I'd be asking them to come and take it back... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Sadly I've tried to get it back and no joy I took to a garage who said whole body has to come off and they wont do it so I've lost 8 years of saving up to get a range rover and nothing left and no one to help so I'm going to have to sell it as unroadworthy and get a normal cheap car

Thanks for the help tho was a brief glimpse of range rover folk on here but all were great

Did you buy this from a garage or car trader? If so, they can't just refuse to deal with it. They are legally responsible. If they won't play ball then go speak to Trading Standards for a start. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Sorry to hear the Situation you are in ...

But
was the Garage who sold you the car , Part of any Affiliation eg AA.
i would have thought it is up to them to get it to a garage to be fixed .
but i am sure there are members of this forum , who can advise a good Indie in wales
which could work in your Favour Rather than have a regular mechanic attempt a repair

where abouts in Wales are you ?
