A mate in Sydney has/had a Range Rover Sport, reasonably late one and <50K on it, still under warranty. It broke down the other month and he towed it to the dealer who reported a brass bush in the fuel pump had flogged out. The quote to fix ... $24,000! Thats no typo, 24K. According to RR if this happens it needs a total rebuild of the engine as the brass goes through everything and traces are even injected into the engine clogging rings etc.
On asking for why it was not under warranty got back reply "because you must have put petrol in it instead". In the end he had the fuel tested and nope, all diesel to his delight so they did it under warranty.[ QUOTE]

Mmmm .......me thinkin someone came from the.....70% of the people DONT KNOW that they DONT KNOW, Or the 15% that DO know that they DON'T know!!
lol well how about this update I got today. I had thought he had sold it but on talking to him today hes only *tried* to sell it. On driving it last week it went in to limp home mode but couldn't even do that (limp home). The dealer picked it up and now reports that the computer got upset because the tyres had worn unevenly! lmao. He said they said it with a serious straight face too! Im sure the remedy offered once they "find out for sure" will be to buy 4 new tyres.
