That is truly terrible. Thank you for taking it up with Land Rover because if you don't complain, nothing happens.

Thanks Peachy...that's good to hear... alarming though at the same time that this could potentially have slipped

Andman: Checked all mine and they are smooth as a baby's b.m. You've certainly got a Friday car(or the seats at least). Not good at the price you've paid. Keep at them 'til it gets resolved to your satisfaction. Rod SDV6 (14.5) Corris Grey NZ Spec + door mouldings, mud flaps and tow bar

Well I hope Johnson Controls are being given a good kicking for such shoddy work.

Nothing short of perfect will be acceptable,,, talk of re-plumping using foam/padding and 'steaming'... Hunters are excellent in aftercare so I expect a smooth process to resolve. I assume a specialist upholsterer may even do a better job than LR.

Yes, please do keep us updated but at least you seem to have a dealer who isn't in denial.

Not good. My seats are fine except for a very small bulge in the passenger seat.

I'm going to send them the car with yellow stick-its on the imperfections, pretty much all seats to be honest, including the buckle, they will open the car and wonder WTF is this - bcoz there will be quite a few of them. Photos have already been sent. And for the record I've done 700 miles and the front passenger seat has largely been unoccupied, and when someone was in it they weren't the size of a ![]() I can only see upside in going back to the dealer, and 'Chrisr1806' given that leather will stretch if 'allowed to' IMHO I think you should get it seen to early on whilst the dealer still remembers you. ![]() Lexus traded in ..a total piece of crap Boldly now acquired - a Lexus RX 450hL BoldlyGone...Sep 15 MY16 RRS SDV6, HSE, Barolo Black, Espresso/Almond interior..
