What was the UK response Mick....Did they recall them over there?
Would certainly make things very different if they did..

I spoke with LRUK...they would not comment on individual cases, but each matter was dealt with individually and settled.Originally Posted by Ean Austral
No recall was done in Australia - nor worldwide I suspect - as recalls are only concerned with "matters of safety.."
I remember reading a couple of uk L/Rover mags and it seemed that they were treated the same as here..A bad luck attitude so to speak..
Hopefully the word has spread enough now so we dont need to read of this type of engine failure anymore..

It's a shame, because other than that..I would have no hesitation heading across the Simpson in .... hang on a sec...there was the oil in the harness...3 amigos...sagging arse end...fuel pump...front prop shaft...plastic dowels...warped manifold...jerky throttle in low range...door locks...window regulators...ignition switch...horn button...sagging roof line...no CDL...**** the Simpson, I'm just going to look at it in the driveway...

I know the pump problem was the same everywhere Mick!
The response in the UK to my knowledge very similar to here. Any resolved cases out of warranty would be in the minority.

Well there you go...the bastards lied to me!!!!
Where's your sense of adventure Mick...Hang on... all that started happening to mine AFTER we did the Canning....It's a shame, because other than that..I would have no hesitation heading across the Simpson in .... hang on a sec...there was the oil in the harness...3 amigos...sagging arse end...fuel pump...front prop shaft...plastic dowels...warped manifold...jerky throttle in low range...door locks...window regulators...ignition switch...horn button...sagging roof line...no CDL...**** the Simpson, I'm just going to look at it in the driveway...

Cheers EanAnd it does get used for its intended purpose - And it never gets washed. It's dented. Scratched..locked..lifted...and I love it.

it is a bastard issue...but tbh, its a land rover, they all have problems, its the first thing I changed after i bought it...if i ever get another model the first thing to do is search forums like this for common faults

I just love the way blokes do the "I told you so" or "should have known better."
The purpose of my post was to warn others in particular 99 owners as they seem to be more likely to fail from what I read,
I said, "Just to add to the many posts already put out about these pieces of junk. Warning especially to 99 model D2 TD5 owners. Get your oil pump bolt done with loctite or suffer the same fate as many have before and I have now..." and to vent my own frustration with myself mainly and also LR. I take full responsibilty for leaving it too late, I have had this car for 6 months and never got around to it, dodgy 2nd dealer
"thought it was done" but this is my bad and mine only. I wasn't trying to tell you blokes who know a bit more than most anything new, just those that don't or may have put it off like me and I'm sure there are plenty when you look at how many have looked at the post.
