No - that's why I bought another LR after all my previous problems

Two year service interval - JLR have to be joking; long service intervals to reduce the total cost of ownership over the first three years & thus appeal to buyers - false economy.

SWMBO Octavia has 20k/2yr service intervals. Needless to say it gets an annual service at MOT time every year. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

5 year servicing is a great idea for MW

Hey Muddy, just caught up on the DS saga - pretty shoddy behaviour by LR! Really sorry you have had to endure such a fiasco - they have such good products but such rubbish dealers. That said I still love dealing with Chris at Roger Young in Plymouth - he cannot try harder to keep his customers pleased. Sadly I am also due to move on to a new car in the next couple of months (my HSE Black will hopefully be up for sale on here soon). I have decided to leave LR for now in an attempt to save money too (just about to buy a house near Bath so massive mortgage coming my way...and couldn't get a good enough deal on a Disco Sport.). So ....I have ordered a brand new Skoda Superb Estate 280 TSI 4x4 in Moon White with 19" anthracite wheels, DSG paddles and panoramic roof and lots of stuff (actually I think I ticked almost every box - oops). However I did get a 22% discount (£9000) and extended 4 year warranty so probably not the financial black hole it may appear! I will desperately miss the HSE Black - it has been awesome, not only reliable but a great companion that continues to surprise me even now with its range of capability - but needs must and I need to reduce my monthly payment to sensible levels. My longer term plan is to swap my wife's Corsa for a new Defender when it comes out....can't leave the brand alone for too long eh? Again really sorry about your saga, but hopefully you will soon start to love the car and really enjoy it. All the very best, Anthony. HSE Black - Orkney Grey, ivory leather, privacy glass, tow bar. GBNF - Discover 4 XS Nara Bronze (11); Discovery 3 HSE, Zermatt Silver (57); Discovery 3 HSE, Buckingham Blue (55); Volvo V70 Titanium SE (53); Audi A4 1.9 TDI SE, Denim Blue (02); Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6, Black (99-V); VW Corrado VR6, Red (92-K); Toyota MR2, Racing Green (94-M); Nissan Sunny GTI, Red (92-K); Mk1 Toyota MR2 T-bar, Red (89-G); Citroen AX GT, Red (87-E); Talbot Horizon, Snot Green (83-A, I think). |
