RE: Just had the call !

The Pirellis definitely run quieter than the Craptinentals, I changed my Craptinentals for Pirelli Scoorpion Ice and Snow 19's on Tuesday and immediately noticed how much less tyre noise there is on the Pirellis.

The way the rear bumper was re-assembled is shocking, that should never have been let out of the service bay at the dealership. Can you name them?

why is that cut so big? It could be half the size it is. Bumper fit is appalling. If the garage won't sort then i would speak to LR customer services

If my car bumper came back looking like that, I'd be having a few choice words with the dealer. They charge premium prices, they should step up and give a premium service.

Thanks for the response folks

I dont think it will do any harm, The supplying dealer was Stratstone Cheltenham and I haven't heard a peep since I had the call to say the car was being delivered. I heard the delivery driver talking to the service manager and I heard them say I would get a call either later yesterday or early this morning.

I could fix it myself but I don't feel i should have to,

Love the car though, at least it is only a piece of trim. I think they will ask me to go to another Stratstone dealer, fingers crossed.

One of the happy owners, ordered June 2011, delivered Wednesday 8th February 2012, now 97000 miles. Scorpions lasted 78'000 miles.

RE: Just had the call !

If you still have not had the cal from the supplying dealer I would give them a phone and see what they intend to do for you. If they are a long way from you then tell them that you will be taking your car to another Stratstones and instructing them that they have to invoice the repair to Cheltemham. A re-assembly like that is not a good advert for Land Rover, let alone Stratstones, as people will look at your new car and think "LR still cannot put a car together properly" which is not true these days.
