    defender 2007 fuel contamination

    Hi all

    wonder if you can help i have contaminated a fuel metering valve and fuel pressure relief valve less than 24 hours after collecting the car from a 50000km service i am being told this will cost me $2400 dollars, is it possible to be driving a car with no probs put it in for a service with water in the fuel line have them drain the sedementor and then after collecting the car have it crap itself less than 24 hrs later even though i hadn't fuelled up in that time?

    What is your location?

    That sounds like a total load of cr@p from your dealer to avoid a warranty claim. Nearly all 07MY Defender owners on the forum here, myself included, have had their PRV replaced as a warranty action item. One of them had their dealer try the "contaminated fuel" line but they won out in the end.

    There are people who spend all weekend cleaning the car.
    And there are people who drive Discovery.
