Thanks Nandad, I just had a very quick look through that (I'll have a more thorough look after work, thanks) … on the complaint template I found it says 'The Consumer Rights Act 2015 states that goods should be as described, of a satisfactory quality and fit for the purpose' but these...

Just rang them again and they said yes I do have rights if it was an off the shelf item but as they were a special order they can't accept the return. They can't return them to their supplier he said.

Thank you Arctic2 I will try ringing them again then! At least my old Landy is back on the road once more, to add a few more miles to it's 210,000 :D

Hi, thanks for your reply Arctic2. Well, a kind friend tried to do the job first to save me some money and took one look at everything rusty under there and said we ought to replace backplates. Long story short, the job was too much for him and so I had to limp it to the garage to sort out, who...

Had rear brakes done on my '51 plate FL and bought new backplates. Turns out I didn't need them afterall and now I can't return them as they were special order! Genuine Landrover parts. Wondered if anyone doing same job needs them? I am just looking to re-coup as much of the £155 they cost me...

215-65-16 on mine if it's any help.

Thanks Stuart yes nice to get the MOT sorted but the losing power problem goes on! I will post on here if I have any further luck with it, especially disconnecting that MAF sensor. Frustrating I couldn't even undo the little nuts to get the engine cover off last time :mad: they were so tight...

Deep joy, it has been in the garage today and they drove it about for ages and couldn't get it to do it, said it ran like a dream! Surprised as it's doing it every trip I do now?? Only thing their laptop said was 'boost pressure' even though it wasn't doing the fault, which they said was...

p.s. we asked the parts place for price of a turbo boost solenoid thingy and he say £108!! I'm sure I've seen on here someone said they got one for £40 ish. Any recommendations please?

No he did't unplug anything sorry, just drove it to the parts place without an air filter in at all (it still did the accelerator problem thing) so he then put the new air filter in when we got back. Don't think his heart was really in it :/

Well lovely weather to be outside and under the bonnet :rolleyes: ...so all we got round to was changing the air filter, and you won't be surprised to hear it wasn't that haha!! Think it will have to go into the garage next week, I will point them in the direction of the turbo boost solenoid or...

Ok will do thanks, I'll report back and let you know how we get on tomorrow :)

That's great information thanks guys :) It's difficult to diagnose when most of the time it's running and accelerating brilliantly. Fingers crossed it's one of the not too expensive solutions you've mentioned and the Landy will live on :D

Hello Arctic2, thanks for your reply. I'm not sure about limp mode, isn't that usually accompanied with a warning light? No warning lights on mine. It does pick back up again but not usually until I've got to the top of the hill or basically until I've eased off the accelerator and will bowl...

Hello again, been a while but since your invaluable help on here my beloved old FL1 has trundled on in 2WD world, happily passing the 200,000 miles mark! Thank you. So thought I'd pick your expert brains again with an intermittent power problem. Searched on here before anyone shouts at me ;)...

Thank you, I've passed all of this on and he's going to check those things for me when he can. Only the rigid brake pipes were changed, so that may be an answer.

Thanks for the reply htr, sorry for my ignorance but what 'springs' did you have replaced that were related?

Ok great thank you. With the mileage it's done and very little renewed on it, hope it's that as none of that sounds too expensive phew! Thanks.

Morning! So ever onwards and upwards and I'm still happily running in 2WD! :) Treated it to a much overdue service and rusty brake pipes were mentioned, so got those done but if I could just pick your expert brains once again please.... the guy who's kindly doing all this work said he wasn't...

Hello again, just a little update. GrumpyGel and others you were spot on with thinking this was a mis-diagnosis from the garage that wanted £3,500! Shocking! My knight in shining armour has removed the pinion from the IRD and the drained oil was clean and all was in pretty good nick considering...
