Any official technician from Land Rover here?

Hello,

Is there any proper technician writing on this forum? I need some help to troubleshoot few problems. I live in Thailand and I don't have any warranty from land rover since I have imported my car and didn't buy it fr land rover here...

To buy a Land Rover without a warranty seems like madness...

Why don't you run the issues by us anyway, maybe we could help with one or two?

Thanks for reply. I have tried already but I would need to talk with someone who repair evoque. Most of the users here simply goes to the dealer to fix things.

Anyway I have my tailgate not aligned and trying to figure it out how to fix it. I have downloaded from topix something about that and tomorrow we will try to fix it, but I am not sure if I need to purchase some defective parts or it is just a matter of adjusting what I already have...

Bad smell coming from recirculating system when on Auto. It seems now that LR is investigating this, i saw an on going investigation on topix about that.

Noisy steering wheel, or arm links, we have tried to fix it without success. We tried to lubricate all the bushes, tighten up all the bolts, but nothing, still having the problem.

Next time I will probably buy a Porsche :)

Surely you could take the car to a Land River dealer in Thailand and pay them to do the jobs properly?

It is not that simple. They don't want. I contacted the land rover customer care and ask to help me. They say they will try to contact the Thailand Land Rover and they let me know. But as far as I know they shouldn't accept my car... We will see...

So they don't want all the servicing and repair profits just because you chose to import the car............ That's really clever commercial thinking! Was it significantly cheaper to import the car or was the spec you wanted not available in Thailand?

I'm sure the dealers make quite good money billing Land Rover for the time they take to rectify warranty issues. I'm sure its not the £150+ per hour we pay for servicing but must be profitable.

Yes I have saved more than 10,000 euro buying a import car instead buying from the official Thailand dealer. The problem here seems to be that there is only one official dealer in all Thailand, so they probably are too busy with their cars, accepting also other cars will be hard. Anyway, after complaining about this with the customer care headquarter in UK, I managed to have them call Thailand and talked about my case, long story short, Thailand land rover called me and I have an appointment for next Tuesday. I will go and see what it will be the cost of having my car serviced by them...

Great result, hope it all works out for you.
