TH White looked at it and identified the issues, however Guy Salmons wanted to rectify it so it went back to them to sort it all out.

To be honest apart from the fact that the car clearly should have never been offered for sale with the problems they have done a lot to rectify the situation, just a pity it has been a while doing the jobs, but I have been left with a brand new Sport while they sort it. 2017 Range Rover Sport Autobiography

thanks for the info - I'm glad they are sorting it for you.
Hope you can start enjoying it soon - mind you I bet you won't want to give the demo back now

2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

TH White have been very good to me regarding identifying problems.. But I'd never buy a car from them.

Service = fantastic

Sales = poor

And yes..when you have to give the demo back you'll be wishing you'd had the Defender all this time!! RRS gone

Yep same as that, they will match quotes on services and I get on well with one of the service managers and they do a good job at a fair price.

However I think their cars are very expensive, I had a test drive there and the sales chap never followed up even though he said he would call me in a week, but I got a car from Guy Salmons that had less detailing work required which they have now done, so an imacculate car, 1 year younger than TH white's car and 2 grand less that TH Whites car. 2017 Range Rover Sport Autobiography

ditto,

I was looking at one of their TDV8's back in Nov last year, They were struggling with a trade in value for my Impreza (even though their sister garage is a Subaru dealership ) so I left it with them to keep looking for a better trade in figure.

3 days later I call cause there had been no word...and they'd sold the TDV8 without even telling me.

Needless to say I looked elsewhere and found my current one a grand cheaper with less miles and better spec. RRS gone

Well here it is, brace yourselves Not great quality, taken on the iphone.

Not sure if I should have tints done, the interior is Ivory so it makes the interior look very nice and airy which I like, little worried that tints would darken the interior to much.

Has anyone else with a tonga green with Ivory interior had tints done?
any pictures?

I know I had my fair share of problems with the purchase and Guy Salmons but they came good in the end and did offer to refund me and have the car back, but it's all done now and I liked the colour combination to much to give it up. 2017 Range Rover Sport Autobiography

2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Buckingham Blue

Nice car! Special colour!

Need clear side indicators though!
And SC grill and vents would finish it off nicely.

Cheers SW

SRE, thanks for the picture, what grade of tint did you have, that looks very smart.

Martin, the dealer sticker is now removed. Will be ordering me RRS forum sticker shortly. 2017 Range Rover Sport Autobiography

My car already had the tint when I bought it, however if it helps, I have just uploaded the tint certificate to my gallery that came with the car. However it is quite a light tint when inside the car.

Also clear side repeaters, think about smoked / grey repeaters.
