Undersealing my range rover and got a surprise. Me thinks the garage that charged £300 Labour to replace the pins on the clutch arm may have taken a small shortcut :/

 

[DanClarke]

Oh dear,
Can you prove it was us then Guv'nor?

 

[acidK1]

Only had it 2 weeks, but have a receipt in paperwork from December from a 'land rover specialist' but for all I know for some reason it could have been done after

 

[neilly]

You have got to be kidding me...............

Cheers

 

[Marmaduke]

Wow, I mean just wow .... Has it got cut marks on the edges like it's been done with an angle grinder or is it splintered like something has whacked it?

 

[neilly]

Would have thought it was something you might notice on a cursory examination before purchase tbh...........

Cheers

Makes you wonder what the rest of it is like

 

[acidK1]

Checked chassis but can't say that checking holes in gearbox comes into my inspection list.

Rest of the truck is in really good condition, genuinely looks like it's been looked after. Has been cut with an angle grider, can see the mark just to the right of the hole.

 

[Ratae]

Wow!
Too neat to be smashed off & you can see a couple of slips.

 

[bankz5152]

Am I right in thinking they cut that out for access?

If so what the actual ****.

 

[acidK1]

Cut it out to get to the fork that disengages the clutch. Save time taking box out but still charge for thinking about it!

Hate to see what your going to use for a wading plug.

 

[jamesmartin]

that is some bodge job

 

[dieseldog69]

That's impressive isn't it, the least they could have done was drilled the bell housing and put a plate with captive nuts on in there and bolted the bit back in and smeared a bit of black silicone around it, you'd never have noticed then would you

 

[Hicap phill]

Now a good bodger would have glued the parts back in after.

 

[dieseldog69]

Hate to see what your going to use for a wading plug.

On dry land it's an air cooled clutch and when he goes wading he's got a water cooled clutch

Should really keep quiet about it, he might have to pay more if they find out he knows about the limited edition not so optional extra

 

[Hicap phill]

I hope the garage that done the clutch did not do the MOT?

 

[Shimsteriom]

I think you know what to add to your inspection list for next time eh!

 

[Kwakerman]

Are those cut marks still clean metal, if so it wasn't done that long ago. Also do the bell housing bolts look like they have been off recently? If the answer is yes to the first and no to the second then I think we can have a good guess at what happened in the garage!

 

[Kev12]

Ridiculous bodge, cant have saved more than a couple of hours either
