TSB & Recalls Tab
Gentlemen,
How many of you have browsed the tab that reads TSB & Recalls?
I just did for my first time.
I saw a few interesting pieces of info:
(1) Engine Mount Deterioration
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
DISCOVERY Series I (LJ)All
SITUATION:
EXCESSIVE ENGINE NOISE AND/OR VIBRATION DUE TO ENGINE MOUNT DETERIORATION
A customer may complain of excessive engine noise and/or vibration. Damaged front engine mounts may be the cause. Front engine mounts can deteriorate due to their close proximity to hot exhaust manifolds.
Issue: 2
Date: 06/18/99
Accelerator Cable Adjustment Improvements
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
RANGE ROVER (LP) Up to XA410481
DISCOVERY (LJ) All
SITUATION:
POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE
A customer may complain of poor throttle response in a Range Rover or Discovery vehicle. The source of this problem may be that the accelerator cable setting is lost due to slippage of the adjuster in the threaded region (see circle in illustration).
RESOLUTION:
REPLACE ACCELERATOR CABLE WITH NEW SPECIFICATION PART
A new accelerator cable has been developed with a modified design to p [...]

Power Assisted Steering Hose Leakage
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
DISCOVERY (LJ) SA081991 to WA783500
SITUATION:
OIL LEAKAGE FROM POWER ASSISTED STEERING (PAS) PIPES
An oil leak from the low pressure steering box-to-reservoir pipe may be observed. The symptom occurs particularly in markets where high ambient temperatures prevail.
RESOLUTION:
REPLACE APPROPRIATE PIPE
Where a customer complaint of oil leakage is traced to the steering box-to-reservoir hose/pipe assembly, replace the leaking pipe with the improved hose/pipe assembly.

Land Rover Molytex EP00 swivel grease (STC3435) may be used to replace the oil lubricant in front swivels at routine maintenance. Under conditions where there is no seal leakage, the oil may be drained and the grease fill used without any disassembly.*
If either the LH or RH swivel seals are found to be leaking, perform the following inspection:
^ Drain both LH and RH swivels of oil.
^ Inspect the LH and RH swivel pin housing chrome sealing surfaces for corrosion, peeling or pitting.
^ If the chrome sealing surface is corroded, peeling or pitted, the swivel pin bearing housing must be replaced with part number FTC51O5. FTC51O5 is an improved housing that incorporates a revised hardened sealing [...]

Oil Pan Bolt Oil Leakage
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
RANGE ROVER (LP) up to VA374534
DISCOVERY (LJ) up to VA738466
SITUATION:
OIL LEAKAGE FROM OIL PAN BOLTS
On all V8 engines with cross-bolted main bearing caps, the drillings for the four oil pan bolts, indicated by arrows in Figure 1 pass through to the adjacent cross bolt holes. An oil leak path can develop down the thread of these oil pan bolts.
Discovery 4.0-liter engine oil pick-up tube bolts also provide an oil path to the sump bolts.
RESOLUTION:
REPLACE OIL PAN BOLTS
In the event of oil leakage around the heads of the oil pan bolts, remove all traces of oil and replace the bolts with new "patch" bolts or use Loctite(R) 577 to seal the bolts.
If the oil pan has been removed to seal leaks a [...]

SITUATION:
SUNROOF POPPING OR CLICKING
When opening, the sunroof makes a popping or clicking noise before going into tilt position. This is because the rear locking catch of the glass is not disengaging fully before the roof goes into tilt.
RESOLUTION:
MODIFY SUNROOF ASSEMBLY
To resolve a complaint of a "popping" noise it is necessary to shave off a 1 mm (0.040 inch) piece of plastic material within the sunroof assembly as outlined in the repair procedure.

They are model codes. I just stumbled upon this and thought it would be a good thing for us DiscoI owners to be aware of. Click on the tab at the header of the forum pages, there was a lot more, I just did a cut and paste of the ones that grabbed my attention or that I had either experienced or read of others on here having those issues.
There is something about a subscription for the full details availability, I guess very little is free these days.
The items are listed on there in order of the newest date to the oldest date. It also showed the Corporate Cheapness of LR in dealing with customer complaints. There was on that caught my eye about spark plug wires. They told the dealerships that if there was a problem with spark plug wires they were to test all 8 and only replace the ones that actually measured out of tolerance. They would not pay if all 8 were replaced only individual bad wires. What kind of customer service is that.
On the ones about oil leaks, the dealers were instructed to reuse the end seals when possible because the accounting system showed excess usage of new seals, how do you like that.
I spent several years developing work procedures and quality records so I have a lot of documentation experience. Given some time I may go back and do some restructuring to group like items together for easier reference. That is when I am not getting my hands dirty working on my LandRover.
But I refuse to assist pompous jerks that drive Sergenti Freelanders and have an aversion to tools, ramps, getting their hands dirty while they insist on calling a senior citizen like me a "fool".
Have Fun with your Rover, I certainly do!
