Hi,

As per the title... Trying to understand whether or not my experience has been trumped by anyone and any reasons for unreasonably long stays in repair garages.

I'm about to enter week 7!

@Jonno, internal communication gaps? QA issues?

Not a ff but my Mercedes CL once spent 9 months in the garage waiting for a rear wing which had corroded to be replaced under warranty.

That was annoying, but at least they honoured their corrosion issues, unlike LandRover.

Longest with the ff was just over a week, mainly as a replacement part wasn't available and was then sent to the wrong address...
