Bloomin' landy

(1/1)

smo:
Broken again!

I went for a walk today, and on my way home stopped off at a lookout viewpoint for an icecream to be greated with the sound of running "water" and then a diesel smell - sure enough its mine and its leaking out.

Quick inspection revealed that the fuel filter near the rear had spat its dummy and broken the drain plug leaving a big hole to piddle out of, and so it did, nearly 1/4 of a tank before the recovery men arrived and then on moving it 20 yards into position for the lorry it deposited the other 1/4 tank under high pressure all over the road  :evil:

Not a happy bunny, LR are gonna get another earfull tomorrow, least its under warranty.


The plus side is my hire car (paid for by LR) - bloody fantasic, absolute rocket ship VW Golf 2.0TDi DSG auto....OMG its quick, really really quick ;)

landraver:
Yeah but anything seems quick after driving a defender! :lol:

M19 ROO:
lol this is true!

goin from drivein 2.1 nova's and 2.1turbo astras i got in my lanny and my wold slowed down! got used to it and took my mums diahatsu copen out (656cc 16v turbo) i couldnt cope! 1 inch from the floor and pulled really quick through the gears lol

i then took me nova out and did a funny smell in the car when i put my foot down  :lol:

bad luck about the defender tho mate, but like u say atleast its got the warrenty!

Evilgoat:
DSG rocks, damm simple in how it works but a clever idea :) Want the DSG Tip box for the Audi.

6 gearchanges and now poer drop all the way up. Thrasher could answer it but I suspect the RRSC is a DSG

smo:
Whilst everything does seem fast compared to the defender (well, almost anything) this car really goes some - tis great fun :D
