It's little wonder the uk are a joke around the world. We have a prestige sought after brand and we can't even build them properly.

New models always have to get the bugs out. I'd not be expecting perfection, but I would be expecting prompt, courteous service and problems solved the first time. Remember, 'ordinary' cars don't have 4/5ths the tech of a FFRR. |

Apart from air suspension and anti roll bars I am not sure what "tech" a FFRR has got that any BMW that costs a third of the price hasn't. I consider JLR to be generally rather behind in that regard. |

How bizarre. They sorted the anti roll bar knock out, but mine too is going in to the dealers on thu for a vibration/resonance at around 1400 under load. We'll see what happens. It's prob the first they've ever seen, again. |

I went 'mental' having had around 24 serious faults with my TDV6 L405 and I have now got a replacement (upgrade) at a very generous discount.

I can't speak to the UK situation, but many US states have lemon laws. I've come across cars for sale on the internet with a 'branded' title declaring that they were lemons that had been bought back from the original customer. Obviously, they sell at a discount, but that history follows the car. |

My 2013 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 SDV8 is in the dealer at the moment due to the knocking front suspension issue. Replacement of both front lower arms and the ARB has been carried out. Not sure if this is common knowledge but the service manager says they have actually paused production for a brief period as they are changing the shock absorbers and he expects there could be a recall at some stage. Be interesting to see if there is any truth in that. |
