Hey Shane, what kind of 20"s did you take off the car and are they for sale ? PM me with details....

Cheers Beefbops

Playing devil's advocate - the car is sold on condition and mileage, is it material to either of these factors as to howe many times it has been sold previously.

At 1st I thought this was going to be a one owner story that was going to turn out to be a hire company.

I'd prefer 10 previous good owners to 1 previous bad one

I appreciate that you may have been given incorrect info - and it may be important to know whether this was deliberate or an honest mistake but if you are happy with the car then keep it.

Hope you get a result with the dealer.

I'm just confused as to why you would HPI AFTER the purchase?But good luck anyway

Can see why u would be annoyed that the info u were given was not accurate but id suspect a main dealer will have many cars on site and it would be easy for an administrator or salesman to become confused over the cars details, so to suggest you were lied to simply to sell you the car it might be a bit harsh.

Car in my opinion sounds like a bit of a dog anyway, last thing I would be doing is modifying it..... rather handing it back and looking for a right one. There is only 3k margin in the older RRS and id suspect only so much the dealer can offer to appease you over a small error which can be put down to confusion. The car screams problems to me even if you manage to get £500 back due to the impact the change in owners will have on its salability thats not going to go very far when it comes to LR parts and labour costs.

Shane I bought a FL1 for work from your local LR dealer - turned out it had been crash repaired badly but they gave me a full refund  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Hiya Shane I have a sneaky feeling we had a chat the other day....by the way car doesnt sound like a dog to me, egr valve, replaced no issues, the only issue is owners as the salesman would have had the screen in front of him and been able to login to tell you exactly how many instead of getting mistaken info from maybe another RR....

We did buddy, looking forward to seeing you soon mate.

Right I had the meeting at LR today and I'm glad to say it's all sorted, they offered me a full refund even though they knew I'd changed the wheels, but I decided that I didn't want to part with the RR so we both agreed on a good lump some in return aswell as a HST front grill to be supplied and fitted free of charge.

So I'm happy again.

LOL, I got the wheels from wheelworx in Mansfield, cost £1050 fully fitted and balanced, really good service too.

What value was the lump sum?
