Nope - brand new £2500000 piece of kit and took up to 3 hours to start in the mornings...........UK maintenance director arrives and announces " we had another one do this, but it fixed itself!" Exits with my foot up his backside

4 months and 3 days then a new engine! Must say though that having that done and having the torque converter done too (plus everything else from struts to wheels) what a brilliant car this thing is...A good LPG system and it eats the miles up every day...

Save thousands : keep the Rangie and simply get yourself an IID tool to recalibrate your "Low"/"Access" position.

A small step kept in the boot or a short holiday to A Swiss clinic!!! There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t

Wood chip...if you lower the access height with the IID Tool, the standard and off road heights will also be reduced by the same amount.

Well, our current record (latest ordeal) ended last week at being well into the 7th week. As usual - hopefully - I'll keep it balanced and say that for all it was another disappointing and frustrating experience that has genuinely dented confidence (i.e what next?), there was/is at least one senior manager who never fails to restore my faith with his good intentions and personal professionalism. Nobodies fool and a gentleman, really.

About 10 weeks for me! First day of ownership ignition key wouldn't turn on my 2005 HSE. Mechanic with Rovacom spent 4 hours pulling console and steering column apart to disengage interlocks so it could be transported to his workshops. Ignition barrel is vin specific and Land Rover Uk were out of stock. Eventually barrel was repaired and recoded by a locksmith in Sydney! I'm in Perth. At least I wasn't stranded in the desert! I now have a spare barrel and my own Hawkeye which has had plenty of use! |
