axl, mate they are pulling your plonker and taking you for a ride at the same time, you are obviously in Beds, where I have no idea, but if the stealer that you are talking about is the Newport Pagnel one then I'd talk to these people http://www.woburn4x4.co.uk/, they really know their rangies, and do a lot of body off jobs without removing the body. And there is on way that they would charge anything like the amounts that you've been quoting Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

miggit, I half suspected that might be the case and yes, the dealer is the one in Newport Pagnell.

I could have told you that! it's a monocoque construction (means it has no chassis) so if you lift the body the rest will hit the floor running They must brace the 2 subframes together to remove the body, or it must be performed by David Blaine

Glad to hear it's running nicely - that is a good sign. Bear in mind it can still come back though.
Stupid me! I knew that, but so used to thinking from a D3/RRS perspective.
They certainly can, but results do vary. A flush + Dr Tranny got me an extra ~20k, others have been less fortumate, and some have caught it early and it's cured it permanently. Something I should point out is that issues can become apparent after a flush that were previously masked by contaminated fluid - there's a significant risk on higher mileage boxes, so it needs to be considered carefully.

A little update. I drove the car on and off and the 30-50 vibration hasn't reappeared (touching wood).

I had 2 injectors give up the ghost a few weeks ago on my TD6, they didn't throw up any codes at all But form having what I feared was TCC failure, starting again, for a few weeks, to the injectors actually failing totally, so that the car felt like it had very bad clutch judder at low revs. It has all gone with the replacement of the nackered injectors, and all of the injectors were cleaned ( in an ultrasonic cleaner, not some wonder juice in the tank ).

Just to update this thread. After the mega flush with the Wynn's machine last August, the dreadful 30-50 mph vibration has never returned. As I was preparing myself to get a replacement TC, I'm happy with the 250£ spent on the flush. |

Well now that you've got to the bottom of the problem and solved it, have the dealers offered to pay the expense... as it was under warranty.... and they have failed to hold up their end of the contract... sounds like a breach to me

I'd probably start with the TC and worse comes to worst try and rebuild the gearbox myself. I do have a letter from the dealership confirming that if the vibration turns into fault, they would take care of the car even when it's out of warranty. In fact it was their suggestion to keep driving it until something gives as they couldn't find the cause after looking at the car a few times. I've had LR involved in this as well so they can't back out. I don't want to use the mega flush card to get my 250 back. I will use it when the time comes to get a newer RR. |

I would at the very least be asking the dealer to now service the gearbox properly for you... The megaflush has missed the filter change which if you were having TC issues will be potentially full of “stuff”
