So unfair they get “In terms of warranty, Land Rover is carrying on its five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty, as well as five-year service plans which include five-years of road-side assistance.” 1951 80" S1 2.0 1995 110 300TDI 1995 90 300TDI |

We get 3 years or 100,000 miles here, maybe cars for overseas markets are better built and more reliable than cars for the European market!

3 years standard in 🇦🇺, JLR Aus are offering incentives on all models, the extra 2 years will be an insurance based policy from Allianz, not a manufacturers warranty, so highly diluted, and that includes the roadside assistance which will have significant limitations vs Land Rover assist you get in the first 3 years.. yet another pommie bar steward down under MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |

Don’t forget that the ‘five year service plan’ equals only two dealer services as the service intervals are two years apart.
Marketing people justifying their worth again. For my wife’s last three cars it was a £500 option, so effectively you pay for one service, get the next free and replace the car in year three....... In the UK at least it does include free Ad Blue top ups though to be honest sometimes it’s quicker to do it yourself depending how far you are from a dealer. |

And especially when the dealer wants you to book the car in all day just for a DEF refill and cannot schedule the 10 minutes or less that it takes to refill it’s little tank.
Today I collected my old 90 from the village garage, it was actually ready to collect last night and they told me that even with an annual service (only 1100 miles but 12 months since the last) and MOT as well as fitting a full set of new NAS lights for me, they were able to say when I booked it in that it would be ready by 5pm, just that I wasn’t able to collect it then due to an another commitment. Local LR dealer I have to be there at 8am yet they cannot even tell me that the car will be ready to collect the next day let alone today and with no loan car needed they get upset when I tell them that due to the bus schedules from the back of beyond to them I need to know by 3pm when to collect the car to be able to get to them before they close at 6pm............

TIM - what’s the part number for that rubber load space mat can’t find it anywhere, but need something over the hard plastic flooring that the dogs can’t grip onto and get thrown around. |

I’ll check later when it gets fully daylight but I’m certain mine doesn’t have the bumper protector as I’ve taken it out several times and not noticed any flap of material hanging underneath. Maybe I have a “collectible” and they’ve changed the design because that fabric cloth would be useful for stopping scratches on the top surface of the bumper. I agree, the hard p,attic checker plate-a-like is very slippery, I asked the dealer to supply the mat when I ordered the car because I carry two boxes of strops and recovery kit in the boot and noticed on the test drive that there was something sliding around in the demo car’s boot, it was the spare wheel cover box for the car!

i need to speak to mine then, as the website is quite specific, 3 year / 100K KM's and 2 year Land Rover Insurance extended (underwritten by Allianz) They have been offering to waive the extended warranty costs if you buy new between certain dates.. You may want to get that also in writing from your dealer..not as if LR dealers have not misinformed us punters in the past   yet another pommie bar steward down under

I have RSVP'ed (twice) to a test drive at the LR track near Lithgow. LR sent out the first invite and then 2 days later my dealer sent out the same one! That was Monday and then Wednesday last week and no replay as to if I have a place for the date I wanted:-(

The part number moulded into my loadsptace rubber mat is VPLES0566 but a google search only brings up the one with the fabric extension. I notice that there are 2 press studs on the underside of mine where the fabric bit might be attatched....... I wonder if a highly qualified LR “technician” employed to fit it before the car was delivered threw the protector away as not need?
