Sounds odd, but not completely implausible. I would have thought if you buy a new RR though you get LR Assistance don't you? These tend to be silver vans I think from memory?

Most manufacturers' roadside assistance vehicles are simply marked "Customer Assistance", without mention of the manufacturer. |

Aren't most AA drivers owner drivers? In which case they would want their vans liveried up surely for the down time when they stand selling membership? Of which I'm sure they get some kind of bonus otherwise you just wouldn't would you. 2010 Disco XS TDV6, 2009 Freelander 2 GS

I can confirm that we have a 'continuing' dodgy FFRR TDV8 MY10 that still has battery going flat issues. LR Assist often comes in the form of a yellow AA van (you only tend to get the Discovery Vehicles in LR livery when they are not too busy).

I had a letter a little while back that said that the AA were taking over the duties of LR Assist.

Easy way to avoid issues MICK, just don't buy any Land Rover product for six months to a year when they do major changes. Gives them a chance to annoy the customers who can't wait on a new model and correct the faults on the production line for those not in a rush. Using this logic I've have three brand new Land Rover products and each has been trouble free... |

That's sensible advice on any car I think. Even better is to wait 3 years until the worst of the depreciation is paid for and all the bugs are out. I waited 7 years until it started going wrong. Guess the sweet spot is 3-5 years. |
