The metal can be replaced by it's a big job involving the removal of many components including the fuel tank. The rear of the chassis is a water trap and is not adequately rust-proofed inside so rots from the inside out. The following link explains the problem and fix in detail: 28-12-2013: There is much forum discussion on the subject, but no definitive information on when Land Rover realised there was a problem and ensured these bolts were installed with threadlocker. There is no Land Rover recall for this issue, but they sell the bolt (part number LYP101400) with threadlocker applied. There are reports of a number of these bolts working loose and falling out causing terminal damage to the engine. The bolt holds the sprocket on for the oil pump in the sump. 'Pattern' versions of these parts are often poor quality and frequently fail. Stick to OEM (Girling) brake and clutch parts. And they include an extra sheet or protective sheet." 21-01-2012: It must have been recognised in the early 2000’s by LR as they now split the particular pipe from the bundle of pipes previously sold. This is a fundamental design issue and nothing to do with wear and tear or material failure etc so a medium time dependent issue with LR. Thus it is unlikely to be apparent below 5 yrs old or hard off road work. The chafing issue on the plastic (neoprene) pipe is because it is routed/crimped under the rear sub-frame between the plastic tank and wears on the metal body edges. (big fire risk and next to the plastic tank full of diesel). "Two of our LandRover TD5 Discos II have strangely just had the same problem in the high pressure fuel lines wearing away on the tank sub frame and spraying diesel onto the hot exhaust pipe. 26-08-2011:Īlert over chafing of fuel pipe. Apparently they are easily removed withyout gaining entry to the vehlcle. SOLID FLYWHEELS to replace DMFs from 01-07-2011: Rear brake piping also vulnerable to corrosion.Ī spring in the lock of the rear door can fail and the door can fly open without warning. Electronically controlled rear air suspension control wiring from the front of the vehicle can corrode causing failure when it gets wet. Excellent source of used LandRover parts generally is ACE actuator mounting chassis mounting brackets prone to failure and some ownwers have been told the car needs a new chassis as a result. If not, water leaks onto fusebox, knocking out electrics.Įxcellent source of reconditioned transmissions, drivetrain parts and engines and also manual to automatic conversions Rear wiper motor failure common. Vent plenum chamber drains have conical bungs designed to prevent ingress of water from below, but these very often get clocked by debris so bets to remove them if the car is mostly used on road. So much so that the supoply of replacement heads became used up. By 2007 cracked cylinder heads were becoming a very common problem on TD5s. Check for oil in coolant or loss of coolant. Ask for a full computer diagnostic as this should show up the problem. As there are no witnesses to verify events so how can my girlfriend demonstrate she was not instrumental in causing the accident, are there specialist independent assessors who can prove this was not her fault by means of checking the engine management systems of the vehicles involved? More importantly now the BMW will be recorded as damaged it will affect the re-sale value how can one claim compensation and still protect her insurance NCB? We would very much appreciate your thoughts on the matter."įrequent alternator failures due to ECUs giving an AC ripple on the 12 volts output. I question should this lady have been driving with a cast on her foot and was she fit to be driving a motor car. My girlfriend was stationary when the accident happened. The insurance company has been out to see our BMW and estimate repairs of over £1,500. They exchanged details and but she has now changed her story to say my girlfriend drove into her. The lady got out of her car and admitted liability at the scene stating she was driving her husband's car as she had a broken her ankle whilst also wearing a cast/boot and had not seen her given the BMW’s low ride height. In turn the Land Rover reversed back hitting the front of our BMW despite my girlfriend sounding the horn. The car in front of the Land Rover went to pull out then hesitated half way before then trying to reverse back. "My girlfriend was driving her BMW convertible in Ascot and was waiting stationary at a T junction behind a Land Rover Discovery. ![]()
