Hows about this for service

[dullbird]

I take my 56grand defender backwards and forwards to the dealership for warranty work and problems they cant fix.......and have discussions on why we have to pay for courtesy cars...

I take my 8grand discovery to my own landrover specialist and get given this without even asking.

That wouldn't be the friendly people at Masterservice who lent you that Rangie?
If so you may have seen my silver range rover there getting a new fuel wiring harness after i drowned it. Woops.

I can vouch for there good service, have really helped me out with my car.

[dullbird]

[Rangier Rover]

Looks like a good old beater they use as a loan car and it doesn't have a rhino hump in the roof:p Hope it doesn't belong to another customer:o....They know you will come back next time unlike the dealer once your Landy is out of warranty;)

When Leyland Truck and Bus at Rocklea was the Brisbane retail outlet for LR & RR we used to get RR owners bring their car in for service and ask for a loan car. All we could offer them was the workshop Austin 1800 ute, complete with greasy seats and steering wheel. RR's were the then status symbol of the medical profession, probably used to visit their tax vineyards and stud farms. Never had one take up the offer of the 1800.

Truckies never asked for a loaner whilst the rig was in for service. A lift to either of the Rocklea pubs was usually appreciated.

If they can't fix it - why not try taking the 56 grand Defender to the Land Rover Specialist? :confused:

I know it's under warranty - I know that means coughing up coin - but if they can't fix it - they can't fix it. I had the same problem - it required a LR specialist to tell the dealer what to do.

no all the time we take it else where and pay out of our own pocket landrover are not going to give a **** about us the car or anyone else with the same problem as they will learn that the longer they leave it the more people get ****ed off and go else where..less time, money ad effort on there part

I'm sorry scallops but paying for a car out of your own pocket is not the answer. and something I'm not going to even entertain....We stretched our selves buying this car so we wouldn't have any big layouts I will be damned if I'm going to pay for anything

OK, fair enough - your call. But to be clear - I didn't pay my specialist to actually fix my issue - just to diagnose it. I didn't see I had much choice - the dealer denied there was a problem until I did this.

I hear what you're saying DB

Its sometimes a matter of principle, the dealer sold you the 'Fender, they are the Authorised Service Centre for LRA so the onus should be on them to rectify the teething problems.

I also hear what Scallops is saying, in that if you were dependant on the vehicle for reliable, fault free use, getting to the root cause of the fault is probably the more important issue. In this case pehaps a visit to a third party specialist (and dropping some moolah) would be warranted.

If you have another vehicle (I think Lou has a few) then persevering with the dealer, on principle, might be the best option.

I hope it all gets resolved fairly soon though guys, 'cause it can certainly wear down your appreciation of the brand if it goes on and on.

Speaking of on and on, I've said enough

Cheers

good onya that is the right attitude IMHO Land Rover have had 56000K of your hard earned, as a cost of the "new product" that should account for downtime whilst in warranty fixing issues on a product released before it had all its hiccups sorted,i think it's about time all you 'new' vehicle owners with issues sort out a letter of issues and send a letter of complaint to the MD of landy in the U.K. i am gutted for you guys you should CC it to the director of design as well i have the address for you when you decide to rise up !!!
