I originally wrote on this forum months ago regarding my disco....
I bought it in May and within an hour the central locking had gone on the drivers side, then the gears became difficult to engage, the fog lights didn't work, nor did the side lights nor did the front headlight washers.
I had to brake sharply one day and there was this shuddering and then the ABS, TC and hill decent lights came on and haven't gone off since.
The battery now won't hold charge and there is a whirring noise come from the diesel tank...when will it ever end!!!
Well, after numerous emails and phone calls (and my husband went down there and hand delivered a sales of goods act letter, but no one was in) we finally got through to someone at Langford Garage in Maldon and this is the letter i recieved back.
Dear Caroline,
I have read your letter and can offer the following
Look at the gears and rectify the problem
Rectify the ABS fault
Rectify the Traction Control Fault
Rectify the HDC Fault
Our warranty we provide is 3 months engine and gearbox with a claim limit
of £750, im happy to honour the above even though the warranty has expired
and the above items are not covered
We can investigate the other issues but would not be able to pay for the
repairs however we can offer a trade price if you wanted them done by our
land rover specialist
I suspect the whirring noise would be the fuel pump or blocked fuel filter,
washers will be the pipes in the bumper blocked, battery will need
relacing, fog lamps will be switch, fuse, or bulbs and the central locking
is a common fault on discovery and the parts are aprrox £40
If you agree with this then please contact us and we can book your vehicle
in
Kind Regards
Langford Garage
My issue is, I don't know what to say in reply. Do i accept his offer or am I entitled to a lot more?
I also live along way from the garage so getting down there would be a problem.
Any advice would be much appreciated...thanks guys
