Ady - glad your around tonight - how can I put 2 small RRS icons on my profile - Java Black & Orkney Grey Whistle


Peachy, Ive just been playing around with my signature, if you upload the two pics of the two sports that match your own sports, I'm guessing Java black and Orkney grey into your gallery, then copy and paste them into your signature, you can then edit with wording at the side of each pic if you wish. Thumbs Up See my signature. Wink

Looks superb PEACHY Thumbs Up I also went from black to grey but I still think black looks best if you can always keep it clean (I couldn't Laughing). Grey is a lot less demanding and still looks very good.

About interior LED lights ... I did this mod on my previous Sport and it made a big difference. I reverted the bulbs to original before selling the car and kept the LEDs for my SDV6. However, I found the standard ones bright enough and decided to keep them until may be they lose some brightness. Do you feel you need brighter interior in the new car or just assuming standard is the same as the old one (it wasn't in my case).

England 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Santorini Black

Looks great peachy.
Does sound like you had a bit of a 'misunderstanding' or should I say ding dong with the dealer though which does put a damper on a nice day (well we don't buy toys everyday!)

Pick my 2013 AB up Friday and hope I don't have any issues with the dealer!

^^^^ I had a bad experience & won't be using the dealers again - I liked the Sport too much to walk away. I have been promised another Range Rover / Landrover Vehicle for a period of time whilst my RRS is having the rear bumper " touched up". Whilst I was picking up my Sport another couple picked up a 63 plate Evoque - their car was parked inside the showroom & was polished up to the point they appeared on the car park.
Regarding the light scratches on the rear bumper " just pretend they aren't there " was the managers response!!! I had requested the Range Rover logo alloy centre caps - I was told they are not standard - I showed him the pics of the RRS with them on the first time I had viewed it. After 5 mins he said he had some he could take off another vehicle - I said forget it - I will buy new ones - he didn't bat an eyelid - just walked off. I was then sat down & asked if I wanted 'dink' insurance Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter at that point - head went - said to my wife - I'm off - forget it these people are taking the Censored !!!!!! After calming down we was reassured all agreed work would be done Wink
As I left I passed the so called manager & he didn't even acknowledge me - according to the sales rep - he was having a bad day !. I will be calling him personally tomorrow morning to ask why he is an immature - ignorant Censored .
Yes my Sport is 30 months old - yes it is used - but if I can see the issues why can't the experts !
The Sport was taxed - it had done 300 miles since I had viewed it last although I had placed a £500 deposit I feel it was still being used. The advertised mileage was below the actual - allowing everyday use ?? It was still advertised for sale even though I had paid a deposit. Overall my experience was disappointing - buying a used MG Rover in 2004 was more fulfilling.
Never mind - I have the Colour I wanted - the spec I wanted & the satisfaction that I will not be recommending the Censored in the future. 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

England 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Santorini Black

Mmmmmm..... Interesting. When I viewed the one I'm buying it had done over 2k miles UNDER what they had advertised!!
Now that would Censored me off somewhat if they were using the car after I had paid a deposit and arranged a collection date!!

All in all, as long as you were happy with the deal and it's the car you want then forget about the dealership. Just never use them again!
