After replacing my park assist module that was eventually sorted after 14 days in total in and out of dealership, I received my autobiography dynamic back.
To which I was out shopping with my good lady, and upon opening the rear hatch noticed a gap on the bottom right hand side corner below the hatch seal which is about 10 to 12mm,the passenger side also has a gap, I reported this to the dealers who stated that the workshop could not fix the problem, after conversation with the dealer principle I told him I was not happy with paying this kind of money and every time I opened the hatch I was looking at a gap, we looked at a model in his showroom that had gaps as well not as much as my car though. He passed the issue onto L/R customer services who stated the this was within build tolerance to which I’m really annoyed at especially with a car mark like Land Rover, I’m still in correspondence with the dealer principle and land rover customer care(although they are not being very helpful at all)
I would appreciate our members thoughts on my comments, please see attached photos.

I must admit that looks pretty shabby and just raises the concern about what is also 'shabby' construction but just not visible.

It is not what we expect considering the car's cost but I guess, if its the way they decided to make 'em - its a question of like it or lump it.

Hi,

Please see your inbox, I have sent you a PM.

Many thanks,
Pete Please note although Land Rover will try to assist you with your issue, we are unable to provide any technical advice. This account is available between 0900 and 17:00 hours Monday – Friday. Outside of this time if you require assistance, please drop us a Private Message and we'll get back to you.

I have a similar problem with the waist rails at the bottom of the driver and passenger door windows in my Evoque which are out of alignment. It's been back to the dealer twice. They do not have a clue and at some point I will muster the energy to go back for a third time. LR need to take a close look at the fit and finish of their competitors.

Most of all, I wish LR would stop patting themselves on the back. Their supply of the UK market is a shambles, the dealers are hopeless, the build quality is iffy. Bored now... Mark

dfy, That is NOT acceptable, if Pete can't sort it out, hand it back and shop elsewhere. If this is the standards L/R have lowered themselves to, then they are going to lose a lot of custom.

LR may for sure say it is within tolerance ....

I as a customer would say it is intolerable ..

Test driven both the RRS2 and MY14 BMW X5 and got to say one of the things putting me off the rrs is the build quality. MY 09TDV8

Is the bottom part actually part of the rear bumper?

Do you have a photo from stood back further?

Unbelievable that LR think this is within manufacturing tolerances.
If this is the case, they need to look at the German competition and take a leaf out of their book. MY13.5 Autobiography, Santorini Black, Privacy Glass. Gone
Driving a milk float for now.

Tell them to fix it or reject the car Gone but not forgotten, 2005 RRS SC first edition, BMW 2010 Z4,TVR Tamora, TVR Cerb, MERC SL 55 AMG, E46 M3, Z4, Jag S type R, Skyline R33 GTR 640 bhp, Evo FQ 400, L322 RR, X5, Lotus Esprit V8 twin turbo, Lotus Elise 135r, Nissan Murano, Honda S2000, 911, Boxster s...and a few more

To me, it looks as though the seal has come off the body seam. Can you not just push it back on?

Gal,
Speedo won't change...the diameter of the tyres are all the same regardless of the wheel size.

Will be checking for any alignment issues when my RRS turns up whenever that may be! RRS P460e

Many big trips done in this one.
1982 Rangerover nearly restored.

Nice 2013 Freelander TD4 manual (for daughter to learn on) with much better stereo compared with previous SD4 SE with Meridian which sounded bad!

What do you expect:





Nuff said. SW
