| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The passenger cabin filled with smoke. apparent cause is a blown cam plug. dealer claims cold climate causes build-up of vapor presure in the engine. the plug blows out and oil pours onto the hot exhaust system. dealer claims they have seen this before, and that a cold climate kit that is used in canada resolves the issue. but land rover will not pay for the modification which cost me $296! this could have easily caused a fire of an accident.*ak |
