Well I probably wouldn't refuse it over the screen issue. I've had the InControl Touch Duo thing since September in my Velar and once it a while it's done some weird things and then never again. It's buggy. One time the screen tilting was doing the opposite of what it should, and a couple times the main lower screen took a while to startup and was black for a while. But without any software updates it's running perfectly now and has done for a few months. It's new tech for them and they're working the kinks out. I'm sure they will get it sorted.

I'd be more upset about saggy leather. I've never seen it on my two Range Rovers or any of my 4 past Audi's. My Velar interior is flawless. I saw the sagging on another 2018 video and this is troubling. Hope the SVR seats don't suffer from this as well.

And by the way -- your chosen spec looks amazing! Congratulations. 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR – Bosphorus Grey

Regarding what you say was a rushed hand-over - LR pays the dealer for a fixed time for a handover -IIRC 2 or 3 hours, so the incentive is to get it done to move onto the next client/ “piece” of new business. It could be LR is being less than generous with the time allowed for the dealer to hand over. It is like PDI, LR allows a ludicrously short time of 2 hours which they consider adequate for the dealerships to PDI a new car any more and it comes out of the dealership’s pocket. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I just feel its such a shame to pick up a brand new car of this quality or any come to think of it and have these sort of problems.

LR really should get there act together. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Update:

My dealer promised to call me yesterday with an update and he failed to do so. I called him and gave him a piece of mind unfortunately as its just not good enough - problems with the car happen and I accept that, poor customer care and making false promises is not. He told me that ''the update on the software for your screen SHOULD be Friday but i cant see that myself'' - What the hell does that actually mean to me? is it a yes, or is it a no for Friday?! i had a meltdown and told him do what they want with the car but i am going to refuse it and will wait for a new one to be ordered for me in March.

He accepted that and didn't have an issue with it what so ever '' i don't blame you sir'''. just so infuriating to deal with and just agrees with everything i say. Even if my car is sorted and is spick and span Friday I'm not having it and il wait till March. If they value you my custom and appreciate the absolute idiocy ive had to deal with they will let me keep this loan car till then, but i wont hold my breath.

If a car cant be delivered for march, I'm taking the plunge and will just go completely left field and go for a used X5M and keeping the change to run it. Appalling, Atrocious, Pathetic dealership to deal with but i'll give them one last benefit of the doubt with another car. Generally i don't think this is a reflection on JLR as a whole, but more so the very popular JLR franchise that I'm dealing with - unsure if i can name them due to forum policy (or not?) but think around the Capital of South Wales.

I think you are very entitled to feel this way, these dealers incompetence is just staggering.

Would love to be there when they see you walk in though..  SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Hi,

I am having these issues with my car too. My lower screen went blank and I also lost the speedometer too! Further more I now have suspension failure! I have just posted about this on another thread. I am also thinking of rejecting the car but am giving them another day or two to see what happens. Totally appalling!

- unsure if i can name them due to forum policy (or not?) but think around the Capital of South Wales.

Rox10h I live less than a mile from this dealership and when I had my first RRS I had appalling service from them and now they have a huge shiney new showroom and workshop facilities but guess what, my last 3 RRSports including the SVR I have now I travel 35 miles and deal with another dealership who are a lot lot better. Not perfect but better as we are limited in South Wales to only 3 Dealerships you have to take what you get. But we are not in isolation, the more you read the forums the more you see that others have problems all around the U.K.

When you go in to the dealership, have a rant on the showroom floor, hopefully with a few customers around that can hear you.In fact tell anyone there how the car/dealership is. Don't let them take you into an office. The one thing they don't want are potential customers frightened off

This is such a shame. Buying an expensive top of the range car should be a pleasurable experience, not one that causes you stress and makes you angry!

We went back to Land Rover in 2012 as they appeared to have improved their quality control and customer service, but now they seem to have slipped back to where they were in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. It was at this time we switched from Land Rover and enjoyed 10 years of problem and stress free motoring curtesy of Volvo, BMW and Audi. 10 years where we received excellent customer service and never had any problems with our vehicles whatsoever.......

I really think that Land Rover need to up their game!

I bought my AUC RRS from this dealer in the summer and to be fair they were good to me - also bought a Disco 4 from Stratstone Newport a couple of years ago and equally faultless.

Unlike my local dealer Suy Galmon who have now failed to sell me a car on three occasions because of their incompetence.
