G'day folks,
we have only just taken delivery of our new D3 TDV6 and are having a few probs already, I hope we have not gotten something with a lot of citric in it.
1. steering pull to left - dealer fixed
2. engine sluggish down low when re -accelerating - dealar loaded a new software version to the ECU - apparantly
3. Now the engine sounds "funny" not sure how to describe it, like it is being a bit strangled. Seems to have normal power but is louder then I recal, maybe I'm getting
paranoid.
4. Fuel consumption now is "heavy" 1/4 tank for 120km
and half of that on the highway driving at no more then 110km/h
5. Dash lights now not working- checked fuses they are ok.
6. Trip computer dropped trip & km/100 readings
I had to lock the brakes to avoid an idiot who turned in front of me at lights today, surely they would not be enough to stuff things up?
Any ideas? On 3, 4, 5??
Very Frustrated so any ideas would be most welcome.
thanks
cheers

Just remember that you'll only hear about problems on a forum & nothing from the people that are really pleased with their cars.
...and you know what us Brits are like for having a whinge!
Just keep on at the dealer until the problems are fixed.

Gday Peter we got our D2 TD5 from Austral and they were hopeless.We heard about Bruce Lynton down at south port and took it there for the servicing and problems, they nearly bent over backwards to help on stuff, havent been for a while so cant say if still the same, we go to M R Automotive now

markndeb,
thanks for that. We went there for a quote but he would not go anywhere near the price we got from Pacific LR at Maroochydore. anyway will be on the ph to them first thing in the morning, just spent the whole day there yesterday too so really peed at having to go back again tomorrow. grrrr

LR couyld do nothing today as the service dept is closed. I had thought we were in the 21st century not back in the 1960s.
On another subject if anyone is having troubles getting the sat nav Voice commands to work make sure you haveselected "UK English" . You will then get a very refined female voice.
Next trick it to talk softly to the system, it recognises the voice commands much better if you do so.
Even the problematic "Navigation go home" command now works very well.
R.I.P.
Might be the female version.
No Barry he said "talk slow" not "beat slow"Might be the female version
