The reg has been issued for the old Sport, WU07AWW. I believe the car is in the process of being "Fixed" and will be available soon for sale
So if you see a Cairns Blue HSE Sport TDV8 with black leather advertised with 49000 miles, one owner and full Land Rover history with sunroof, side steps, fridge, RSE, logic 7, enhanced speaker system, tow kit and flaps, avoid it like the plague, in this case it is a case of "too good to be true"!!!! having said that, it does have 12 months warrantee on engine, gearbox, torque converter, turbos intake system including inter cooler, even the wheel nuts and I paid for the lot.... 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

I wonder if they will sell it as a land rover warranty used car or push it off into the trade so no comeback on land rover  Paul

I am told that due to its condition and history the car will be retailed to recoup some of the" loss" sustained by the dealer during the transaction
Only loss I can see was the one I suffered after paying my contribution and then taxing and Mot the car to have to return it two days later. Am still hemorrhaging money waiting for tax and never to be refund voluntarily. Looks like that's a small claims issue.  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

It could have a 3 year warranty, it would still spend most of its time at the dealer awaiting to be put right I think its just one of those vehicles that will always have problems because its had too many inexperienced monkeys trying to fix it. Its a shame because it is a nice well specced motor.

Good chance they could end up putting it in an auction to try and get shut of it so that there is no come back to them? Current: 06 RR Sport HSE TDV6, Bonatti grey, black leather. Defender 90 pick up. Vito 110cdi

I've got visions of someone joining up as a new member and being really proud of his new RRS TDV8, posting photos of it and then simple1 comes along and bursts his bubble...

 RRS gone

Would I do that
I really hope that the next owner has better luck with it than me.  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

^^ is that a passive admission of "driver error"

Been blamed by LR for driving it too hard and braking it, being overweight causing the seat frames to fail and finally being unreasonable about the continuos failures. So no it's nothing passive at all.
I drive it like its designed to be driven, does say Sport on back of the tin and at 6ft 1 and 15 stone don't class myself as obese or overweight and don't think paying 60 k five years ago makes me unreasonable when the spends more time at dealers than my garage  2x TDV6.

me, I was only joking They didn't really say all those things in seriousness did they

I wish I was joking but no it's the truth. Like many others who got the operational noise tosh and the early turbo failures, these are all expected operational noises much like the bendy wheel rims saga that was a safety feature on my B5 RS4.......keep em in the dark and feed em !  2x TDV6.

Wouldn't be unusual.

I went to look at a 911GT3 at a Porsche main dealer, and after some confusion as to where the car was, the salesman came out to see me with the very frank news that they would be withdrawing the car from sale, as their pre-sales preparations had revealed the car would be needing a new engine and therefore wouldn't achieve the standard required by their approved scheme to receive their full support (warranty). They would indeed commission the engine replacement, but would then send the car off for auction and wash their hands of it.

Now it may well have been an absolute gem for the next owner, but with Porsches operating levels, I'm sure it didn't take them long to write that loss off.

I asked for the registration just in case I stumbled upon a bargain car, and they happily provided it  2016 VW Golf GTD DSG

Scary thought isn't it, I've not a great deal from auctions, did pick up a cheap 2005 Focus tdci Ghia in the auction's once which ended up being an absolute dog and smoked constantly until it was warm, looked as if previous owner ran it low on oil

Can't imagine what shade of brown my undies would turn if I bought a RRS or a Porsche from an auction and it ended up needing costly engine repair bills  Current: 06 RR Sport HSE TDV6, Bonatti grey, black leather. Defender 90 pick up. Vito 110cdi
