How often do you pester your dealer?

When I originally put my deposit down in July 2010 they said I'd definitely be in my new car "within a year". Then early this year I was told it'd be August.

Zermatt Vulgaris - no

Alex - NO not at all, I also own a Defender 90 which is 1996 vintage, runs perfectly and is my offloading toy - bog standard except for a CB radio and a hydraulic winch on the front. I didn't take it on the green lane run last Sunday because it had a poorly prop-shaft UJ and was overdue a timing/cambelt change for which it was booked into the local independent LR specialist on Monday. Just got it back this morning, total job price £178, parts, labour and VAT to replace the cam belt and fix the strange vibe from the propshaft! Labour was £120 for 4 hours work. I'll be retiring in 5 years time and it would be nice to replace the 90 (which will by then be worth even more than it is now - how many 78,000 miles 15 years old very bashed cars do you know that are still worth £6000...............) with something that looks like it will be just as much fun but newer.
