I didn't do a thorough walk round of mine. Have you collected yours, mine is still at Belton? There is an issue (facts unknown) and to date I do not know when I shall collect.Nomad, it looks like it was DG Trialmaster week at the factory then, mine has been delivered today at 0930hrs, which is about 10 days earlier than I had been told last weekend.
Looking very nice and I am happy with mine so far, apart from one little nigggle I picked up. On the edge of the floor actually under the plastic edge trim, in the middle at the back. It’s behind the big door and facing down toward the bumper there is some sort of grommet. It looks to be fix in place with a huge globe of glue or epoxy resin, on mine it hasn’t been finished off properly and has left a ridge of dried glue, that is quite visible when the back doors are open. I spotted it straight away. Check two others and those vehicles had been cleaned off and were not visible.
It’s hard to explain and I didn’t take a photo unfortunately.
I would keep the vehicle and stay in the forum.I think I am going to have to leave the Form for a while. Our car is absolutely fine, I can imagine there maybe issues that require fixing at the dealer, but I don't have any.The Software update has eradicated all messages and the interface is now stable.
Only issues that I have is after my wife has ben in the vehicle and messes with the HEVAC controls, takes a while to stabilise.
But every time I visit the Forum, the threads of failures depress me. Then I looked at Autotrader and now 89 cars are for sale on the UK site - that must be at least 10% of the cars in the UK, which doesn't help.
It's got to the stage where I am considering selling myself, as I don't want to be stuck with a vehicle that is unsellable. Should I ring the dealer? Sell on Autotrader? Or just keep it and not look here. I think the sensible option is stop visiting the Forum, as the vehicle is fine. Was on the A46 to Leics today and it cruises very well at the national speed limit +.
The forum by its nature deals with the faults, extremes, happenings, products and the events that happen. If everyone had an uneventful experience there would be no need for a forum. It is a community and thrives on the eventful and not the mundane. Stay put. And tell the wife to leave the HVAC settings alone.I think I am going to have to leave the Form for a while. Our car is absolutely fine, I can imagine there maybe issues that require fixing at the dealer, but I don't have worth shouting about. The Software update has eradicated all messages and the interface is now stable.
Only issues that I have is after my wife has been in the vehicle and messes with the HEVAC controls, takes a while to re-establish the desirable setting..

Hope to see you in Scotland if we ever get the ’meet’ togetherThis is my last post on this Forum, I have thought about it for some time. Why: there is far too much speculation without substance and people asking daft questions and most of it is very negative (quite depressing to be honest). I thought I would learn abut the vehicle, I find that I don't really learn anything except why someone doesn't like X or Y.
Regarding our vehicle, it is not perfect, but I am not spending every minute trying to find something wrong with it.
My only negative and it is my only negative is the sticking door button on the drivers side rear.
Minor point is that I would like the steering wheel to be perfectly lines up.
The positives - it all works as expected
Updates since I bought my vehicle, I have added:
Desire:
- Rubber Mats.
- Under Seat Storage bags from Australia.
- Picnic Table
- Cargo Net
- The "V" stickers.
- Chandlers Tyre Cover
- "It's not a Bl***y Land Rover! sticker.
- 2 x Lazers Utility-25 Maxx
- Roof Bars
.
- Lazer - 7" Sentinels
