thought I'd start my own drum roll for the delivery of my RRS - hopefully sometime next week

it was due in at the dealers yesterday, however it failed to materialise. Little dissappointed with the dealer to be honest as I had to call them to find out the status - clearly my car/business cant be much of a priority to them - they must have some more important work to do

Having said that I must say the gentleman who did call me back from the dealership (my contact is away for 2 days) was very professional and as helpful as he could be.

He told me that for some reason (apparently LandRover have given no explanation to my dealer to why) the car is delayed and the delivery date wont be confirmed now until Tuesday, however the car could also just turn up on Tuesday - basically my car is somewhere in the UK, however there is no way to find out - good work LR

My BMW goes one day next week and I have no idea when my RRS is arriving plus cant sort my finance or insurance as there is no VIN number or plate available yet.

So far so good - not!! Lets see what happens Monday

Thinking about it this happened to mine as well when it was on it's way back! It got in to the country late Friday night then there was no one in on Saturday to deliver it to us. Didn't get her till Wednesday in the end  RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

what I find very hard to believe is that the dealer cant find out where the car is - I ship a £10 item via couriers and can track it accurately - LR ship a £48k car and I have to wait until Tuesday to find out when it will be delivered - quite unbelievable really

I bet it's sitting in Gaydon or maybe just at the back of the dealership


Oh and my car was at the dealer's for two weeks till the guy came back from his holiday before the car was sent out!


This sound like the same thing with yours K! Guys off for the weekend and your RRS will be in when he comes back to work  RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

You should be able to get the VIN number etc... I bought a Focus RS when they first came out - I was able to track its progress from Germany to France and then to the UK.

Bit crap this, Kaine. Sorry to hear of the delay - seems you've been waiting for ages! When I was waiting for mine to arrive it "disappeared" sometime between leaving the factory and arriving at the dealers and my sales bod couldn't locate it either. He did wryly mention that they often go off the radar for a couple of days...

Sorry to hear this Kaine!! Bloody LR..
Oh well, waited this long, hopefully not long left.. just hope its not too much inconvenience without your Bmw while you wait.

Kaine, suggest you speak to VA to establish how he learnt about the end of production line re-work issues on his recent D3. Without wanting to sound too alarmist, an unexpected delay may mean your new build vehicle failed quality check and has had to be quarantined pending a re-work / fix. Not necessarily a big problem, but probably worth knowing what, if anything, needed reworking. I imagine there is a correlation between vehicles that needed end of line rework and vehicles that then suffer recurring niggles....

Looking on the bright side though - perhaps waiting will make the big event more pleasurable. Thats what my mum told my sisters about pre martital sex anyway (but they ignored her ). RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

update

it seems they delay is some rework to all RRS' due for delivery at the moment - a good thing really

also, dealer has helped me out with the BMW by offering me almost (£200 shy) the same figures to take it off my hands instead - this will make the changeover much smoother so think I'll take it

Kaine

The nearer it gets to delivery date, the more painful the waiting!

Hang in there Kaine, it'll be worth it!  Malaysia Boleh!
