Hi all,
New to the site!
Very long story as short as possible... May elaborate when I regain the will to live.
Bought a brand new 90xs in march 12. Numerous faults; leaks, break downs, cat falling off, fumes in cabin, leaks, strange noises, oil leaks, numerous damages while in care or dealers...
Land rover replaced gearbox, transfer box, brakes, a pretty endless list until eventually they admitted defeat and have now given me a replacement almost a year later.
Sounds good except the replacement also leaks!!!:
The leak I'm sure is coming in from the windscreen exactly as the last as I can see it trickle in just beside the heated front screen, down onto the foam seal, across onto the hinge bolt, running down plastic dash onto door stay and dripping down onto floor mat.
Should I just seal the screen with arbomast/ captain tolley's? Landrover tried in vain last time despite this description and covered everything in sealer, damaged the dashboard to the extent that they had to replace, everything except the window rubber. Can't face it all again?
Any advise or is this just typical of land rover and defenders?
