The saga continues....

So, the currently list of work is sitting at:

Rear Caliper un-siezed
Rear pads and discs replaced
Front bearings replaced
Fuel senders replaced
Air Con re-gassed
Air Con seals replaced and re-gased again.
Rear caliper replaced after seizing again.

Currently awaiting the following:
Air Con pipe replacement and re-gas again...
Rear pads replaced again....
Track rod end replacement.

However it seems the pipes are on back order...current date....August 24th!!! Not really much use when I due to travel to France in a few weeks time. Needless to say, if they don't appear soon I shall be making a long call to Land Rover UK!

Wonder if TLC will be able to confirm the delay on pipes or he has any in stock!

Still, after all that and visiting the petrol station a little more than I would like, still loving the D3 and seems I've got my moneys worth out of the Approved used badge and the Warranty.

why not use flexible air con pipe available from and good air con dealer - the shaoped pipes are a lot more expensive

Primarily because the warranty is paying for them.

Good idea though, if it comes to it, I shall suggest it as an alternative.
