Asm at Thame were recently advising they have 10 million pounds of JLR products from insurance company.
Presume the flooded Derbyshire dealers?
Would they have the right thing? |

| Warped exhaust manifold, allowing gasket to fail and probably snapped studs for the manifold. That’s what mine was when I had one👍🏽 |

Got mine back today. Both sides changed even though only one 'needed' it.
Lots of copper grease where the balljoint pin goes into the knuckle.
Seems to drive fine as well.
However the footbrake d ... |

The car was smoking badly, the oil light came on and was running super lumpy, i ... |

My recollection of the money spent is a bit vague as it was all around 2016 to 2017.
