Mines replaced by dealer at last service 30k under warranty Thumbs Up

Transformed the handling of the D3, I never realised it was that bad. Obvioulsy just crept up over time so felt normal. Confused

Hey Al . . . I hope that means replaced on Monday the 14th, and not the 14th time it has been replaced... Shocked

Apparently it is a known fault with 05 thru 06 plates. According to the dealer anyway.

What's that got to do with it? When chief monkey is away, talk to his deputy. If he hasn't authorised a deputy to make decisions it should be brought to the attention of the dealer principle (god monkey).

Suggest politely that deputy monkey may wish to do their job and talk to LR Tech to get warranty approval. If not forthcoming, ring LRCC and ask them why your car appears to be excluded from this well documented problem. Works a treat with EPB problems so should work here too Thumbs Up I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

ViaMichelin thinks Remonstrate is in Rickmansworth, so about 110 miles Thumbs Up I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
