Yes, next door I think, just down from IKEA

Does IKEA have Defenders CKD?

Well another installment...

I have been driving Bear and finally reached 52K - time for
service etc (this milage is due to the date the heart transplant was
done on Bear).

I have noticed that the rear chassis rail is showing surface rust! Reported that and it will be assessed and put in for warranty (this may be done before I get there but if LR wants photos etc it'll be pushed on the day of service.)

The stereo has done the 'silent radio" thing again, I mentioned it and they will swap it out.

Bear has been a little flactuant on starting recently blowing a small amount of white or grey smoke.. not always but often enough it has me worried.. they'll have a look at that as well.

So I'm in for service on the 4th, with a generous 10am drop off (allowing me to leave home at a reasonable time to get there). Already spoken to Louis (the "Super Service" manager..) and he is trying to coordinate everything, so fingers crossed all will go well.....

('spose I need to wash him now.... properly not the quick weekly wash he usually gets!)

I have a Defender called Ikea, it came flat packed.

It really is bad to hear about this stuff. Good customer service doesnt cost the dealer more and word of mouth is free advertising. Im glad things turned around Digger, especially given the distance you have to travel.

G'Day Digger.
Mate, in this thread you mentioned somewhere that Bear's engine was "replaced", but I can't see any reference to how why or wherefore etc,....so could you elaborate a bit on what happened to the engine & how it was rectified?

That's right, seen it. Believe it opening early in the new year. Also to have Audi.
