Anyone from South Africa got this done under Warranty? Elsewhere?



BvanDyk on 4x4community also had to pay but made a huge noise!

3 Months later they quietly refunded the whole amount into his bank account.

Do not take no for an answer!!!!


p.s. mine was done at 48k km at LR Centurion and was paid 100% by waranty.

I also find that posting something about your issues on LRSA's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LandRoverSouthAfrica) tends to get their attention very quickly Thumbs Up --

Hey watchit Twisted Evil

Land Rover Menlyn refused to do the clutch. Winston didnt want to do it and said I'll be wasting my time, and that Warranty won't pay.

Then I took it to Land Rover Centurion.
They did it without asking questions.
But 3 days after receiving my vehicle back, got a call that the warranty will only pay 25% of it.

It took me 3 months to convince them to pay 100%. Due to the recent recall, I was able to convince them to refund me.
Land Rover SA payed the money back.
This is after the 4th time I asked them to review their decision. Very Happy

I've had 2 clutches done within 80k, both covered under warranty without a hassle. Third one is behaving the same as the other two after 3k, so I'll just live with it until I hear good reports about Ver3.0.

Yes this is at Menlyn......

But if there has been a class act before and others got a full refund then I dont see why they shouldn't do it.

Mine's been in since June, barely 2000km done and already it's starting to rattle the same way the original did.... --

Stop struggling with those fools at Menlyn and go direct to Centurion. Speak to Wimpie Willers(head technical adviser/oke/dude/manager--whatever they call them Rolling Eyes ) He is very knowledgable and always help.

I got the same run around at Menlyn about it. Show them the recall, and ask them to do the recall.

Same here Sad
But gear changes are still smooth, and no other funny "clunks".

2008 - no change needed (don't drive in low box much) Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

They took a photo of the clutch to send to Land Rover SA so make a call if they are going to replace it or not. I uploaded it to my galary. Not sure what I should be looking for?
