how much will land rover spend on a warrenty claims per car

as some of the old boys will know my 2007 xs double cab is so poorly build that land rover have just managed to keep it on the road for the last 27 months

after the three new clutches not cheap say £1500
new gear box say £1000
paint work say £1000
1 new head around say £2000
1new nead gasket with head removed say £1000
front hub seals ?
any of the rest of the problems ?

11 months in hire cars

27 months of problems they seem to have come to the end of the road it needs a complete respray now and its got the boys fuel rail problems

i would say well over £19.700.00 on warrenty stuff os far with hire cars

enterprize is around £35 to £50 a day depending on which car

lets do the maths poorly say 30 days a month X 11 month 330 days x say £40 a day £13200.00

whats a full respray going to cost
when will they call it a day

There is no limit. After all the issues I had they still insisted on repairing the car. The enterprise loan car hire costs alone were more than the value of my (now sold) utility.

There isnt a limit - but there are ways they limit it, eg: if a repair fails it should be the dealer that fixes it at their cost - although this doesnt apply to all things, paint work etc is one. Mike

why do you need to have a full respray?

Also, you've had a new gearbox. What made you realise that you needed it. Ours is a bit stiff from 2nd to 3rd and makes a kind of grating noise, but they say this is normal? LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 XS SW 2.4

rangra, it's not normal get it in and get it sorted mine was the same and now after a new box it drives like a dream
very smooth change and no grating, it is most probably your selector that has worn

Thats what worked for me don't let them fob you off bud, get the head mechanic to test drive it with you in it, if it is worse when its cold try to get him to drive it cold also ask to test drive a new one to compare the difference good look

Always worth getting someone to drive with you.

I had problems with my first Freelander that was explained away as "oh that sounds normal".

After a test drive with a mechanic, I had a new gearbox two days later

Altogether that car had:

New Engine
New gear box
New clutch
New clock/radio display
New power steering hoses
Repair to central locking
Repair to drivers electric window
New rear brakes shoes (I think that might have been a re-call)
And various other things I can't even remember now.

As it had a full valet inside and out every time it went in, the service staff used to refer to my visits as "warranty washes". We worked out in the two years I owned it, they washed it 11 times, I think I only did it myself 3 times

I sold it three days after the warranty ran out!

However I must say i have always been impressed by the service from Land Rover, I was most impressed to be contacted for a re-call on my Discovery to have the fuel tank replaced, it was eleven years old at the time

its been very strange

after the new head was leaking oil clutch problems and the transfer box leaking when my dealer had returned it saying its all fixed . my land rover customer relations executive asked if i would be so kind as to take it a recommended repairer not a dealer ?

they gave me the address and off i went. they do jaguar and landrover servicing only they replaced the clutch again and put two seal in the transfer box that were missing from new build and updated the ecu . replaced the clutch slave cyinder and bearing had it back a week and its now got fuel rail problems again

they had a look at the paint and said it need a respray

if you hold a light over the paint you can see the white primer and the black is just a thin coat on all panels

so not sure now which way its going as they don't want to respary it with a cost of over 6k

yes nidge i still have the black abertross around my neck as it a company van its a bit harder just to out it

I was wondering.
Do all these warrantly claims cost land rover?

it struck me the other day when a friend of mine had a shower / tiling refitted due to a problem with the house. No cost to the house builder simply got the sub contractor to put it right?

does land rover not have some recall on the manufacturer who must I presume provide some sort of warranty with the goods they supply?

Is it possible to renew the warranty on the land rover for another 3 years once it comes to an end? How much does it cost? Any ideas?

Yes you can

The price is based on the condition of the car at 3 years ie mileage, level of work and service history. The price could be anything from £300 to £800. There will also be limitations on what you can claim. In other words its not as good as the original but should be worth taking out

Cheers Andrew, I do plan to extend my warranty on my '08 D110, but I don't drive the car that much I have only put 17,500 kms on the clock and it has been serviced 3 times already as per dealers instructions (10,000km or 6 months which every comes first) as it is not my work car just mostly take out on weekends.
