Squeaky wheel gets the oil. :D Make noise about it. I assume they are saying it is a half shaft. This would give the same symptoms as gghaggis said. Tell them you do not expect a bill.

Just to close this one out - the opinion was that the n/s/f drive shaft cv had failed (it failed a few days after the suspensions arms, balls joints and bushes had been replaced).
Now I'm thinking if the n/s/f has failed - what is the reliability of the o/s/f drive shaft as I am about to embark on a 4000 km trip into January.
Thanks All.
CV is part of driveshaft part. Did you see the diveshaft that failed? Did they say how it failed?
CVs/DS are un unusual failure, but do happen.
It would seem too cinsidendal that it failed soon after. Just hope they didn't do something to the other CV as well.:angel:
No, did not get to see the failed D/S but the improvement in the steering/handling is a noticeable improvement so maybe there was excessive wear in the D/S just replaced.
The LR dealer service to date has been good, guess just have to move on now and hope the o/s/f gets me through the trip !
When changing the lower arms on my RRS, we (the indie I used & myself) couldn't shift the N/S driveshaft and ended up with very large persuading stick on the end of it. The CV ended up being the casualty. It's plausible they've done the same with yours.
