Could you please help me ,my car has got a diff seal leaking with only 30k how long a job is it to do .Its under warranty Thank you

My 2014 had a leaking pinion seal on the rear diff when I bought it, with less than 20,000 miles. Just one of the reasons why I will never go back to that dealer again. They must have seen it, and chose to ignore it, presumably because as a warranty claim, they get paid to fix it.

However, it was fixed under warranty and it should be easily be done within the day. It isn`t a very big job. I had a courtesy car overnight when mine was done.

My 2015 had this at 15,000. Same as Black Bess but LRA diagnosed it and local dealer fixed it under warranty Current: MY15 RRS2 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic, Aruba Gold, HUD, Meridian 1700w

Thank you yes Hunters Derby picked up the leaking diff ,they do a look over for faults, it has gone in to have the dynamic system repairs again .under extended warranty

My 16MY AB has just had this picked up by my Dealer at the 2nd service (22,000mls).

Booked in to be done 4th April on "Pick-up & deliver " service so no hassle!

Thats wierd as my car last week went back in for rear camera failure plus steering rod replacement and it took a week to do, just before it was due to come back they phoned to say they had discovered my diff was leaking.

this took a further 5 days to get approved by LR used warranty as they didnt want to replace it without every option being tested, in the end the screws that held the diff together were siezed anyways so a replacement was all they could do, very pleased it had used warranty left

it appears this is quite common by the sounds of it, perhaps i should be looking under the car before for leaks before the end of the warranty next june just to be safe?? MY18 SCV8 Satin flux silver

This does seem to be a common issue, I noticed a spot of oil on the garage floor at 3 1/2 years old. JLR would only pay 50% of the £1300 bill as out of warranty "goodwill". Fortunately I have 3rd party insurance that covered the remainder.

Got my car back after a week to do the diff seal 'it took 3 days to get the warranty approved,what a load of the dealers are up to there necks with repairs 🤐

I'm not sure bkhk, it was on the job sheet when it finaly got booked in for its rear camera failure (6weeks to book in) as a product recall, wasn't given a reason except it's to be done, sorry for little detail mate. MY18 SCV8 Satin flux silver

I had a similar experience. Dealer picked it up whilst on an inspection for another issue and it was done under warranty, However there was no explanation why it was not done before they had sold it a few weeks earlier. 2016 RRS 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography Dynamic in Montalcino Red and Stealth Kit
