Here's the further update.... | |
Because I was wise? enough to get the Extended Warranty the dealer gain approval from Land Rover to fit a full new compressor and compressor valve at no charge! Which is exactly what I would have expected - but there's more news, I had requested 2 years ago that the sponge pieces at the bottom of the A pillar on both sides be changed due to being perished - this was done under the original warranty.
When it went in the other week for the suspension I said they needed doing again and could they deal with it. Got a call to say yes they could be renewed but would cost £90 because it's classed as trim and not covered by the Extended Warranty - I was a bit annoyed to say the least but said to go ahead.
The day I got the car back it was preceded by a phone call from the service manager to say that on of the items was on back order and that in view of the fact they had used quite a bit of diesel in road tests once the suspension was sorted they were going to fit them FOC!
Score!
p.s. estimated cost of full replacement of Air Suspension Compressor and Valve (inc dealer labour, vat and bits) is in the region of £3000! - Score! Bought it new and keeping it!
