Problem sorted. Turned out to be a cracked hose leading to the DPF sensor, which was making the sesnor report false readings. Pipe replaced and it's piling on the miles again.... |

Excellent news, inconvenient yes but not a fault to tarnish your reliability record

93,000 miles (149,000 kms) stacks of it on horrible dirt roads. No dealer services since 36,000 kms. On my 3rd set of tyres (near new) and second set of brake pads, original everything else except....whining diff replaced at 80,000 kms and steering rack flushed at 120,000 kms. The car is 4.5 years old. The diff never let me down it was just noisy. When they did the diff they stuffed the Haldex so they replaced that as well. I have extended warranty till September or 200,000 kms. I can honestly say I have given this car a real thrashing (in a tender sort of way ) and it has come through better than I could have hoped for. The best car I have owned. |

March 15 2011 SD4 HSE, now 43,000km (26,700mi). Lumbar support not working at delivery, fixed immediately. Since then, apart from windscreen (outback Queensland roads) and driver's window glass (outback NSW roads - so not the car's fault, just stones from idiots coming the other way not slowing down when passing), nothing wrong at all.

Now completed 43,000miles. Rear brakes seized, handbrake seized on. Had to call LR Assist to help get car mobile. This has required new discs, pads, brake shoes. Handbrake and adjusters seized but have now been free'd off. Total bill--£464. Garage advised that same problem in another FL2 just as few weeks ago.

Always using Kwik Fit Could it have been a lease car, some lease companies won't have puncture repairs done and fit new tyres regardless of the wear, hence the market for part worns on the bay |

Yes it was a lease car,only used by one person. So that explains the high tyre use? |
