My brand new MY19 RRS HSE was delivered at lunchtime and it looks awesome in Santorini Black. I’m wishing I’d studied computing though, as the menu settings and apps are not terribly intuitive! Still, I notice I don’t have micro-SIM in the car so can’t connect to web, set up WiFi hotspot etc but I thought I’d read somewhere that a 500mb card was included from Land Rover. Am I imagining things or should I speak to to the dealer? I already need to pop in and get another key ring - they only have me one for two keys, the cheapskates....

Taggart’s Glasgow North by any chance? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Yes SIM card is included in MY19.

Mine followed in the post about a week after delivery in September, there was allegedly a shortage!

Used half the first months 500mb just setting the thing up, never used it since, waste of time where I live as there is little reception. 2018 MY19 HSE Dynamic, Santorini, Ebony/Ivory, Sliding pano, Adaptive cruise, Black wheels. Arrived 3rd September 2018

How did you guess....? Yup, off to a less than stellar start, although perhaps slightly forgiven by the fact it’s a private leased car via Lookers but still....

0310 - Thanks. I’ll add it to my list of things to talk to the dealer about...,

HM - Check everything through, its very difficult to check all at handover.

Apart from the SIM card they had not loaded the maps into the sat nav, filled the Adblue tank or put enough air in the back tyres. Apart from that the dealer has been very good and the car is fantastic.

Is this a brand new car?

Taggart’s is owned by Lookers, and they also own all the outlets of what used to be Lomond Audi Audi dealers in Scotland now too. I have avoided Taggart’s LR since they told me that I didn’t want to buy an RRS P400E as it wasn’t aimed at private buyers, just business users............. so I have ended up in a Mini Countryman PHEV instead after almost 30 years of buying new Land Rover products and a couple of used ones too........ 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

How can a dealership supply a brand new car, regardless of cost, without adblu, maps for the satellite navigation system and low tyre pressures?

It’s hearing stories like this on a very regular basis that is putting me off buying another Land Rover product.....

It doesn’t just happen at JLR dealers - my sister’s new Honda Jazz was handed over with no fluid in the screen washer bottle and the PDI checklist had been left in the car showing it had been checked and initialed by the person doing the PDI........the car should not have even been handed over with the checklist left in it so even the last minute check over of the car by the salesman doing the hand over hand’t been carried out. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
