Defender for daily drive?
Discussion
My problem is that I like Land Rovers.
Three EGR faults in five months alone are frustrating enough.
Leaking and rattling window frame and failed body seal with water ingress have just added to it really.
Oh and when I bought the car, the dealer told me in great detail about the previous owner, not the other two that appeared on the V5 when it arrived.
So I just have asked about previous owners but I do feel that they should have changed the valve two days after I bought the car and when it first went wrong.
According to the dealer who replaced it yesterday, it was still on the original valve so what did they do to the car on the other two instances?
Personally would have been happy if they had just blanked it off, just so long as the issue had been fixed.

Well thanks again for all your advice and comments.
The EGR valve was finally replaced on Monday as apparently when under warranty, they just do what Land Rover tell them to do, so that should be an end to it.
They are going to offer me a 'fantastic' deal on a new one so I'll then decide whether to keep this one or start afresh.
I guess that I have over-reacted a bit but frustration has set in really set in.
If they had changed the valve at the start, at least two of the visits would have been avoided plus the costs to them of providing a courtesy car etc.
