My shiny new V8's at the dealer for March 1st dely. Going to have a peek tomorrow, anything I should look out for?
Cheers

Andy

Congrats on the new arrival

Check the paint finish with a fine toothcomb.

Check that all doors & both tailgates open and close properly (some are badly aligned in factory causing bouncing open when closing or snatching when opening.

Check around door & hatch frames on main body for paint scrapes where poorly fitted doors etc are scraping the
paint. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Funny, Stornoway clearly a wifes favourite. My wife 'Made me' choose the Stornoway over the Buckingham Blue.

Bigby mate, she did you a big favour, now go give her £500 to go shopping! well done that woman! It's just me, and sorry to diss anyone on here, but driving a blue car is liking wearing navy shoes......

but at least I still have all my own hair................................... but cannot deny being over 50 and rapidly approaching retirement...................... only another 5 years to go, if there is any money left in Final Salary Pension Fund by then or my industry hasn't raised the retirement age to something silly like 65 from 58 due to a severe shortage of personnel. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
