fuel rail is leaking into the pot when the engines off but in that case you wouldnt get a start (because the engine would be hydrauliced) and if you did you'd have a pretty much constant case of diesel knock, the injector condition would worsen, leak more and by now the engine would have done a runaway like the detroit 2 strokes do when they melt the injector nozzle.

Well I dont know dave you tell how I'm supposed to know whether or not they change all these things....yes yes ask for the parts sometimes we pick the car up on closing not always possible! it would be pretty stupid for them not to change them as it would only cost them more money. as they can't really go and change them again, we have had the pump changed twice (or maybe we didn't)
Have to say dave I love your posts your for ever telling the worst cases and that things weren't changed.....how about some good news i have enough negativity involved with this car and land rover at the moment

I do not know what are the LT way to deal with defective parts under warranty.
With John Deere, VW and Ford I have to send them to the manufacturer for credit and inspection by the quality control so it was impossible to give them to the customer

Yes I think they do have to send them away.....But you can still ask to see them I think
We actually got our fuel filter back yesterday which is what they think has caused all this (we shall see) but thats only because we paid for it and asked for the other one.

If it is the fuel filter then to cause the rattle as much as it has means they have never changed it when they say they did and they also can't of drained it when they did....they tried to blame us off roading the car AGAIN for the blocked filter which is very silly as they were supposed to have drained it 2 months before so if it was blocked then they have missed it. don't see how you can block a filter on tarmac. As we keep telling them the car hasn't offroaded

Thats right,no point replacing parts if they aren't stuffed.I can't see why they don't have a test rig for checking components.Like I said,they are just taking a stab in the dark. Pat

Fuel filter?????. Pat

I do not know if the Puma have a pre-filter with a water trap if not I would fit one.It will protect the main filter and also you will be able to see if there is any water coming from the tank.
There are models with large or small bowl so you will be able to get one that can be fitted on the engine bay.
Cav-Delphi is a good combination and excellent product.
Have a look HERE for them

I doubt that the LR dealer is going to fit one for you so go to a diesel shop (to be cover) and get one installed.

Cheers

those filters look great, especially with the plastic bowl. Last time I changed the filter the glass bowl shattered when tightening it up. Wasn't that tight.

how are they set up those filters....only reason I ask is talking to an independent land rover place he said if those water trap things have like a pre filter type set up he wouldn't fit it....because by putting more filters in the line you can possibly upset the flow by putting more resistance with in the lines.

Now don't flame me that was just his opinion
