^^^ +1 All very good advice.

For all the members who asked to be kept informed

The dealer has advised me the power loss/xmas tree lights has been cured by replacing the battery - I remain sceptical as it has supposedly been sorted by a software update and 2 faulty brake switches in the past but will be pleasantly surprised if it is correct

I am now just waiting for the scratches/shoddy bodywork repair to be sorted and my car will then be returned

LRCS are still ignoring me

Sounds like you are slowly getting the MW.
Just remember, when your car is finally ready, do not take the car away, until you have taken it on a decent test drive with a LR person present with you.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Update

Collected my RRS this afternoon looking like new and dare I say it - running sweet

Power loss/warning messages blamed on brake switch again but appears to be sorted on third attempt after the master technician personally dealt with it - not the battery after all

Still no word from LRCS so although I have seen a 12 plate Westminster, 4k miles with a whopping £20k saving off new price I don't think I dare overstretch myself

In my experience when you have so many problems so early in a relationship it's best not to dwell on the past and move on ,and it's the same with cars ,best just to trade up to a better model

Thanks Guys

The Westminster is

But the mini aint selling and I haven't got the £20k to change so will have to slum it a bit longer

Hi MW,

Glad to hear it is finally sorted and you can go back to enjoying your car

Let us know how you get on and if you decide to change or not.

Looking on the (extreme) positive side think of all the future claims you are going to make with that extended warranty  2011 Autobiography Santorini Black

MW - Glad to hear that your car is back to where it started the morning before you put it into a Land Rover dealership for a service...........

The way you have been treated throughout is a disgrace, and some of the flippant comments from other RRS owners have beggared belief.

If I were you I wouldn't invest in a vehicle that isn't being built anymore especially when its value will plummet like a lump of lead when the new model is launched. Just my opinion though.

Whatever happened to the tart who came on here claiming to be something to do with LRCS???? I notice that we never heard from her again????

Your experience with the total lack of concern or back up from Land Rover should make them hang their heads in shame!

Jim, agree with your sentiment, but not sure that's the best way to post it to be honest.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
