Hi Muddywheels
I put a post in the general section about it. I had it serviced 2 days before we went, 6 hrs into 10hr drive in France warning light came on. The main dealer garage had it 3 days before they knew what it was then another 7 waiting for the part which was a five minute fix. so it basically ruined the last part of the hol which was supposed to be to Languedoc & then Provence. Now gone Orkney grey SDV6 HSE with body style kit contrast stitch ebony leather, privacy, black piano, 22" Lowenharts for summer, 20" with Leon LTZ for winter.

Can't say i was, we went early Sept, think we could do with some lessons from the French on how to make roads though the driving over there is an absolute pleasure. Now gone Orkney grey SDV6 HSE with body style kit contrast stitch ebony leather, privacy, black piano, 22" Lowenharts for summer, 20" with Leon LTZ for winter.

In the past LR parts were either in stock or overnight delivery - I have just waited a month for parts/repair and now being told problem has resolved itself/disappeared so they are not fitting part

See http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic19047.html
