So the car was collected in November and due to certain items being on back order from Landrover I got it back today, first impressions were not great, the front tow eye cover that was removed with all its clips and placed in the boot was fixed in place with two silver tech screws 😡 who does that I was livid, then on opening the car the door cards and passenger seat had oil from dirty hands on them again livid, the cover for the neutral switch wasn’t replaced.

Not a great start so when the bloke started the car and the belts were squealing I though great sounds crap and a little lumpy, I had a look at the fan and there was a thin coat of oil on it and some oil on the front of the engine, I know for a fact it was oil free when collected as I’d basically renewed everything on the front of the engine including the crankcase oil seal a few months earlier.

So paid the driver and went for a drive, straight away I could feel a very slight judder just above idle I got less than 1/2 mile when it shook violently there was a loud POP and we stopped, one of the injectors has been blown out, on inspection both clamp bolts had snapped ffs 😡😡

Straight on the phone to garage, they got the driver back and it’s on its way back to the garage, I won’t name them yet as I think it’s only fair to give them a chance to sort it out properly but I’m well off at the moment,

I feel for you mate. They sound like cowboys. What are their Google reviews like?

Top reviews they only do landrovers, personally I think it’s been in bits for a long time waiting for the parts to come in and things were missed when it was finally put back together, I’m sure it will all be sorted and as should have been, just had a rant as I was ready for it to be back and properly off ithad to go back 2012 Range Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8
