Mike, i think to be honest they would rather have the car back in and sell it again! But next time for more money!They sold it too cheap was there response last time!

Sorry to hear about this Craig! I had a similar experience with BMW...an Approved Used X5...brakes in a dreadful state and an air filter blocked with dust/flies, both of which passed the ‘thorough, comprehensive approval process’

Thankfully you’ll soon get it to the standard you want and I hope you enjoy it

Photos expected soon....

Thank you gents... The point of this thread is to pre warn members as to how some dealers conduct themselves... Im not after retribution or causing chaos/trouble for anyone (though thanks for the offer Scott)

Im very happy with the car and think i have purchased it for a song! But the deal could have been handled better by the sales & service staff and if promises were kept, then this thread would be somewhat more positive!

Again, thank you to all for reading/commenting

Sorry to hear of this.

You may find that a lot of this was identified to the sales department who declined the work to be completed before sale...

cheers Alex

A small update. My battery failed and LR Assist was called. He found an aftermarket Start Stop battery was the cause! Another thing the LR used car check should have flagged up! Amusing as the car wouldn't start before the test-drive and the salesman told me on handover that the battery had been thoroughly checked and fully charged and was in great health

Surprisingly Stafford LR agreed to pay for a new one! Obviously i have to fit it!
