petera's car was very noisy compared to 'regular' D4's. Hopefully it's a one off as I haven't heard of a problem like it on PD before.

Thanks mate, but please keep us posted.

I hope it's nothing and you will....no exaggeration at all…..enjoy the D4.....It’s a phenomenal piece of kit! Speaking from one year down the track.

This has to go in the jokes or funny pics thread!!

Sent from my backyard TeePee using smoke signals.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I took delivery and so for so good.
Beautiful to drive and returning about 9.8 l/100k.
Cheers,
Peter

Is this a common problem and should i consider cancelling the order?

I know you have now taken delivery, but to me it sounds like the dealer has done a proper pre delivery inspection and done the right thing by fixing an issue they found.

I liken it to a reno we did on our house a few years back. A stair case was put in and then the builder managing the project inspected the job. The posts were not to spec - 5mm to far apart. I would never have known so he could have left it. But the builder insisted that a new stair case be installed because it wasn't right.

It's all about good service which we often complain there is a lack off.

I agree with you.
However i took it back on Thursday to get a few things sorted;
1. parking sensors not working (they have to source a module form the UK to fix it)
2. none of the rubber mats had been correctly fastened to the floor (they hadn't fitted the plastic locking lugs . (again they need to source these from the UK !!!)
left hand side wheel arch trim was uneven; they fixed this on the day:)
3. the dealer didn't put through the paper work on the trade in lease and as a result they continued to take leasing payments out of my account. They fixed it eventually, however it has taken 4 weeks.

For the amount of money they are asking for these cars, little things like this should be sorted prior to delivery.
Cheers,
Peter

There are some in the D3/D4/RRS section somewhere - posted about 5 weeks ago by a poster from the UK.

Here is one that I saved.
