Your opinion / advice please chaps

Hi there

A while my MY11 had a slight oil leak, which went in and was sorted.

Early this month it had it's MoT and 4th year service, all seemed OK until last week when I noticed oil spots again on drive.

I booked it into stealers as it has a year left on LR warranty, they rang me and said Oil Feeder Pipe is "weeping", we've had a look, cleaned the sump tray and don't think it warrants replacing pipe as its a 360.00 repair!

I did point out the currently on my drive is oil that should be in the engine, they said they'd keep an eye on it at service!

Are they taking the p Censored ? Should I be pushing for the pipe to be replaced?

A "weep" usually becomes a leak unlikely it will cure it's self. It's under warranty, your drive it's making a mess of tell them you want it done.

cheers

If it leaks or even weeps in my opinion it needs replacing! I would be pointing this out to them, and also that you are not willing to push a drip tray under the car every time you park it on your driveway. Rolling Eyes 2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

Thanks chaps, it's what I thought, I'll have a read of the warranty T&C's and take it up with service manager I think.

Although I'll wait until drips appear again first I suppose just in case they've cured it.

Hate the attitude of them, kind of like their doing you a favour by looking at your car MY2011 TDV6 HSE Privacy Glass, Sunroof, TV, sidesteps, Hawke stainless tips - Now gone
