    NEW OWNER DRIVE EXPERIENCE DISCONTINUED

    Just a general FYI for those waiting to get on to a LR Experience Day (off-road course & training etc).

    I couldn't book mine after purchasing my D5 due to it being in hibernation in COVID times. Have been checking it periodically and there was scant information available however is now officially canned with vague idea of something coming, sometime, to replace it.

    Received following email just before 5pm Fri 11/11/22.

    [TD]NEW OWNER DRIVE EXPERIENCE DISCONTINUED


    Dear Valued Customer,

    We have made the decision to discontinue the complimentary Land Rover off-road drive program. Unfortunately, this means your previous booking will not go ahead and voucher codes are no longer valid.

    Please be aware that this is not the end of Land Rover Experience events, we are in the process of reshaping our programs to be relaunched at a later date. Once these new Experiences begin, you will be the first invited to the new program and your local Retailer will contact you about any upcoming events.

    Sincerely,
    Land Rover Australia [/TD]

    Ah, the personal touch.

    Anything that commences with "Dear Valued Customer" actually means

    "to person we are happy to have taken money from and you can now **** off"
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    WithOoptus, Medibank and others who did not admit to losing your Drivers license, bank, name..... if Landrover kindly forgets us I think we should consider it a useful Security Hack

    I think it's more to do with moving away from producing off road vehicles.

    They have been gradually moving away from them for decades,and have deserted the market they pioneered.

    Anyway,good luck to them.

    No amount of complaining will change their mind,listening to customers is something they have never done.

    The market for genuine off road and outback touring vehicles has gradually been filled by other brands.

    When I purchased my D1 they had the “experience”. Within a year or so it was gone.

    Came back again around the time I purchased the D4.

    It comes and goes.
