got mine booked in at lancaster burnham for 18th September
have asked for new vogue tdv6 loaner for the day but no confirmation yet - will have to look elsewhere for a new car if they don't come up with the goods various other LR's this one is still the best

Got to rectify: Went to Perigueux, was right about:
"it is difficult, maybe better in the UK"
"it 'll take two weeks to get an apointment"
"no replacement car"

BUT:
Got an apointment for today
suprise; they gave me a 2005 freelander as replacement car
they replaced the brake hoses
checked the car completely and told me she was in perfect order
they had never seen one on LPG were amazed it worked
helped me out really fine, were very friendly and gave me coffee after someone ran into the freelander on my way back and crashed it totally. the idiot forgot that one coming from the right has priority, was not insured and had no mot on his car. The police took the guy with them, but told me he would be wandering off again in an hour. He has nothing so he will never be able to pay for the damage.
I was so shocked about this hefty crash, that I could not find my camera on my phone. So no pics; (sorry)


Nobody was hurt, but two cars were wrecked. I feel very sorry for this dealer Pericaud in Perigueux, but they told me not to worry and that insurance would take out all the pain.

So after a horrible day, I am glad that I crawled out between the airbags, the shattered glass without a scratch, got my Full Fat back in good nick and still am able to do this short write up.

Take care all of you out there
Robert

Mine was done today at Barbagallo's in Perth , all seems good and had it washed for a change , Had an Evoque 9 speed for the day , bad ride rough engine and easily confused gearbox . Not worth $74,000 in anybodys book . 2008 MY Supercharged
Rimini Red / Jet
four zone climate
remote park heater
and no ugly kid windows.
magnus satis quod turpis satis

Got mine done last week by Hunters in Chester. Took 3 hours and they did it whilst I pottered around the shops. Gave it a clean bill of health. They asked if I wanted it washed and valeted inside but I was in a hurry to get to Manchester for a meeting so declined their offer. Can't say I've noticed a difference.

That sounds horrible Robert! Im glad you are ok sir

Glad you're OK Robert.

Thanks for the flowers guys, (as we say in Holland) I'm OK, only still a little deaf . Two airbags exploding makes a lot of noice and the pressure in the car goes up with such speed that it breaks the rear window in 1000 pieces (as the people in the garage explained me.)
Never had a severe accident in the last 40 years... but there seems to be a first time for everything.

Mine is booked into Lookers Chelmsford in a couple of weeks. They informed me of a new recall , something to do with the exhaust and rear bodykit issue? CURRENT : FFRR 2012 4.4 TDV8
GONE : Discovery 4
GONE : BMW M5
GONE : L322 Range Rover
GONE : 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER
GONE : SAAB 9-3 VECTOR SPORT
GONE : BMW M3
GONE : SIERRA COSWORTH
GONE : LOTUS CORTINA
GONE : MK1 MEXICO
GONE : MK2 RS2000

It may sound weird, although I don't know anyone of you personnaly, it does feel good when some of you write caring messages.
Isn't this a great forum!

Thanks Mike

Cupar dealership are very welcoming. No sales pressure. Which is just as well as I would have spent a fortune. The fully loaded defender was tempting!!!

Collect and return.

Mine was booked in with Guy Salmon (Knutsford) for today. Got an apologetic phone call (around 18:30) last night from the workshop manager saying that they could not supply a courtesy car for today. Upshot is that I have had to rebook for 16th October. Interesting to see what they will provide me with! Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984
