Got it now, thanks Peachy.

May I ask what you mean by only viewable on newer vehicles? Is that fact that I cant see anything on a 61 plate car nothing to be concerned about?

Hope this helps - I live 5 mins from the dealer - when searching for my RRS - there efforts was Censored but that's my opinion Whistle

Spoke to the dealer today, my new RRS has got a full service history, its been serviced twice at the supplying dealer (Stratstone Solihull) and is about to be serviced and MOT'd before I collect next week. Dealer has also said that the service department will address the outstanding recall campaigns. Very Happy I have even now persuaded them to sort me out with new Reg plates for when my private plate is ready to go on...

Its also got the premium carpet mats so I just need to buy a dog guard and a rubber boot mat and the jobs a good'un...
Dan at Duckworths has given me a great price on both if I cant find second hand ones.

Does anyone know if LR do a boot mat with a fold out bumper protector? Range Rover - 4.4SDV8 Autobiography - Corris and Black

Just off to Solihull Land Rover today to check out the RRS before I pick it up next week.mi was uncomfortable buying 'blind'. So, today gives me the opportunity to give it a once and and drive it and to pick up any issues that I would want resolving before next Friday.

Is there anything in particular I should look out for? Other than the usual tyres, service history, paintwork, etc. is it worth asking for a complimentary Land Rover Experience day, noting that there is one at Solihull, I guess that is where the factory is. Range Rover - 4.4SDV8 Autobiography - Corris and Black

If you need a boot liner and dog guard google 'boot buddy' and have a look. I fitted one in my RRS and the carpeting underneath is still like new.



And in the picture is my dog, called, you guessed it, Buddy. 2017 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography Santorini Black

Looking at my own RRSC 2011 I cannot recognize your center console. What's the chrome plated part on the the right? Mine has a little storage compartment right there. RRS SC 2011 for fun

^^^^^ That is where the gear knob is housed, it pops up out of the console when the engine is started. S/C models have a lever. We also have a storage compartment. Covered by a roller shutter door type cover. Yours is left hand drive i'm gussing, so will be on the opposite side to ours here in the UK. Wink

No RRS tomorrow. It's not ready, being told the two factory recalls are taking more time than they invisaged. All very frustrating, so I can't collect it until Saturday week - the next day I am availabLe to travel down to Birmingham. Range Rover - 4.4SDV8 Autobiography - Corris and Black

Hmmmm

Hope that's not a sign of the dealership's after sales service. IMO very poor show, 👎👎👎 recalls take a few hours to do not a few days

And how long have they had to sort them Rolling Eyes

Plenty of time to sort it all out. It needed a bonnet respray this week, couple of new tyres, 1st MOT, recalls sorting and a few other minor things I picked up. To be fair, I don't mind waiting so long as the car is totally spot on when I pick it up.

After sales will have to be lead by my local dealer, I am not trapsing down to Birmingham for them to sort it out if it goes wrong. Range Rover - 4.4SDV8 Autobiography - Corris and Black

I finally pick it up tomorrow morning! Leaving home at 7AM to get down to the dealers for about 9AM. Made a list of all the things I need to check before I drive away, I am really hoping that they have prepped the car to a high standard and to my satisfaction.

The salesman told me that they wouldn't replace all of the scratched door scuff plates, as they were too expensive for the complete set, so he has swapped some better ones from a newer RRS they have for sale! Range Rover - 4.4SDV8 Autobiography - Corris and Black
