Is it co-incidence or collusion?
When I came back from my last trip away in the HM I noticed straight away that there was a problem with brakes in the D4 - its week's rest had not done it any good.Dealer said to bring it in and they'd have a look as it sounded like something was sticking. On the way there I got a warning light. The outcome was a new set of rear discs and brakepads, the later they reckoned where the originals from 2012 and had done well at 96000k but were now very corroded - they did the work there and then, 3 hours work altogether and a bill for just under £600 - fine, Im good to go and happy BUT they reported that I had a big, deep slice out of the inner edge of a rear tyre through which the cord was exposed - OK I'll do somethig about that the next day, doing price research first and being also aware that I would have to buy 2 tyres for the rear axle. I usually buy 4 at a time but the tyres that are on are not even half worn, so 2 it was going to be. Three days later 2 tyres fitted - £360. They reported that the tyre wear on the original tyres pointed to the need to have the tracking checked. Three days later all done - £30.
This is a lesson on how to spend a grand in just 7 days on a vehicle which is highly maintained by a good LR dealer ,they do exist.
Three different places did each stage of the work and the reports, in three different counties with no know link to each other and I'm left wondering is it just coincidence that these defects were noted by different places after they had completed the work I had asked for, or are they all in colusion to stitch me up??????
