Hi, I am a new member and am looking forward to getting my new car - TDV6 Vogue SE - on 13 Jul. Land at Heathrow from Singapore and go straight to the dealer to collect.
Is there anything specific worth checking during the handover that has come up as a 'common fault'?
The extras I have ordered are: Panoramic Roof; Rear Entertainment; Tinted Windows & Fog Lights.
Any advice would be welcomed as I drive over to mainland Europe the next day, so would like to make sure all is good.
Had a 08 SC Sport before, but never a FFRR.
Thanks for any advice in advance.

Congratulation!

You will love it.

I would really ask to talk to the service manager a week before and explain him your plans and where you are coming from, so he makes sure the vehicule is 100% perfect, may he has to drive it for several miles if need be.

That is about it, just make sure to drive on the left hand side of the road when you cross the Channel

All Europe dealers's staff have been formed to work on the L405 so anywahere in Europe you would have a problem would not be catastrophic.

Some early L405 suffer form suspension silentblocs noise, do not worry if your does it too, they will fix it at the next service. l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

Well, London to Singapore has been done in Series Is, so doing the trip in a Rangie should not be a problem !  l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

Sorry to disappoint but am not doing the trek back to SE Asia in the new car. We will however be doing a trip round Europe starting in early August from Hannover and going to Amsterdam - Bruges - Brussels - Reims - Paris - Dijon - Geneva - Turin - Milan - Venice - Trient - Innsbruck - Munich - Stuttgart - Frankfurt - Hannover.

Be staying over one night in most places, with two nights in Paris and Venice, so should be a decent way to test the new car!! The trip is a little over 2000 miles, but no overly-long individual legs.

I will log the trip and post pics, hopefully from interesting spots, when I return.
