camshaft positioning sensor recall
A lot of you will be aware that there has been a recall on the camshaft positioning sensors.
Unfortunately mine failed prior to the recall at a cost of £1,352.26. Once I received the recall notice, I contacted LR and said that as it is a known problem, could I be reimbursed. They have agreed to reimburse the sensor £296 plus VAT but have said they will not reimburse the labour as it wasn't done at a franchise dealership and will not reimburse any other parts as they are not on their recall list!
I am pleased they are reimbursing what they are but this last point has really annoyed me as the other parts, I would have thought, would be automatically necessary when replacing the sensor, including fluids and more importantly the Crankshaft Sensor ring which is £117.50 plus VAT. Land Rover's customer services centre have advised that they re-use the Sensor ring!
This doesn't sound right to me. Do any of you more technical people agree with what they are saying?
This is a copy of the invoice:

Try for more, but from experience, once they have made their mind up, they won't shift.
