So my Land Rover had a recall on the handbrake. The seal at the back of the transfer box can leak onto the brake shoes in the drum. The fix is to remove said drum, check for leaks and if necessary replace the seal and the shoes, refit prop with new nuts and bolts. Job done.
On mine i could see no sign of a leak (usually you'd get a drip out of the drum) but decided its probably best to have it checked and at least it won't then show any outstanding recalls.
Well after spending 2 hrs waiting in the main dealer, they said its done. I asked what was done and they said we removed the drum, checked and no leaks so we refitted with new bolts etc. Sounds fine.
Had a look underneath on my return home and nothing has been disturbed, no new nuts and not even a sign of a spanner having been on the old ones.
I already have a very cynical view of main dealers based on previous experiences and today did nothing to change that.
Presumably a warranty claim for labour and parts is already winging its way to JLR. Disgraceful.
