This mean the steering fluid level is low or the pump is dying... |

The fluid level has always remained the same so its only a matter of time now before total pump failure . Landrover know this so why leave things so long so that so much damage is done. I cannot see their logic in these matters |

Took our car into main dealers for heavy steering. New rack needed but car is just over three and a half year old so out of warranty (only 30k mls) Quoted £900!! When I said it was a known problem and should not fail at low mileage they said to let them have service record and they would speak to land rover. (Bit worrying as they carried out the first two!!) Started arguing as the third service was carried out at an independent, but then phoned back and said land rover were paying 66% of the bill.

Had heavy steering at 55,000 kms... dealer replaced my pump under warranty, then at 59,000 kms, replaced the pump and the rack. One week later the same thing, except this time, my freelander 2 was out of warranty... 4 weeks of fighting with the dealer and they would not cover it this time, so my question is:

Just had mine in to Dealer with a whine which was diagnosed as a problem with the power steering. Initially quoted £900 to replace various parts, reservoir and filter, steering rack etc. Dealer submitted a 'goodwill claim' to Land Rover as vehicle is 3 years 4 months old and done 35000 miles. Land Rover came back with offer of 33% to which I responded that other owners were getting 66%. Dealer said "I can do better than that, I hope" and came back with Land Rover will cover 100% of the costs.

08 SE Three weeks out of warrenty with 33k miles. OK on Monday 21/02/11 Not used Tuesday 22/02/11 Wednesday 23/02/11 started up and loud whine sounding like the turbo but not because losing power asistance on turns. Main dealer in Liverpool diagnosed failed steering rack and will also need a new reservoir and fluids. Quoted £941.66 inc VAT to fix but would not put in a claim to LR untill car delivered to their workshop for work to br carried out and cannot book it in untill Wednesday 09/03/11 and will need it for 2 days. Car duly delivered to dealer for repairs to be carried our and for them to submit a claim. Returned on Thusday and was informed that LR will contribute 33% towards costs. Said I was not happy and was informed that LR only considered the claim because the car has a full LR service record and low milage and by the way LR will only ever allow one good will claim to which I replied "do not worry about that this car will be gone within three months and be replaced by a SKoda Yeti". Reason ,at least the MD of the Skoda Dealership is a family friend and if there are any problems (which judging by my daughter's last four cars there will not be) at least I can go go right to the top.
