Door and rear panel out of alignment

This is on my LWB. The drivers rear door and rear panel don't match up. Door opens ok, no draughts or water leaks, and I don't want them to mess around with the rear panel. Is it worth rejecting its bad for 120k car

In my limited opinion......It is bad, yes. But keep an open mind and ask them to put it right. If it isn't corrected ask them to do it again. If that doesn't work then reject it....

Door adjustment should be simple enough, I'm sure you will be happy once they've done it. Thumbs Up 2006 4.2 SC

Yea I can see what you say. But on a 10 day old car and the suspension knocking. Quality control come to mind.

Well the knocking suspension is clearly an issue with the new product. I'm not sure whether LR acknowledge that yet but having worked for an OEM myself a fix for future cars and a mod for the existing will be along at some point. There is always something with any new product. L322 and front diff is a case in point but it was fixed and once done, it's sorted.

I would write to the dealer, copy LR customer services. Keep copies of everything, include in your complaint what you want done about it (I can remember getting lots of complaint letters and it was actually much simpler in the very rare occasions a customer said what they wanted done to put the matter right!).

I'm sure the car will soon be sorted. The door is simple enough to fix and the suspension will have a mod at some point, you may just have to wait a bit.

But if not, you will have a good audit trail and all the grounds to reject the car. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

I can only presume something must be loose on the door hinges and the door has moved... Otherwise from looking at the pictures you have posted the alignment issues should have been raised long before you have spotted it... This could be a good reason to have the issue looked at more urgently sir... Neutral

Can't believe that could have left the factory like that.

It was raised when I picked it up, well when they delivered it to me, but because I use the car for my chauffeuring buisness I had to take in right away It is going in on Tuesday and I have told customer services. Let's wait and see

That's appalling. I'd reject without hesitation, the quality assurance dept for land rover must be full of blind workers. That's truly awful.

Yes it doesn't look right and no it definitely isn't acceptable, but come on get real it's only a door out of alignment and can be adjusted by just slackening the hinge bolts off and realigning - rejecting it for something so minor I doubt will wash with LR or even in Court, any Barrister would just argue that they should be given reasonable opportunity to correct it. It's not as if the engine had blown or the chassis was twisted Thumbs Up (you hope Wink )

HI I just took a look at my rear door it too is slightly out of alignment how ever if one was to realign the door then it would not line up in the upper part of the wheel arch area. there may be a little bit of adjustment possible. However I don,t think your door will be able to be realigned with that much of a miss match you may need a new door. It seems JLR might have a problem with door pressings being made.

Maybe it's a 14.5 feature - Asymmetrical door trim as part of the Not Quite Right package?

I have the same thing on the LHS passenger door trim on my MY14.5 SWB. The passenger door is "normal" but the trim on the LHS is clearly higher and looks like the first picture in this thread.

What's going on, on the LHS that's different from the RHS?
