Wafoo - where did you buy the vehicle? Was it privately or from a dealer? If it's from a dealer, take it back and demand they fix it. That is your right under the law. Don't be fobbed off by the "warranty says no, mate" response. They have a legal obligation to fix it unless they told you it was leaking when you bought it. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Well apart from the ‘thing’ I shan’t mention, you’ll have had 2 of what I would consider the 4 main things that would go wrong on that age of car. The ACE pipes, the roll bars, the EPB and the other one which I won’t jinx. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Tbf I think the bars only go if there's a leak and not enough oil getting to them |

I believe there’s no seals on the outer side of the bars and like everything else that rotates, they ware out and this is accelerated by dirt and contaminates. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Excellent, pipes corroded through, so sod it, pipes to be changed, new valve block, seal kits booked in for Thursday, just waiting for the suspension to give up the ghost to round off the week |

Garage say they have about 50% success rate fitting new pipes to the old valve body with corrosion etc, if it leaks the whole lot has to come off again, they're a Land Rover indie so I'll go with it |
