    Well, I've just wasted a fair bit of time, trying to find out if my D3 had been fixed under recall. A dealer, North of Brissie, told me it wasn't subject to recall, but wouldn't look at the ACCC site that I was on, that stated it was subject.

    In a fraction of the time spent with the Northern mob, Southport Land Rover has supplied me evidence of the repair and date thereof. (Which means I'll be out of pocket)

    Part number is LR018673
    MY08 D3 - The Antichrist - "Permagrimace". Turn the key and play the "will it get me home again" lottery.

    If I'm reading this correctly, you'll already have the updated part (LR018673) if so, suck it (booster) and see, it takes quite a while to accumulate, and as long as it hasn't destroyed the diaphragm, it may last a few years yet.

    It's worth changing the one-way/check valve every few years as they fail in the recall pipework.

    If you have to change the booster change to the RRS version for extra boost. A simple change over and not overly expensive part if you hunt around.

    Ewe, not something I’d do. I think the boost level on the car is perfect. I have a Golf GTi with such a sensitive pedal, it take so long to adjust to.

    Each to their own I suppose.

    I always felt the non dust Akebono pads lost some of the original bite so this brought it back up again. Also now have SS flex brake lines which assist as well. Definitely not over sensitive just more oooompff when you want it.
