1) 2) If the dealer isn't a franchised Land Rover dealer then tell them to get it serviced at the local franchised dealer and to get all the TSB's done and recalls put right or you won't take it. If they are a Land Rover dealer then still get them to do it - Land Rovers are extremely complex cars and need properly trained techs to look after them, not the "under the arches" change your oil and check the tyres merchant.

My RRS goes to a dealer in Stirling, but it is still in warranty. My Defender is now 14 years old and goes to a non franchise LR specialist out near Falkirk. They can service any Land Rover these days and I know they have a supercharged goes in there and the owner runs a TDV6 Disco3 so he knows them too and RRS is a Disco3 in smarter clothes. If you want details I can send them. In the city in Glasgow there is Taggarts Glasgow, on the outskirts there is Taggarts Motherwell and down in Ayr is Parks Land Rover and Shields (who I personnaly won't touch with a barge pole!) then if you are feeling very rich there is an Overfinch branch in Glasgow but I don't know if they do servicing or only sales 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

It is a known problem with the aluminium trim on the side steps that has been reported on here a couple of times, if you use the search you might turn up something helpful as there was a fix for it that didn't involve a dealer trip 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
