Thread: Warranty on parts and labour

Hey All, does anybody have any experience with claiming labour warranty after a genuine part has failed during a related repair?

Looks like I have a bloody big leak from a part (seal) I had replaced by a dealer that was changed while servicing another item. Their exact words were 'we don't want to pull this all back apart again if that starts leaking, so we will change it at the same time'.

The replacement part is not worth much, but the labour to get there cost about $600 last time and I don't want to eat that if I don't have to.

I can't find too much info from LR in Aust about their parts warranty and labour coverage, but I expect the local dealer should be able to make a claim, right?

If your car is out of warrantee but the work was within typical warrantee period for normal mechanics work (can’t remember what this is but 3 or 6 months come to mind) then yes it should be covered.

Eg I recently had ball joints changed which involves new drive shaft seals being replaced at the same time. One had a slow leak so was fixed about 3 months later, no charge. By my local indie, not LR.
