Plenum/Intake Manifold
Hi,
I'm new to Land Rover and suddenly (1 month later) need to replace the Plenum and both valve motors in my new-to-me '04 Freelander. Question: The mechanic yesterday cleared the codes (at least the lights are off for now), and the Freelander is drivable. It drives fine - just a tiny little flutter in the engine noise. How long do I have before I NEED to get this done?
I've been researching parts - I've already found that I can save $700 if I buy the parts myself. I know the mechanic will just LOVE that. But I really just need to know what kind of timeline I'm looking at before I rush out and get it done. Do I have time to work on getting the dealer to cover some of the costs? Do I have time to haggle with the 3-month warrantor, etc. Or is the Rover going to conk out on me again in the middle of a trip across town?
Thanks,
Ben
