    The interior light would come on at random and the radio would change stations. Fixing the ABS fault fixed those problems as well!

    Thanks for the PM Drivesafe.

    I'll have a look around http://rangerovers.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=2
    like you suggested.

    There must be something about these cars if you'd still buy another one even after all the issues you had with it.

    Hi spudboy, I think, in my case, the way both LRA and my dealer, Bruce Lynton’s, have handled the problems is probably the main reasons I would not hesitate to buy a new one ( if pennies permit, I would love to get a TDV8 RR when they arrive late next year )

    I have had absolutely no cause for complaints of any kind with both the response from LR regarding replacing parts under warranty or the fantastic service from Bruce Lynton’s.

    I bought a new D2 from Austral in Brisbane, and altho LRA did everything in their power to get problems solved with the D2, Austral was of the opinion “ They had my money, why both doing anything else “ and they NEVER did.

    Spudboy, if you are looking at a 2003 RR, check to see if it has the extended warranty.

    Cheers

    Wow, that's one hell of a bad experience in anybody's mind. I'm kinda surprised that he didn't hire a lawyer to make them fix it!!

    Very interesting reading. If one can assume that all that was written there is factual (the story seems entirely plausible ) then thank God we are not in France!

    I would be absolutely horrified to be assocciated in any way shape or form with any car manufacturer that would let their relationship with a customer get so bad.

    The only good point to the whole saga is that he would very happily be driving a new TDV8 Rangie. Proof that the vehicle is really that good (when it is working 100%).

    After reading that French saga, I think I'll wait for a few months and see how the new Defender scrubs up.

    I saw in a specification sheet that you will be able to get Factory Leather seats (no I'm not kidding - see here: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread.php't=31853) so who knows what other luxuries might turn up.

    Miles away from a Range Rover I know, but it might be better to have a basic brand new car, than a complicated 4 year old car. If the Defender is way too basic then maybe a newish D3 diesel.

    Thanks for all the feedback.
