2014 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Corris Grey

I don’t think you will like the answer but if your car breaks down and the dealer cannot get the parts, your car will be parked in their yard going nowhere.

This happened when the Defenders were new and spare parts were difficult to source. There was a guy on here who reversed his into a post and it was off the road for months.

I don’t think any other manufacturer would do anything different in these circumstances.

I’m sure if it is a warranty claim they would honour that.

Good luck with that

I’m sure someone will have tried taking a vehicle manufacturer to court before in these kind of circumstances but I doubt you would get very far.

But if you think you can, fill your boots

Spoke to my dealer yesterday. They have a backup system they are using at the moment to register cars etc, and expect to be back up and running fully next week.

Regarding OTA updates bricking everyone's car - surely we have to approve any update before they are installed, so unless you install updates immediately after being prompted there should be ample time for any problems to be recognised and warnings to be sent out.

That's what I hope anyway!

lt was only a hypothetical question, although suppose it might be possible.

Looks like this may go on for a while. Some are suggesting October at the earliest.

Senior insiders have conceded the outage will take “a matter of weeks rather than days” to resolve, with a “long tail of work” needed even once systems are restored.
