Update. Spoke to LR customer services and they have advised that there is nothing they can do and that I need to take this up with the retailer.

To be honest this is what I expected but it has been useful. My wifes Porsche Cayenne is due for a change in a couple of months and we had been toying with the idea of buying a Range Rover. Based on this response and in comparison with the level of service we get from Porsche, there is not a chance that I would buy another JLR product.

Sorry to hear this.
I know from experience you have to phone LR assist to get a decent car.

Not prepared to share the full details online but both the dealer and JLR are worse than Feckin useless.

Life is way too short and I am simply not willing to put up with what I experienced. I can only hope that the widely reported quality issues being experienced across the range, the hemoraging residuals and the piles of unsold bling mobiles results in the outcome they deserve.

This is terrible and I too have had a crap time with LR and that's partly why I sold the Heritage, although they car was fine.
I've just bought another which is 3 years old but I'll be using Promec for its servicing and I'll use a local body shop for any paint issues and take the hit myself.
Your Defender set up looked FAB and am sad that you sold up.
I love the Defender but also think LR customer care and the local dealership leave a lot to be desired.
I couldn't even get an invite to the launch of the Ewok convertable 😂 even after buying 3 Defenders from them

Yes, Im afraid any masochistic desires I may have will be satisfied in other ways Laughing not by owning a late model Defender.

50 years old, exquisitely engineered and a joy to work on.

Did the buyer not know about the fault or just confident they could fix it?
