My car arrived at the agent. Don't worry - be happy?

Emax said so. There are things to check and need correction and things to wait and see. A few days earlier I also saw "my" Greni but didn't check it that thoroughly. I do that when it is washed and handed over fine. Of course I will pay close attention to emax problems. I hope everything is going to be alright. I'm sure...

What in the blazes is this flag thing??
Surely this isn’t on every IG??

(Thanks for the photos by the way)

I only realised this a couple of months ago, will be corrected with some black gaffer tape until a more suitable solution is found.

You are Scotsman, aren't you?
To be honest, I am happy I have the raised air intake, otherwise I would have done the same!

After seeing those pictures I wonder if I really want the car to be paid when I see it the first time next week

I don't want to bias anybody. My postings just document the status quo of my car prior to the PDI.

Just go there relaxed, have a close look and take your time (we took three hours). It might be a good idea though, to bring a camera with you.

EDIT: And perhaps, you should as well take your wife with you. Four eyes see more than two.

I am quite surprised with the findings of @emax : this is indeed not as it should be!
I never inspected my car in this way, because I looked only at the practical things, but I think my car didn't show any strange damage.

My car (not mine anyway, still not ) had 18 km on the odometer. The car of @emax 29: that's a huge difference, in %!

But, (and I didn't hear it from my dealer, but read it here and took my conclusions, as I noticed the same paper "transfer case OK" at my dealer): there is a potential problem with the transfer case!
How do you test it: by driving the car! That could explain the excess distance!

Concerning the "plastic parts Gaps" and "Lynn Calder": you should be happy and keep it like this: probably that was the day she worked herself in the factory to assess the quality, and she was happy about it! No quality issues according to her in one of her last communications, like you say!
I want that gap too if this is the standard "exceeded" quality! I will complain

They probably have a serious issue with the transfer case AND the legalities of driving a new vehicle to diagnose the issue before they are rendering the vehicles as used. Understandable why they wouldn't want to share that info with the public, but the customer should have the right to know what the heck is going on.

 

[emax]

Isn't it funny how those things wouldn't bother you at all if you caused them, but that it's super upsetting to see when buying new to know that someone else was irresponsible with it?

It's not funny at all.

As was written before, it's a difference whether I made the scratches or somebody else. If I do it, they have a story, and they generate experience.

I must admit that it was my very attentive wife which detected the optical flaws. She's always been the DCI in our life.

Sadly, there was non such paper in my car ...

Translation: "I must admit that ... She's always been the ABREviation in our life".

 

[emax]

DCI is the common title of a particular (and quite high) British police officer rank: Detective Chief Inspector.

Lost in translation. Funny meaning ironic.

 

[emax]

Lost in translation.

True. Sorry.

 

[willkim]

Finish of inside the gas cap does not look delicate. It looks pretty sharp, easy to be cut. Is that true?

 

[CountyV8]

I don't really care about the 29 Km. Comments here saying that this is within a normal range are reassuring. Just didn't want one of the rednecks from the transport company went for some pizzas with it.

Thats why they ship in transport mode

 

[das mo]

After mine has been sitting at the dealer for few weeks now, I finally been able to drive over today.
VIN in the 1900 range. Initial inspection with none of the flaws emax reported.
Quite some pollen und dust all over the vehicle so hard to find any scratches, but ladder and tow bar mount plate are flawless.
My Gren has no fixes to be done. They only need to mount side bars and tow bar.
Only reason for me not being able to pay and drive away is registration papers not being delivered yet.

 

[IG_in_AZ]

Why not. Maybe they left one in the car. You can warm it up then.

Protip: That's what the heated passenger seat is for.

Is it known what exactly the parameters of transport mode are - I know the principles but the detail?

 

[DCPU]

Do you know if they have these available to fit at the agents?
