sump
Just had a call from my friendly dealer to advise me that I should bring in my Defender ASAP for a new sump. Very Happy

"Oh, didn't your service adviser tell you last week that all Fenders were having new sumps fitted?" - no, they never tell me anything Lady, I have to squeeze anything out of them like blood from a stone. Wink

And I get a free oil change Mr. Green
I am going to leave my new oil filter on the front dashboard and see if the mechanic will change it without asking. Puma 110 - gone

done
Well, the sump has now been replaced and the Censored had the cheek to charge me ZAR269 just to fit my filter cartridge which I left on the dash with a note to the mechanic asking him to fit it for me.

Some more advice needed - when following my wife home I noticed the car is smoking (black) quite a bit now even when warm. She was not even pushing it hard (we never do) and I swear it never did that before when I followed behind.

Is it possible that the water I found in the fuel filter was a little too late and the injectors or fuel pump are knackered.
Can anyone tell me what symptoms came from water in fuel.
I did a proper measurement of the sample and found 46cc of water. The service bulletin I read somewhere mentioned 40cc as being a problem.
Thanks Guys Puma 110 - gone

After I had all the mods done to mine when there was water in the tank it smoked for about a week then cleared. I dont do many miles so I would think yours should clear pretty quickly. If it does not then take it back.
