All the above, plus a calm head and a constructive argument. Good luck. Also think about in advance what your minimum offer would be in case swapping the car isn't an option. Preparation is key to winning.

No luck today as they want to try and fix it, but after the last attempt that made the car worse by damaging other panels and trim i dont really want to let them.
So Stale mate, as they reckon they wont accept the car, its landrovers job

Give a list to the DP and be very specific. Tell him personally to deal with the issues. Hope it all goes well for you. Fingers crossed and good luck.

I hope then yours isn't an SD4/TD4/eD4............................... you will have bigger problems than just some scratches if they take you at your word...............
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: Dont buy from >>>
I have to say I had similar frustrations when my car was delivered, previous posts back in feb.
With my clever other half we prepared a polite list of faults in writing to the dealer principal.
He was very very good, called me immediately after he received the letter and asked me how I wanted to get the faults rectified.
We agreed a plan, they collected my car dropped me off a loaner,(unfortunately was a brand new focus, but still a car to keep me going)
Did all of the moans and delivered the car back two days later fully valeted. It has to be the DP though, as sales unfortunately with the demand they are seeing for evoque won't really take it seriously.
To finish after a couple of weeks after the car was returned my good feeling came back and now after nearly 15000 miles I love it and nothing else has fallen off or brocken.
Try and persevere as other manufacturers have similar issues too, it's the way the world is now unfortunately and I fall into the grump old man syndrome. We need some of the German 90, s build quality to come back, but I fear that has gone forever as shareholders these days have more say in the profits.
Best of luck, be polite but firm, remember the dealers get bonuses for customer satisfaction results, remember jd power.
One of the happy owners, ordered June 2011, delivered Wednesday 8th February 2012, now 97000 miles. Scorpions lasted 78'000 miles.
Pure TD4 5 door, fuji white, ebony interior, Pan roof, Front fogs, spare wheel, privacy glass, towbar and black roofrails.
