There may be a direct correlation between that gauge and actual level...or amount to be added but since the car is new, I haven't looked too hard.

Well, here we are 11mths later, a car with 30,000kms now, and leaking oil.
First time in for leak was told just the seal on the oil filter, oh no 300kms later still leaking,
This time I'm told "had camera in there and is leaking from up behind bellhousing". "have not pulled it down yet but ordered seals" :confused:
Been there a week now. :(
My money is on the rear main seal, and since I have not heard of any other leakers, Gotta suspect overfill damage has now surfaced, can hardly wait to hear the spin on what and why,
I'm sure there's gunna be a few "I don't knows "
Just to restore my trust in their professionalism, had a new sensor in the fuel tank and first time I filled it, fuel leaked out everywhere, thats getting fixed while it"s in there.
At the moment I see there is a post about "good service", hmmm, :wasntme:
Cheers Ken
That is really bad news Ken. I am sure we all feel for your frustration and I can imagine the thread on 'good service' doesn't make you feel any better.
I find it appalling that one human being can be so completely insensitive to another that they would treat their expensive car that way, showing a total lack of consideration for the owners feelings.
The service department at the dealer from whom I bought my D4 is still an unknown entity. I would like to take the car to the independant I have been using for years and do trust, but feel a bit nervous in case of any warranty claims. Need to think this one through a bit.
As to your case Ken, maybe this thread should be brought to the attention of Land Rover Australia. Naturally you wouldn't want to take your car back to that dealer - if LRA knew just how ****ed off their customers can become, maybe they would consider taking some action to prevent these cowboy dealers spoiling the reputation of Land Rovers in general.
It doesn't matter how good the car is - this sort of thing doesn't make one pleased with a decision to buy a Land Rover. If this happened to me, I would be unlikely to ever buy another Land Rover product. It did happen to me years ago with a BMW motorbike.
Good luck,
Paul
Well I'm thinking of doing all services on my Rangie.. Was horrified with the standard of service of my local dealer.. Could not even talk to a real mechanic regarding some simple questions about the car. When I booked it in they didn't even know what a L322 was! ****
We are very limited with options here on the gold coast. Can anyone recommend anywhere who I could trust?
Cheers

I checked my oil via the recommended method 2 weeks ago. It was asking me to add 1 litre of oil. It managed to burn this 1 litre in 9000klm.
It is at the dealer today for an investigation as to why its using oil. This car was a smoker early in its life. I haven't noticed smoke again but I haven't really looked either.
OK, not leaking from the rear,
Now that they have actually looked at it, it's leaking from the front.
Some bolt that goes thru a ladder and into the block, anyone know:confused:
"Don't want to just put new seal in, need to check with LR Aust, who have to check with LR UK",.... must be checking what day it is
Probably don't have seal for front, because I've waited a week to get seals for rear and don't need them now.(why order parts before you know whats wrong)
This place has you looking around for the cameras, to see if your being pranked........:eek:...............if only it was
Cheers Ken
