Reply With QuoteHi all my name is Adrian and this is my first post. I am the proud owner of a 2001 Td5 Discovery. I have been reading these posts with great interest over the last couple of weeks and have also lost a little sleep.
Yesterday I phoned my Land Rover service department ( Trivett Land Rover in Sydney ) who I must add have been very good to me over the last few years. I raised this issue with the service manager thats a good bloke. He told me that he was aware of a few cars having this problem and to his understanding they were all 99 or early 2000 models, and they had all failed at low klm's. When I told him that I had heard just recently of some bolts failing on cars with over 100,000 klm's he was suprised.
He also said to perform the work correctly he would need to have the car over night as the locktite needed to set for more than 12 hours to ensure it was effective. So if any of you are going to have this work done better make sure the car is left to sit so the locktite can set. Sorry to add another element of worry to this issue but as I feel it is serious I thing we need all the info on this as we can get.
As for me with a Td5 with 106,000 klm's on the clock not sure whether to get the work done this week or wait till my 110,000 service. But thats just me a bit of a nervous nelly. Would be interested to know what some of you others are going to do.
Regards Adrian
