    Squeaky wheel gets the oil. 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.

    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.
