If you bought from a main dealer, then the warranty is transferable - you can take it to any other dealer and have them take a look - you don't need to keep going back to where you bought it from if you feel you're not getting good service from them.

It's in tomorrow for a couple of days they say, and I'm driving the demo, will see if they have a used one as well so I can compare.

Selling it is a difficult option at the moment, a really sensitive subject with my missus, but if these issues aren't sorted then I will be having that discussion with her again.

I feel like my only comments on the forum are complaints, which is a shame.

Got a 2015 SDV8 AB, completely different drive, its quiet, refined, feels much tighter and focused, more car like all round, cant believe the difference, now comes the hard part, convincing the dealer that mine doesn't drive like that because they seem adamant that it drives fine.

They gave me a V6 fist until I pointed out that mine was a V8 with the Adaptive Suspension so the comparison would be inaccurate, they just looked confused.

I know I'm in for a long hard battle going forward.

Diagnosis 1, excessive play in the driveshaft so its getting a replacement tomorrow, that's probably what my missus could feel under her feet, so 1 job sorted (am I on a roll here )

The SA suggested the car will feel better afterwards but I cant see how a driveshaft replacement can improve the very soft damping that the 15 plate does not have.

A good start

At least you have a good point of reference now
