Thread: MY D4 Is Bleeding

Hi All
Our D4 3.0lt has oil leak, exact same symptoms as Celtoid's. It has been at LR dealer in Orange for nearly 2 weeks, at this stage no turbo replacement.

I hope that pun was intended. But if they have stock then I am very, very confused. Lucky you I guess! Hope it sorts out your issue.

Dunno what's going on there, no idea how your spares system works.

I asked if this was a new modified turbo or old stock and there was no hesitation in the answer....as in "why would we fit something we know will break again?"

I'm sure they aren't pulling my car apart for something to do, I'm assuming they have the spares.

Cheers,

Kev.

Two weeks....what are they doing?

Even when LR attempted the recent fix it was done in a day.

The very recent turbo replacement was carried out in two.

Give them a Gee Up!!!

Cheers,

Kev.

The Gee Up is going to happen tomorrow

Thanks

Oh forgot to add.....if you aren't aware the turbo replacement requires the car to be broken in half.....

If they can do that in two days...what the hell are they doing in two weeks?

An old mate of mine once said....."they could cut it in stone in that timeframe".....LMAO

I hate to dampen the mood, but you're not actually allowed to split the body to replace the turbos anymore, warranty will only pay you so much to do it and they won't pay for a body split.

It's as simple as taking out a few things on the bank the turbo is on, such as the egr and other stuff. It usually takes about 1 day to get the turbo out and in, depending on how troublesome the car wants to be.

Out of interest what dealer have you taken your car to?

If it's the dealer in Orange then it's Tony Leahey, from what I understand they are only a recent dealer, so maybe they are working out the kinks in their system.
They wouldn't service my D2, nothing prior to 05 they said

Dampen the mood? Yeah I'm ****ing stoked about having my $100K motorcar split in half, once, twice or ever.....WT????

I was unaware of that change and just assumed that it was back to the split....and frankly I'd much rather they didn't, unless it's more risk prone not to.

Frankly, I'd rather there was no need at all!!!


Relevance of the dealer? Aren't they all LR trained?
