I had my MY2007 TDV6 HSE in for one or two minor things before my warranty expires that required someone from the service department to come with me on a road test. During our chat, I mentioned that I was holding off buying a new MY2010 car as I was concerned about the problems other owners are having with them - as reported quite vocally on our Forum. I was told that LR are currently in the middle of a large scale Quality Assurance programme to fix the known gremlins in all new 2010s and that the cars currently being built at the factory have had several modifications and software upgrades to rectify the dead battery and key non-recognition issues that are seemingly affecting the new model. The man from the dealer said I was being very sensible to wait until MY2011 to allow the current Quality assurance programme to be implemented to iron out the issues with the current model.

There you go.  If you see a bandwagon - it's too late.....

muff,

as far as i know, mine was built with the most recent upgrades ( the salesman would say that wouldnt he!) but 400miles and all present and correct!
if you wait till 2011 then you are missing out on a valuble year with the new model! the next totally new one is in 2013, by then you should get a reasonable price for a three year old one, if you wait untill the 2013 model is a year or two old then trade in price for the current model will be pretty poor ( i think!!) i see where you are coming from, but do landrover change the spec much between years?? , you will know more than me!!!

cheers

Muffd, I agree with codfather, Don't wait because of percieved issues with the MY10. I had a 2007 prior to getting my 2010 model. The 3 litre engine is Sooooooo much better than the 2.7! The interior is leaps and bounds ahead of the old one and as far as the niggles are concerned, well, yes there have been a few, although overall I have so far had less than I had with my 2007 car. At the end of the day I don't think there are any more issues with the 2010 models than previous years. I love my 2010 car - and in 3 years I'll be in the perfect position to consider moving on to the brand new 2013 model.
