Give them a call, call the dealer first when you called a current affair and have an interview with them.
The dealer may not want the exposure and give money back. Long before any lawyers get appointed.


The media is a very important tool of trade and can do immense harm.

Give it a go, call all the media channels, they love a feel good story.

Always have always will. Ratings.

Hope all goes well for you.

????;)

yeah but still make the calls see where it leads you boht have good points if u don't ask the question u don't know but could be a long process then again so could this whole thing thanks

went away to work for 5 month

That line there means you will lose any battle. If he has had it 5 months then sorry to it will be a case of bad luck. Talk to a lawyer and see what they think.

hopefully not but every bit of peoples feedback is helpfull thanks

Not sure about the shonky repairs (no, not you Andrew), but don't Land Rover have a 6 year corrosion warranty?

All ways take the vehicle to a independent assessor when buying any thing stick it up on the hoist and have a good look at it .If they wont let you take it to some one else for assessment move on .One of the last cars I test drove hadn't even been looked at hand brake wouldn't hold left stuck in park very red faced when they went to move it then I rattled of all its faults .
A friend of the wife's had the same thing happen to her son ,full refund was given. As it turned out the dealer wasn't a MTAQ dealer and didn't want the hassles . best of luck as age is now on the dealers side.
It ****es me of that some low life repaired this vehicle this way this is why people go to tech and learn to repair cars the right way . Go dept transport
first then legal then dealer. and do all correspondence to all parties in writing Best of luck shoddy work like this should be traced back to who done it .

Yes!

Several years ago ACA did one on a Adelaide guy with a dodgy Fairlaine.

He bought it new, and had spent 10 out of 12 months at the stealers...

He was at the end of his rope..

ACA stepped in, then Holden got on the 'good PR' bandwagon and gave him a Statesman and took the "Lemon" Ford away.

cheers for that thanks every one again

And if all the aforementioned fails, Then I know where there is a good rust free 2003 chassis that may be available in the near future.

Roger

cheers where would it be located
