Mine is with Stratstone now. Was told today that both knuckles were being replaced (one had failed when driving the car) along with the drivers side strut which was damaged when the suspension collapsed. .. They actually drove it into the workshop from the customer car park as they said that their skids were too small for the size of my car. I queried why only one strut was being replaced as it was good practice for them to be replaced in pairs on any vehicle, yet alone one the size if the FF and was told that wasn't needed!! |

I called Marshall Peterborough as soon as I saw on the forum that it was going to happen and it went on Topix (three weeks ago) booked in for today. Got a call to yesterday to say that they have a few of these vehicles coming in (!!!!) and 'just in case' they need to be replaced they wanted to have the knuckles etc. on hand but....... wait for it ........ the parts aren't available !!! He was honest and said the recall was unexpected (arent they all?) and so there simply isn't enough parts around as 'everyone' is chasing around 75 sets he said, honest but doesn't give much confidence Now booked in for the end of the month - I wonder if I will get another call ? At least its acknowledged now and in the open , no more wear and tear type conversations after a problem which is positive. I did point out that if there was a problem and I'd acted promptly (which I have) and there was a delay due part non-availability and then there was a subsequent problem it would be entirely their liability - he acknowledged that and sad Land Rover were aware of the part problems.

JLR rang this afternoon from Birmingham and asked that I now leave the car with them, rather than wait for it, as they "don't know how long it will take". They are providing a taxi to bring me home and will collect me to pick the car up again.
