first Issue with the New to me D3

Hi There,
This was a 2005 TDV6 S model, Buckingham blue. Had the brake servo mod recall done, at the time I wasn't aware of the HPFP recall, not sure if it was even out. I went down to the shops and smelt something strange when I got home, I left it in the front garden and took my P38 to run some errands with the intention to investigate further when I returned home when the engine had cooled down. I had just been to the shop to get two new 9Kg LPG refills thankfully I took them out and put them in the shed before I left the house, could have been a different story again.

Next thing I knew the neighbour was calling me telling me my car was on fire, thought she was talking the "micky" until I was getting close to home and saw the black plume of smoke coming out of my street. The bonnet melted and made a pretty artistic shape under the car.

Notice the date? November 2010... so if it was replaced in 2009 - you still have an old style HPFP which should have been replaced after November 2010!

Hint: it is often easier to get a dealership to bat for you in these recalls.

Good luck!

I cant imagine why they would lie to me about it? the guy seemed rather helpful on the phone?
I might give the local Lr dealer a call and ask them to check for me too then?

Even though the winch is not in use at all? just having the lead connected up?

Dont you need to be a dealer/independant to use it?
as when you use it as a 'guest' you cant actualy see/do anything much.
especially not search a VIN to see if recalls have been done.

No anyone can use it - you just need to register like any other site.

If you are happy posting up your VIN I can look it up for you.

As far as registration for Topix goes, this part is what made me think I was unable to register.

"Registration

Well I and many others on here have access and we are not dealers. I just went straight to the registration page and it did not ask for business information.

"There are currently no outstanding Field Service Actions for this vehicle"

So it looks like any recalls (if they applied) have been done.

Your car was only built 1 month after mine but sold much much later. I would have therefore assumed you VIN is in the recall list. Because my vehicle had never been to a dealer the recalls were missed and I had them done in December 2010.

I found out about them via Topix and when the were done the entry for my car changed to the same as yours

"There are currently no outstanding Field Service Actions for this vehicle"

However a dealer should be able to tell you exactly when the recalls were done (brakes and injector pump) and at which dealer - Topis does not have that information but the dealer network does.
