ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE DRIVE LINE ON OUR 2002 LANDROVER DISCOVERY II IS GOING OUT ON OUR SUV. WE HAVE DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM IN DEPTH WITH THE DEALER BUT AS OF YET THE SITUATION IS UNRESOLVED. THEY FEEL THAT BECAUSE THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THAT WE SHOULD FIX IT OURSELVES. I FEEL THAT ON A CAR THIS NEW THAT THE DRIVE LINE SHOULD NOT BE DEFECTIVE AS WE DO NOT OFF ROAD IN THIS VEHICLE. THE CAR ALSO HAS A BAD HEATER CORE WHICH WILL COST ANOTHER 1200.00 TO FIX. *AK
