    Seems pretty straight forward to me - the recall work failed so LR have an obligation to fix, the same obligation when the recall work was first done.

    As I have not heard of the recall work failing, I would consider betting that they used earlier new parts, not the new modifed ones that were supposed to go in.

    Yep spot on mate.

    The Disco is still at LR, no word whether LRA will be funding the repair under the recall. Seems not so straight forward though. But I am being patient as I don't want to push Alto as they are trying to help.

    Getting sorted. LRA Checked the vehicle and approved the repairs.

    Alto have been brilliant, although quite delayed I am glad they pushed LRA to fix under recall.

    Thanks all for the info and help.

    Just got home from Southern Land Rover with the same brake problem!!
    I walked in this morning with the recall notice and my vin number and explained about what was happening and the guys at S.L.R. we're brilliant to say the least!!
    They are replacing the whole lot for me,without hesitation and gave me this to drive home in for the inconvenience!!

    So fastforward a few years...

    I got to experience brake assistance failure today. Lucky the wife wasn't driving because she's a bit of a late braker at the best of times, no way in hell would she have been able to pull it up. It happened a couple of additional times, definitely intermittent.

    Anyway, got home, took off the booster line and yep, oil came running out.

    Has anyone had much luck getting this repaired again while using an Indie mechanic and paid for by LR? I generally use Ritters' after some bad experiences with MLR. I don't really want to take it back to them for any repairs. Or will LR insist I use a network dealer?

    So just in case anyone is curious, Land Rover have agreed to cover the brake fix for my disco for a second time.

    MLR originally rang me to tell me there was no issue except the rear brake pads needed replacement as they were 'down to the metal'. When I queried how this was possible when all 4 corners had new discs and pads installed only 16k ago, they decided to have another look and found the oil in the booster.

    LR has agreed to supply all required parts. I was happily surprised that they agreed without me having to fight at all.
