AA man has turned up and plugged it in and found a faulty sensor on the DPF, Aberdeen has no stock of the part needed so then told to drive it 70 miles to Elgin my reply was NO what is the other options, so the up shot is recovery on lorry to Elgin, when will it be fixed i dont know,

next problem i leave on Sunday to Mallaig for 2 weeks work at sea out of phone range so it looks like a hire car from Enterprise, so if they need it back early from me than that don't know what will happen 1995 P38 now dead

I thought LRA were obliged to supply you with a car.

Is it because they don't have a like for like car? Or just reluctance to get one to your location.

I know when my D3 died they sourced a car from another branch, although they did offer an alternative.......... Chevrolet Matiz Laughing I would need one for each cheek. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

I had reduced engine performance not long after I got mine. It was the differential sensor. To be honest, they said it was ok to carry on using but obviously you are rev limited. After a day or so the reduced message still showed but the car drove as normal.

Rolling with laughter


this is the first real test drive i have had in a Evoque, i do like the auto gearbox i should have opted for the auto in the Freelander, rear vision out that letter box window is useless but there is a camera fitted so that helps 1995 P38 now dead
