I had this really bad about four months ago, they put a new HP fuel rail on (third one i think) and told me it was sorted. Ever since it has been quite noisy but when I saw this I was well worried. As I have started sending legal letters to the dealers I jsut told them what I had read and Tuesday I got a phone call asking me what they coudl do to make the problem go away? I told them extended warranty, new engine and their promise they would look at the transmission issues agian. They have gone away to think about it!!! I don't hold out too much hope though.

Is it a recall or only rectify with a fault? Mike

It's not a recall, at present anyway, so I can only presume its advice to the dealer when a customer presents with this problem. And there must have been a significant number already to warrant this announcement and a modified engine from Ford. I asked on the other forum whether this was a LR-specific affliction as you'd guess that otherwise many thousands of Transits and several London Taxis would be in for an engine transplant. Also, I wonder if there is any action we can take to avoid this problem arising - probably not, it's maybe just down to the specifics of your particular engine resulting in this happening...

Indeed. I wonder whether the moderator of this forum could approach the Press Office of Land Rover and request a formal statement on behalf of the customer base represented here. That would save a lot of speculation on our part. Or we could await a future issue of one of the specialist magazines who must by now have picked this up and be preparing some copy.

I had another phone call form the dealers today, they are having a LR engineer from Lodge Land coming down to inspect my 110. Among other things he or she will be looking at the noisy engine (on start up). I don't know how hings will go and how receptive the engineer will be but I can only hope. At least they are doing something for the first time since November 07 when it started having problems. I have also ask for them to inspect and put in writting why the engine will accelorate for a few second on full throttle after I have taken my foot off. I know all others do this (so land rover tell me) and LR say is safe and surposed to do this but they have not put this in writting to me even though I have repeatedly asked for it.
I don't really hope for too much but I just don't want to let them off the hook to easly. When the results are done I will post them here as I seemed to have had most problems reported here, new clutch, new vacuum pump, oils seals on trasfer box, diff, gearbox, water in fuel, new pump, three new hP fuel rail, transfer box/gear box over heating, high fuel usage, I could go on for ever it seems.

well spoke to my dealer today
will pick up my 07 defender in the morning after new gear box as been fitted and clutch new type of clutch sent them a copy email of ssm38792 and asked about my one they seem to be a bit fed up we have access to this stuff
any way he reports back that my one is not knocking so will not need a new engine.  it did knock but that was the clutch problem not oil injectors. they just spent six weeks taking the top half of the engine apart down the the block level to fix oil leaks shame if the engine had to be replaced
it seem a few have had problems unless it making a noise on cold start up it never will i seem to agree my one needed a new gearbox and two clutchs after 12k but not all 07 models have needed that so don't worry daniel |

Hi there,
I start the post in the other site and thank to that I discovered this site That confused me is that the bulletin is almost public. (just you must paid some money to have acces to it), so I dont know why the dealers looks shocking when they saw it. Also I spoke with my dealer today (after sent by e-mail the ssm38792 some days ago) but the things down here are quite slowly. The dealer sent my e-mail to Brazil in order to request informatio, but nothing happens yet  .
So here I am waiting for a statment that can be useful. I hope that you can get more information there. By the way some time ago in a very cold morning during the start up the motor start to crank (not so heavily) like a misfiring of the pistons with loss of power. We finally stop the car, waiting some seconds and startup again without any noise/trouble. Should be a part of this problem? regards Eduardo MY 2007 110 SW PUMA 2.4: Big Fog of 64' MY 1994 Jayco 1207 Folding camper: "El Tremendo"  Click image to enlarge |

Mine runs fine on start up from cold but when I press the accelerator there is a coarse engine knocking noise. Disappears once engine has warmed up . Already had a faulty fuel switch replaced under warranty !
Is this the same problem as posted above ??  |
