I haven't broached that with them just yet... they're being good trying to rectify the situation but its starting to wear a bit thin....

oops, just realised the last comment wasn't aimed at me

probably applies to both Stu
2023 RRS p440e SE Dynamic
2018 Discovery 5 SDV6 HSE Santorini gone
2014 SDV6 HSE Santorini gone
2007 TDV6 HSE Java gone
2003 Discovery TD5 ES gone and missed
2008 Q7 gone
2005 X5 gone
2003 X5 gone
2000 Freelander 2.5 V6 gone- not missed!!

Not sure where I stand on that to be honest. It's arguable that the car wasn't fit for purpose, but I'm waiting for LR to come back to me with what the problem is before I contact the dealer I bought it from.

Depending on what yarn they spin you as whether you can reject the car. Lemon laws give them three strikes then you have grounds to reject it. As is, unless the gearbox has split in two, they just have to fix it and return it. It is unusual for a ZF box to dump its guts and more likely to be a cooler or associated pipework.
But once you know what's wrong have a head on with dealer principal and see what they are going to do to resolve the lack of confidence and situation. Drive a hard bargain for whatever you fancy, nice weekend away/free servicing.  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Fantastic car when its working though...

I completely feel for you. i had a similar experience on the day mine was delivered- failed battery on first drive and at the time I didn't care if I never saw it again.

However, almost a year on and it's performed pretty much faultlessly after day 1. I don't have any thoughts of replacing it now. Hope that you get this sorted soon. Rod

A battery you can forgive, cars sat in sales yards often suffer, but this failure does seem major 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Just picked the car up from LR. It was an oil pipe that had been rubbing against a bracket, eventually wearing through and causing the leak. Once the level was detected as low it triggered the sensor. They've given it an all over check and said its in good shape other than rear tyres are down to barely legal on the shoulders.

Spoken to the dealer I bought it from and got 2 new tyres and some mats out of them. Hopefully just one of those things but we'll see.

I would reject the vehicle as you have only just bought it and buy another sport - no point chancing problems in the future with engine having lost oil particularly when you read other members tales of woe  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
