Hi Andy, Not related to thread, sorry, but I've been having a short convalescence break in N Yorkshire, and took the opportunity to go down to Hatfields in Pickering when a brother visited me. I was very shocked to find out that they are using a brand new Velar as loan car, with only 320 miles on the clock. They must be selling really well if they are doing that. Also had the 3.0 Litre top of range Velar model in showroom, but at £90,000 evidently not attracting any customers. If this is repeated countrywide then LR have a lemon on their hands, and what with £5k towards deposit etc. on a new model. Two staff said the biggest problem is that it doesn't fit in the range at all, Sport can be purchased same/cheaper and it's larger, better finished and I won't repeat all other negatives we've all heard already.

Yes Johnski,The salesman said they had a black svr in when I bought my SC,,as for the velar’s,they had 2 in showroom a month ago so it’s probably one of those they are using as the loaner.I didn’t take much notice on spec on them as I don’t like them at all.

Interesting take, and I can't really relate it to facts. JLR are more profitable now than ever before, sell more vehicles, and export a huge percentage of them. Jaguar "profitable" before Tata came along, LOL! And LR were not much better. Virtually given away by Ford as defunct basket cases.

To say JLR are no less reliable than any other brand is clearly not true. There are plenty of brands out there which have very good reliability. Most people I talk to now laugh about the LR/RR brand. They equate them to the old prince of darkness "lucas electrics" of yonder year.

My biggest fear in the purchase of this vehicle was the reliability factor. I am a little luckier than most as I expect small issues as part of ownership of euro vehicles , but I do expect to be able to resolve these. One thing I did not expect was bad design and non functioning issues. As all know the In car NAV and entertainment system leaves a lot to be desired, also the things not included are a joke. My car has to date been no worse than my first V10 Touareg, actually pretty similar they both had turbos replaced. The pulsing front brakes is a pad issue, I have now done the replacement twice , and as it turns out a problem from way back , and well document on the web ,more so a problem where traffic is not stop start .

I was recently at my local Mini forecourt which is part of a larger BMW outlet......... I had to comment to the salesman I was dealing with that I couldn’t believe how many “delivery mileage” pre-registered 3 and 5 series new BMWs cars - with stickers all over them stating that all had huge discounts and none had more than 5 miles on the clock, also you could have any colour of any of the 50 or so new cars on the forecourt, so long as it was white...... no choice of any other colour! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I think what a lot of people forget is just how many LRs are on the road, next time you go out just count how many go the other way compared to other brands so there are bound to be more cars with problems, there are more on the road. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

Would be interesting to get a Poll done on 494 owners. See if there are any high mileage cars. Good to know the engine variants as well. I have 20 months and 30,000 miles on a V8 Diesel. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW. |

Just been speaking to the guy on the fone who bought my14 RRS2 AB that had 12 months warranty left & the crankshaft has snapped & LR are saying because its a common fault they are not covering cost (£18000+VAT),,,anyone considering a 3.0 sdv6 be carefull this doesn't happen to you.

I had a similar case with front lower arms on a 2008 Sport quite a few years back, they covered the backs then the car went in 4 weeks later for the front and they decided they didn't cover the fronts as they know they are common faults. I cant see how they can choose not to cover something as they have had common faults! If they designed and made the parts properly in the first place perhaps they wouldn't fail! I would be fighting to get that crank done under warranty 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR arrived but now rejected!
