Yeap, 50 & 80mm high legs

Hi all,

The standard kit has the taller feet, but they say you stuill need two spacers - untrue, you need three, even with the taller foot

Back to my original reason for warning people about the "Engine System Failure" alarm.

I have to report that after two weeks, I have not had any meaningful response from anyone at LRA (who are managing this matter) to even suggest what is potentially wrong with the vehicle.

I can only assume they do not know! So, if you have this problem, may I suggest you don't let up like I did - make sure you become the squeaky wheel which needs the oil!

I have a caravan in the middle of NSW, no way to tow it home, a vehicle which does not work which I have not seen for two weeks, no technical response or advice from LRA, even though I have asked several times and $100,000 out of pocket. Additionally, I have business commitments which require this vehicle or one like it and they will cost me a lot of money by the end of next week. At present, I have to say I am concerned this will get legal quickly, which I don't want, but it appears I am being forced in that direction!

Have you asked LRA for a loaner. The dealer should be able to provide one if not ask for one from the commercial loan vehicle fleet. They are able to do something but are they willing?

Sorry to hear about your problem... a nightmare situation.

When I purchased my D4 I was so concerned about reliability that I made the dealer commit in writing that they would provide a loan car at their expense for any time the D4 was in for anything but normal maintenance. I wanted to ensure that if I was suffering then so were they!

I love it...putting their money where their (inordinately large) mouths are.

Cheers

PS. Any car that costs upwards of 75k should have that guarantee as standard...

Phil, you have gone quiet
Are we to assume fault been fixed
or that LRA's normal arrogance has disheartened you
or legal action has started
