Cracking Up!

Got onto the local dealer & extended warranty mobs today.
Allianz said they would have to have the crack assesed. If it was manufacturing caused or stress caused they would replace it, if it was sun or wear & tear they would not. They do not normally warranty trim.
So I have arranged a service in a couple of weeks & LR can have a look & get back to Allianz.
See what happens I guess.
Still not happy.

O.K.
A good result. The dash is cracking along the side of the passenger side air bag. The local-ish Service Manager got onto Allianz & told them that either the air bag had moved or the dash was faulty. Allianz have agreed to replace the dash. So $2500 for 3 years extended warranty, $2200 to fit a new dash, pretty good.
While servicing the D3 they found a very slight oil leak in the front diff, also to be covered by Allianz, now very good.:D
Also had the lower front control arms replaced, the Service Manger even hit Allianz up for this but they didn't bit on that 1, Oh well, worth a go.
Must say that after about a year of a rattly front end it is nice to have this fixed. The difference in steering, handling & feel is just amazing.
I would also like to thank the service guys at LR Cairns for going a bit above & beyond.

Nice to hear a good story about the Allianz warranty. I opted for it as well. Whether you want to keep the car for an extended time, or turn it over, having that back up makes me feel better.
