To cut a long story short, for a couple of weeks in November, I noticed a distinct change in the tone of the engine when the vehicle was moving, almost as if the autobox was in sport mode. After consulting two local dealerships, admittedly one at lunchtime and one at 4 in the afternoon, both receptionists suggested I call out LR assist as their technicians were either at lunch or busy. So, I did, and within 45 minutes the technician arrived and diagnosed power steering trouble. He was very efficient and organised a Freelander HSE auto hire vehicle from Enterprise and also booked my vehicle in to the dealers for the next day. Problem solved, under warranty or it would have cost over £400 for parts alone - new rack and two ? pumps.

So, the question is ' are LR dealers trying to get LR assist to diagnose the faults' ?

no they dont get LR assist to diagnose the fault, if they take it rather than you the dealer gets paid a higher warranty repair rate to make your job a priority, best to use them every time.gets done quicker., that what a landrover assist man told me anyway TO DARE IS TO DO
