2 weeks ago tried to book the car in for the brake hose recall with my nearest LR dealer (Bedford as Stratstone closed their Luton branch a short while ago).

Call back to Newport Pagnell. Yes, they are being taken over (no names but think of a WW2 Bomber Aircraft that dropped bouncing bombs)

My experience appears to be the complete opposite; My 5.0 SC was in Marshalls in Melton Mowbray (Leicestershire) having major surgery, under warranty, and I received the recall letter regarding the front brake hoses.

Just had my 2006 RR SC back after it went in for the brake hose recall & body kit exhaust trim finisher recall. No fuss. But the only thing I got back was an inspection list of other problems with the vehicle and cost of repair. No idea whether they did the other jobs or not. |

I got my recall notice this morning. As I am pulling the tin tent to the South coast on Saturday I was wanting to get it sorted out ASAP. I took the car to Farnells in Bradford and explained the situation to the young lad on Service reception. The car is booked in for inspection at 08:30 Friday morning and the parts are on order so if mine is affected they can do it there and then. As I am short of time, the health check and vallet won't be done. Expected time for completion is 90 minutes. Let's hope it all goes to plan. |

All going to plan so far. The car has been in the workshop for 30 minutes and I have just been informed that the pipes are being changed. Lovely people here- free coffee, soft drinks, ice cream, papers and tv. Oh and being surrounded by luvverly full fats. 😊 |

Just had mine done at Lancaster, Reading. They completed it in 1 1/2 hours while I drank their tea, ate most of their biscuits and did a bunch of e-mails using their wifi. No complaints. But I didn't think to ask for ice cream. |

The opposite for me also, mine fell outside the vin numbers on the PO54 recall by a few cars as far as i could tell. Phoned my local MD and was told it was covered, booked me in within 5 days and both hoses replaced. Interestingly was told that what they do ( Westovers Christchurch ) as par for course is replace regardless of inspection......because sir we do not take brakes to be a minor issue. Had the free health check and no faults, free wash and hoover I would recommend this dealer. |

Booked mine into Guy Salmon and the only let down was them not mentioning that if you had more than 6 points on your license in the last 4 years they can only put you in a pug 208 when i arrived i was getting an SSRR, when i left i was in a 208
