Just before Christmas the 'Service Engine Soon' light came on on the dashboard, only 3000 miles since the last service. Also the A/C wasn't blowing quite as cold as it should. I took it into Land Rover of Fort Lauderdale and was given the following wonderful news (not all of which I'm sure I believe):
1. Need a new A/C line from the condensor to the compressor - $585
2. Need new breather hoses and a throttle body service - $525
3. The transmission fluid radiator is 'plugged' and is causing a transmission fluid overtemp and a failsafe code on the transmission. Replace radiator, upper and lower hoses and thermostat - $1650
They also said they'd spotted a small leak from the cylinder head gasket that was OK at the moment but would need doing sometime soon - $1400.
Is this typical for an '03 HSE? Any other problems that might be coming down the line? Should I spend the money or get rid of it now for something else? I love the car, but I don't want to throw good money after bad.
Thx in advance, and Happy New Year to everyone.
