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....

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 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... |

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 (you hope ) |

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?
