Engine coolant hose quick connect to engine was leaking and caused the failure of the alternator.gulf coast land rover service department charged me $1,121.99 to replace the alternator, coolant hose and replacement coolant. NHTSA#10033405.
While driving my 2009 land rover lr2 on the highway, my tire blew out. Upon investigation, the tire pressure monitoring system - that came with the car, installed by land rover - had corroded and caused the tire to collapse. This was very dangerous as my tire went from full to empty at a high rate of speed. I replaced the tire and TPMS. A few months later, the same thing happened while again driving at a high speed on the highway.
My 2009 land rover lr2, has sounded very loud while driving on the highway. I thought it may have just been a tire issue that they were old and needed rotated or replaced. While my car was in the shop for an alarm system repair the dealership did a multipoint inspection. They said nothing was leaking or immediately wrong but I should get it back in for a more thorough inspection. I did and found my rear differential needs replaced.
