Car had its 2nd service yesterday.

Started to clean the car today and noticed a wheel nut missing and another finger loose on the same wheel.  

Obviously the "technicians" couldn't wait to road test it and rev the nuts off it! 5.0 Ltr Superchrged RRS2, Chile Red, Sideways out of junctions!
TDV8 HST Stornaway on a 08.. remapped.. now gone and replaced, was a mighty fine car..
4.2 SC First Edition when they first came out, quick car!

Assuming that's at a LR dealership, I can't say I'm at all surprised. Shower of the lot of them.

You could mention it to the garage but they'll deny all knowledge etc. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Sorry I missed the 2-year birthday, so another photograph a couple of days late.

Numbers 6,000,000 and (arguably) 5,999,999:

Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated

I know its near 1 year ago but were you happy with the colour? I ordered MY18 SVR over 1 week ago and went for Borealis Black Ultra and similar interior but initially went for Satin Matte finish but, after lots of homework and reading LR list of dos and don'ts for the Matte finish...I've chickened out tonight and just gone for Borealis Black Ultra Gloss

was the colour as good as you hoped?

thanks

I did look at the ligurian Black but in the end decided on Borealis Black.

From what you are saying. Should I avoid the dealer pushing the car prior to delivery ??

Do a search for nod1 posts as he rejected the car and is awaiting the replacement

Ive just had a message from a eBay seller & im wondering if it a car someone has rejected,,Ive read on here you can’t get a svr with black alloys but this car has,,here’s the message.

Around £5k premium then? Seems that it was just a small problem with the wheels that seems to be ok now.
Still a SVR ordered now will not be delivered before June.

Alf i do believe Nod has ordered the same colour again and he did tell me it was worth it. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

thanks, only searched Nod post for colour so didn't pick up on the issue, shocking to hear but good its getting finally sorted. MY18 Range Rover Sport SVR (18' - current)
Land Rover Evoque (16'-18')
Porsche 911 Turbo S Convertible (13’-16’)
Audi R8 V10 (10’-13’)
Golf R32 (06’-10’)
BWM M3 (04’-06’)
TVR Tuscan S (03’-04’)
TVR Chimera 4.5 (99’-02’)
Peugeot 206 GTI (99’-02’)
Alf Romeo 156 (92’-98’)
Ford Orion (89’-92’)
Ford Escort (’87-’89)

Just for clarity - the Gloss black wheels are an optional extra on the 22 inch rims. Well, this was true for the MY15. SVR with a few bits from Urban and Glohh

Still by far the best colour for the best SVR

Yes, that still looks lovely Phil.  SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Well tidy, not biased of course

Just checking in - 8 years and nearly 88k miles later, still the most fabulous car. Ever.

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?
