It is fairly common
The unit is not repairable
It's not a particularly cheap repair

Double check it's definitely from the seal on the ram, and not from the o-rings on the pipes, this would be a much cheaper repair

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Crying or Very sad

Its covered by the used approved warranty I just checked, just take it to any LR main dealer you'll be sorted. Infact you'd be better off ringing LR assistance they will take the car away for free and arrange a courtesy car.

A 2007 vehicle won't be covered under an Approved warranty though. It could have a Select/aftermarket warranty, but perhaps wait for the OP to mention//confirm it first? Idea Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Have a look at this thread:
http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic18265-15.html
There's a repair kit that might help but it's the only time it's been seen on this forum as far as I know. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Never seen, or even heard of that before. Will be very interesting to see the long term results, but they look very promising so far Bow down

Yeah first they said it "wasn't leaking enough to warrant repairing it" so I got a second opinion from my local land rover dealer and they said the unit had failed so they had to repair it plus got a cheque for £100 as compensation [img][/img] that's the photo of the unit
