Today I feel like Chris Tarrant...

for toady I will be ringing LR Customer Services (not a good name) and offering them;

"phone a friend"
"50-50"
"ask the customer"

as to "guess where my RRS is?"

answer: In the f Censored workshop again Big Cry Big Cry The knocking is back and to say that it sounds like the front end is going to rip off is an understatement!! On top of that is the juddering wippers, speaker vibration, random low coolant messages and the terrible tyre wear on the outer edge of all 4 wheels (those crappy soft ones).... cant wait to hear the excuse for the tyres? "wear and tear is not the responsiblilty of Land Rover Mr Wokka, but thankyou for contacting LRCS and have a nice day"

Merc aren't the bulletproof brand they once used to be.... I bet you'll find as many dissatisfied Merc customers as any other brand. Seems customer service from any marque is becoming a bit of a lost art... Confused Actually, LRCS aren't often too bad - it's the dealer network that seems to fall on it's face.

I find Merc/LR to be as equally as bad on the dealer front normall on after sales/service..
Audi and Bmw are a lot better.. Lately Audi really suck up, which is great!!

my car is back and Webbers have done a fantastic job (as usual) the knocking is silent Bow down Bow down but for how long?

problems with the DR bushes etc - again! Also the tyre wear is down to my hard driving, this is a sport? But in my favour the wear is both front wheels and I dont go the wrong way at roundabouts Twisted Evil

Anyway I had sent up a fax to Phil Popham (MD LR) and he has got his senior bods looking into it as the car is averaging 8 days every month in the workshop and infact I am being told to formally reject it!!

But I will let Landrover do the required investigstion into the soft wheels, tyre wear etc... in the meantime I will drive to Cornwall for the weekend and wait for the knocking to return!

But alas, it will be back in the workshop next week for a faulty sensor on the coolant bottle (awaiting part).

Still love the car though Thumbs Up GONE** RRS 3.0SC Silver fully loaded Smile - 2020 110 loving it

I was always pretty pleased with Webbers - they did Mrs S' FL1 until I recently found Guava.

Where in Cornwall are you off to Wokka? Not following the display team to Dunsfold this weekend then? Very Happy

Hi all,

hope you had a good weekend in the nice British sun for a change..... After my 700mile round trip to Cornwall with Mrs Wokka it looks like the knocking is starting to return, this is on top of the other issues!!

BIG Question Whistle

Time to reject the car? Thoughts? GONE** RRS 3.0SC Silver fully loaded Smile - 2020 110 loving it

I'd be starting to think about rejection to be honest.... sending Popham an email is all well and good, but why should it take a complaint to the MD to get anything sorted. This is the major problem. If you rejected, would you go the refund route and get a replacement TDV8?

Rejection is the thing to do. They will give you the BS about it being a characteristic of the car and when they do please ask them where that is listed on the sales blurb. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
