First question - What make of car is a defender

Explain land rover and get put through to the land rover specialist

Ask for the part (with #)

No don't have one - never sold one -"I suggest you try XYZ as they are a defender specialist"

No wonder land rover don't sell too many vehicle in Aus - even their dealers aren't interested.

Correct - they need to start getting of there behinds.

• When did you last see a land rover dealership locally - our closest one is 300km.....

• When did you last see land rovers being advertised on TV?

• When you last rang a dealer did they return you call as they stated.......

My opinions only.....................

PS I was impressed with the display Land Rover had at Cooma - but I think this was due to some peer group pressure......

and if they've never sold a part,,, why stock it?

Must be an interstate thing - same as the murry as the water it;s just a trickle when it reaches us.......just the back water and waste.....

Have dealt with some dealers in country Victoria recently, they ordered me the wrong part. I had driven about 300 kays to pick it up as I was in the bush and when I got there and pointed out that it was the wriong bit, they simply said 'oh well, not much we can do now until Monday'. Not even an apology really, then just went on and served someone else.

Anyway, i know deal only with Britcar in West Melbourne. The bloke there is bloody fantastic, very helpful, will match any price most of the time (reasonably priced anyway) and is happy to give advice and so forth.

Sometimes Landrover are there own worst enemy (still love my Disco though)

hucksta

They dont all seem bad.. I just spoke to the parts department at Bruce Lynton on the Gold Coast re an innjector harness for a TD5, and the guy there knew the part number off the top of his head (what does that say!) and the vin change for the gasket after about 2 seconds....

Must admit I cant really fault them from my experiences.

Sure some of them must have staff that are interested!
