Thread: D3 Woes

Sorry to hear about your issues, but the dealer should do better than that.

1. Could be the compressor. Mine did a similar thing and then went at 120,000km.

2. The aircon is controlled by a sender inside the cabin (it's behind the little vent thing to the left of the steering wheel).

3. Did someone bump it ? Try insurance.

4. That's a known issue.

5. They should be able to fix that first time! Needs a clean and re-adjust. Possibly one of the most common annoyances.

6. GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER.

Go to Trivetts.

Do you mean Bixenon or inner halogen high beam function ?
A Dealer who hasn't seen a stuffed hatch ....... where's he been hiding ?
Have you had the height sensors replaced during fault hunting ?

Definately need a different dealer should be covered and fixed under warranty.
Write the LanRover Australia noting all the issues which have failed during warranty, just incase they arn't fixed before it ends.

Light bracket should not brake unless actually damaged.

Suspension could be as simple as a short in the brake light or globe.

The rear door needs the trim off and this is usually damaged in the process so they need to fix.

Give Gary a ring at Alto (artarmon) see what he says.
They know what's what.

Hi Hazeldean 1,
I guess from your location that you are going to the Canberra dealer. If so, you are probably aware that LR changed dealers at the beginning of this year (for which I'm not surprised and very grateful).

This probably means that you are now dealing with Lenocks ('sp).

While they are new to the D3, the statement that "we haven't come across this before" or similar, is irrelevant, but they seem to have a better reputation in the wider motoring community.

I believe that Canberra Motor Works may be an alternative for you, but they are an independent.

I also heard that there was an independent service centre being set up in Mittagong, but have not heard anything further. It should be well up & running by now.

I accept Caver's comments re Alto, he has a very good relationship with them - and that's important.

At the same time, I agree with Jamo's suggestion re Trivett. I use the centre in Parramatta (actually near Rose Hill race course) and have been very pleased with them.

HTH,
Peter

I wouldn't touch Lennocks with a barge pole, every expeience I have had with them has been expensive, painful and requires return trips.

Canberra Motor Works are great, Ray knows the vehicles really well, and although he is at the higher end of the charge scales, IMHO it is worth it.

As warranty is about to run out get to a decent dealer.
As said try Trivetts or Alto.

Anyone had any experience with Purnell's

Purnells?

Ask jonesy63 they have 'fixed' his HP fuel pump a few times.
