bloke came to fix bumper scratch today and checked for paint code in boot toolkit. I bought the car in March, it was one year old, never even checked it, guy salmon gatwick, and the toolkit contains just a wheelnut and a screwdriver.

Embarassing I've been back to the dealer so many times on this car. I called and mailed him a photo. We will see what he says tomorrow. I mean to pay £43k for a 16k miles one year old RRS is bad enough but to have no toolkit is a poor joke.

Anyone else had similar ?

Oh yeah, and the brakes are rusty too on the 19's - not exactly brembo.

Totally p155'd off - should have bought the Q7. Love the RRS and now committed to a new one every couple of years as plums deep in a finance deal. want TDV8 next.

i have had the same problem ive had my car 2 months its a o6 model no tool kit dealer said they dont come with one i love the look of the car but the build quality is and the after sales does not exsist been to several different dealers they are all rubbish.......................think i will be going back to the experts MERCEDES 07 TDV6 HSE, JAVA BLACK,SIDE STEPS,DYNAMIC PACK,CHROME MIRRORS,CHROME BEZELS,COLOUR CODED GRILL & VENTS,TINTS,BREMBO,22"MATT BLACK ONYK.........AWSOME. ALSO SL55 AMG ..

not always - friends E55 AMG has been back to the stealers many times in the last 12 months - brake failure, electric mirrors failing, discs warping etc etc

appreciate you've had probs, but ALL manufacturers have problems. My Touareg caused me no end of probs, although I still rate them highly.

also, I dont mean to sound rude here, but how do you get so ed off with a car just because the tool kit is missing?

We have 4 motors LR, BMW, AMG and Vauxhall van all as bad as each other at times of service cars are all bang on RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

I love boobies i love boobies i love boobies cuz i'm a big kid now! (Come on everybody sing with me you know the words!)

The RRS doesn't come with a toolkit. All you get is a scissor jack, a wheel brace bar, a couple of wheel chocks, a screwdriver and a locking wheelnut tool if your vehicle has locking wheel nuts.














And you wont find the paint colour code in there either. The paint colour code is on the slam panel vin label. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

look. all the holes in the boot have NOTHING in them apart from a wheelnut and a screwdriver.

if you read the thread i wasn't looking for the paint code, my paint guy was. eventually we found it so thanks for your help.

there have been many problems with the car on the approved used scheme. I would be devastated if i had bought one from new as, although they are bizarrely great off road (god knows how) the build quality is not up to german standards it HAS to be said. One of the few cars worth having which are made in the UK now though so one has to look at the positive aspect. It's also a dream to drive on the motorway.

Mate....

Some of us have been listening to people's RRS problems on this forum for 2 years and we've learnt to accept that there is the odd problem or too but most are not insurmountable. In fairness, I don't really think there are any more problems with a car from Land Rover than there would be from any German manufacturer. Because we are a forum of RRS owners we'll tend to only hear the bad things.... check out any other marque forum and you can also take your pick of problems.

Who's to say if you dumped your RRS to buy a Q7 that wouldn't also have problems?

Also no need to have a go at TB, he knows more about the way that the RRS is built than the rest of us put together and has helped out many members on here with problems they might have.

Thanks Cliff, I feel all embarrassed now.
