With collection day fast approaching, i just wondered if their's any specifics i should be mindful of checking when collecting my new car?

Things such as PDI stamped in the service book, relevant books/manuals in the car & any cables/adapters that should be in the car for the Infotainment & any subscriptions the Dealer needs to activate.

Really what i'm asking is should i be checking for anything that's say more specific to the FFRR or things that LR dealers have a tendency to forget at handover?

I'm not one for being shown how everything works so will do that at my own leisure & revert to the manual if i really can't work it out for myself.

Three little things to be aware of Paul that in our experience can be overlooked.

1 : all latest software updates are applied

2: correct amount, or indeed any, adblue has been added.

3: soft close function is enabled on drivers door, this is disconnected in transit and sometimes forgotten

If relevant -
Spare wheel lift device
First Aid kit
Any other options specified are there

Thanks.

As regards Spare Wheel lift device, i didn't spec the full sized spare wheel so would the device still be present?

Decided to take Complete Wheelcare cover instead.

I think it only comes with 22's - though not really sure why as the weight difference can't be that much.... but I guess with a space saver it won't be there

Hi
I cannot understand why you did not go for the full spare wheel. The cost of £250 is great for a new tyre and a full sized alloy.
I also had the wheel cover with mine and I thought it only covered the first two years even though the warranty covers three. Only used it once and that was in the first month when I planted a curb

Sorry if I am wrong???

I'm amazed a full size spare isn't standard on a car like this. Good value, try buying a new alloy and tyre for that price.

Wow you lot have seriously different priorities.

1. Does the totty on reception have a short enough skirt on.
2. get car letters not necessarily in the right order

Check the tyre pressures too. Mine were way too high, I assume for when it was on the transporter.

Check you have the correct engine!!

Can't remember who it was on the Forum but they were given the wrong spec engine, V6 or V8 (can't remember)!!!

Sound like a joke - but woth checking

Wrong Engine?? Now that would be quite a feat for any dealer/mfctr.

Saying that, i've chosen the TDV6 so if they've slapped a SDV8 in by accident then i'm quids in:)

When I arrived to collect mine, the invoice paperwork said TDV6 - but turned out to be a clerical error - I did go out and open the bonnet to check though

There was someone who ordered adaptive headlights - and the car was delivered without - turned out they can't be retro fitted, so he kept the car until they built the right one and he took delivery of that so read this be ready

These dealers do appear unable to instil confidence with actions like that.

On the matter of the Adaptive headlights which i've spec'd, is their an obvious way to tell they're on the car? It might sound a stupid question but i'm collecting the car in daylight & will be on my own. Do the Adaptive headlights look different visually or the DRL's any different?
