Unbelievable Shocked

I go to oxford regularly to visit my daughter and will stay well clear of them if I have a problem Evil or Very Mad

I have blackvue footage of local lr specialist testing my rrs subwoofer and accelerater in a 30 up to 40mph on the mot and I was not amused so can imagine how you feel Rolling Eyes

I will probably not use them again but running out of places to go Big Cry

I would go to police with those speeds Thumbs Up 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!

Yeap......I would phone the local CAD Room and ask to be put through to Traffic, and ask if they would be interested in the manner in which your car was driven.

bit of an update.

Land Rover spoke to DP & got same Censored answer as I did.

I must say a really big thank you Thumbs Up to Land Rover they have treated it with due respect and did try on my behalf

So now so incensed I've contacted both the Police & local press, I'm sure they will both find that Hartwells are beyond reproach ! Paul

How can they justify speeding to test a brake fault? surely that is an unsafe way to replicate an issue?

If they had anything about them they should have run it at a dyno, wherethey could have run those speeds without any danger to the public, not to mention your licence.

Interesting that a dealer principal gives the ok for technicians to exceed speed limits and this break the law Shocked

In a way I hope you receive a speeding fine just to push this further with the dealership and the police.

Just to keep you up to date.

Local paper spoke to Hartwells

Response below


Hartwell were unrepentant when I asked them to explain themselves, didn’t seem to care that they had broken the law, shown no regard to your vehicle or put people in danger!

Im sure if they do not care about how they treat a customers car & breaking the law, they likewise probably do not bother servicing it properly either Exclamation

I am just dumb founded by them Sad Paul

wonder if their head office is as happy with this kind of response.....

http://www.hartwell.co.uk/customer-complaints-procedure

Its a franchise, so they have no direct control over the dealership, but can have discussions around the bad press for the brand.....

Theres a complaint e-mail address on that page as well. Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

Hi Bodsy,

Did not realise its a franchise !

Learn something new everyday.

Anyway had an interview for the press & some photo's so a bit late for me to complain to them. although I had already emailed them at that email address.

The head office is the same address as the dealership.
