RE: Xenon delays

All models I believe...but only being removed as an option in the UK from Pures...

Could make mine a collectors item. Like a double headed coin. A Pure with a £460 panoramic roof and xenons...

Lets put it this way, if this is true I will go mad. I have a order form placed in March with Xenons for my Pure. I am going to make sure I get my specification against the car I signed and ordered.

RE: Xenon delays

Most Pures must have been specced with xenon's if they are taking such drastic action as removing it as an option...

RE: Xenon delays

I suspect that those who have the unenviable job of trying guess which models and options will be most popular got it seriously wrong with the panoramic roof and the xenons. LR will not be the first maker to have seriously under-estimated the demand for certain options and equipment levels, you don't hear about it from other makers, their showroom staff just tell you that there is a build delay on your car but not why. I realise that comment won't help any of you affected by the shortage, you have my sympathy. I doubt there is little LR can do about it as the light units are possibly made on the other side of the world and increasing production will not be easy as shipping times are also quite long from China or whichever SE Asian country they are made in.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Xenon delays

I have just spoken to my dealer now, he said yes there is a delay with cars with Xenons, not sure how long yet, and Xenons will be removed as a UK option for Pure's with immediate effect, BUT they have spoken to LR and any orders that have already been placed before the memo came out this week will not be effect and will be honoured.

Now Sold: 5dr Pure SD4 Man / Fuji White / Pano Roof / Tech Park / Style 6 Alloys / Privacy Glass / Xenons / Black H'lining / Power Fold Door Mirrors / Power Tailgate / Carpet Mats / Front Fogs.
