Don't see how LR can interviene with accessories etc given they buy them from LR so it is the dealer taking the hit!:

I agree - it was probably just something they say, just thought their position was interesting - I may try again when I collect the car, but as I say, not holding out too much hope - so at least they're managing my expectations I guess!

We got a crappy teddy bear. Free lifetime mot for the vehicle and a land rover experience day.

Oh and some vouchers. hmoney off tyres,service etc

By any measure, my dealer has been completely useless so far, so I don't expect anything at all.

As you deem this Teddy Bear gesture as being unwanted, to put it mildly, may I suggest you hand it into a children's home or into a children's hospital ward as an unfortunate or sick child will be so very appreciative of it...I say this from experience as I organise & host charity events for our local hospitals children's cancer ward & you should see the children's faces light up when they receive an unexpected gift and something like a teddy bear gives them a friend to draw comfort from....

Mate thats fantastic!!!

One step ahead. Already donated to the local one. ThAts great work you do spiderman. Must be very rewarding. I hope I can be doing such wonderful things one day.

Mark_n - who is your dealer?

Your local Cinema will probably provide free tickets for the kids as well, ours do!

All it takes is a little effort to organise and the rewards are ten fold!
