    I am thinking this recall on the CPS might have something to do with my truck? Who knows...

    I rode around in a defender the other day.. trying to figure out how to ship one of these bastards home lol

    Log into your insurance company's website, your vin should be listed there. That's how I always look mine up.

    A lot of dirt gets kicked up when off roading sometimes. Its either getting in through nozzle,top of tank (they are solid plastic now) and I'm not sure if they have a overflow tank it might be getting in there. I know that the cubby holes in the bed get very dirty. This is weird

    Geez this sounds like such a nightmare. Sounds like somewhere you have a defect that lets in dust/sand. Any other tacos with this issue? If yours is the only one then its a lemon right?

    As much crap I gave the OP, I would loose my shit if I was him. My truck may have ended up in the middle of a dealership.

    Yea, I've had problem with my truck but nothing like this.

    I would have lemoned it or pressed for a buyback.

    Then I would take a technician to the beach with me on a bro date after they cleared it out.

    Even if it took multiple trips to cause it to happen again.
