I might well follow that advice ;) Didn’t occur to me before!

Aaah. Thank you - all clear now. They were big ‘uns then ;)

What do you reckon a local approved guy would charge?

Ha!

Oh yeah! Good point

Now that’s interesting.. makes you wonder if you should park in low mode?

By the way, the dealership in question is Kentdale’s in Kendal. I was treated pretty well; thumbs up.

Well, it was as expected really .. some problems, but could be worse.. Rear suspension fluid leak.. they said £1k minimum.. Brake line corrosion.. same £ again. I’ll be contacting a local independent garage tomorrow; hopefully get a decent quote. I’ll also try Evans Halshaw on the 3-month...

I only really noticed when I was leaving. It’s very frosty (no snow) here; wondered if that was the reason?

Had my RRS’s 165 inspection today at a dealership. Most of the new vehicles (mostly Disco Sports) were parked in the low setting. Any reason for that? (Go easy on me, gold_rover!!)

Cheers, I certainly will. I’ve already watched a couple of mind-bogglers - incredible vehicles! Until I saw those, I don’t think I really understood what off-roading was about.. I now feel obligated to challenge this machine for all it’s worth!

Thanks for the (mostly) great feedback everyone! The news is.. I collected it (the trim was repaired), I drove it home for 80 miles... and it was terrific. What a machine. All I had hoped for.. (Now I’ve just got to figure out those traction settings, but I’m hoping you lot’ll help me )...

Good advice - thanks all

Yeah, you’re right. Like so many others, I’ve had some awful experiences with dealer aftersales so I think half of my feeling of dread comes from that. It will be fine, of course it will. I’m being silly! The car’s got a full LR service history It’ll be perfect I’m sure. I’ll report back this...

Oh flippin’ eck, what have I done!!?? Just traded in my 2014 5-series for a 2012 RRS SDV6 HSE. Picking it up this afternoon. Already the emotional roller-coaster has begun!! Is this a terrible mistake? I’ve always wanted one but the horror stories are really worrying me. I’m refusing the Evans...

Thanks for the welcome! I’ll be off to the tech section pretty soon methinks..

Howdo, Just joined Landyzone after buying a 2012 RRS.. my first LR.. Haven’t picked it up yet but I’m at once excited and terrified! Full LR history (50k miles), SDV6 HSE.. I’ve already set aside a dedicated, empty credit card :) (Won’t be empty for long by the sounds of it!) Looking forward to...
