Yes I`m warming to the Dark Blue it goes well with the white interior. If anyone knows of any decent ones for sale let me know. Thanks

Since joining this forum a year ago and having followed RRUK's ramblings and the loving care he gives his car I really doubt you will find a better one for the money. Bet Mrs RRUK often feels she comes second!
You might even decide you like the colour if you see its condition and give it a road test?  Don't mistake my snoring for a lack of interest?

Just some normal snagging type issues that you get with any car from a dealer. I went through similar things with the td6 but it's all sorted and has been for a long time. When you're used to your car being 100% right it's hard to move to a car which Should be better but that you find needs Dealer attention for things like resetting the heater system so the temp is right and blowing equally, the HK system needing resetting. I'm just in a bad mood because today the dealership idiots trashed all 4 alloys while changing my tyres.

I know it will all get sorted and at some point it WILL feel better than the TD6, it's just annoying right now. Discovery 4 HSE

Oh, and the trim bit. The headlining has come adrift at the top tailgate and instead of fixing it today as they promised they just left it instead with lots of black oily finger prints. Total careless attitude that is unecessary in this age of customer service.

It's no wonder people a) spend ages looking for the right car in the first place but b) travel long distances to dealers who give great service. Discovery 4 HSE

Will be heading to the Lake District from Aberdeen to get my TDV8's first service soon......... Any questions? The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

It is frustrating isn't it RRUK. As you said, it will all get sorted out. How much is it to ask that a service tech stick a pair of gloves on when fiddling with the inside. They should know more than anyone how difficult it is to remove marks from the headliner. I hope you press the issue with them - especially your RIMS!!

Sodding dealers!

Sounds like I have a similar problem with my headlining around the tailgate. I'd be interested in the fix for this too, so I can try it myself.

never mind RRUK. just read your post in the my rover thread. What an ordeal. Keep us posted.
