Will you still be selling your 130 ute or keeping it now????

I've got to say, Mark and the boys at Lennock land rover are bloody terrific, they have really pushed as hard as they can to get some answers..
I'll hold onto the ute till it hits 100,000km to see if it proves itself and the bugs are ironed out..if I have no dramas it will be kept in the fleet for good
I dare say if it was a toyota that they would have not covered anything. I cant make that statement with 100% accuracy but id be bloody surprised if they did..

Just saying
How many D4D or ZD30 owners have had their motors replaced in similar situations?,trying hard to find one. Pat
I would say you are at least 99% accurate.
Don't ask me how i know.....
I do run a fleet of Tojo vans bought new and serviced by the dealer……..;)
They just don't want to know you,even during warranty:(
I have found LR to be the complete opposite,even if you get the vehicle serviced by an Indie:)
I have owned a few new vehicle's in my time.......none of them had the service that LR has..
Ive had my fair share of issues and LR has sorted all out. Only issue i had was when they kept throwing rear diffs at my 110. I eventually had to put my foot down and ask for a reconditioned unit, no problems since.
I will buy another just becuase of the service!
I've just had a bit of bungling service from the stealer but they were nice and apologetic about it and small prob will be fixed I know. Younger bro says the same thing.... thought he'd try one of the indies recommended on here for a prob with his RRS Autobio.
Walked in the office to be confronted by a dirty looking yob who just said "waddya want?" Then when bro explained the idiot then said to the other scruffy oik "You fix it, you reckon you know every ****** thing" and walked off! So did younger bro.
Nice way to treat an obviously wealthy potential customer. :(
So back to the stealer. He knows he'll probably be ripped off if it's not a warranty prob, but the problem will be fixed and they'll be nice about it with a clean office and staffed with people with MANNERS! :D
Our boy on the other hand had probs with his new 200 series thing and getting Tojo to do anything took action through Consumer Affairs and about 3 years.
Eventually they modified the engine and it now longer uses 3 ltrs of oil to get to Exmouth towing a large boat and they replaced the "hi-tech" transmission with one that actually worked.
Pity they took 3 months to do it but they did loan him a Pajero while they fiddled with it.
I was loudly shouted down and called a troll for daring to post that on another forum.:D

My 110 now has 94,747 in just under three years. no bangs yet. although I do think I'm getting a bit of a funny driveline noise
Finally got my 130 back on the road with the new motor, the guys at Lennock land rover have been great..hopefully now with new axles, transfer case, chassis and now a brand new motor, I'm looking forward to driving the bloody thing and it earning it's keep, interestingly the first fill I got 570km till the light came on, has always been at about 510-530km with the old motor, so maybe the injectors were on the way out for a while.
That's a great outcome, always a worry until the vehicle is back in your possession though. If it makes you, (or anyone), feel better one of my customers has been without his LC200 for 7 weeks now, and Toyota want it for another 4 weeks till parts arrive.... for a wheel bearing problem. All under warranty, no loan car.
Hope the car does you right now.
Cheers,
Tim
