Apparantly this is due to a "component problem" - anyone heard of this?
My dealer tells me that I can only proceed if I change my order to the 5-door...
Any thoughts?

Did you ever find out why your dealer told you this?

Never did. I've never met anyone so obstructive and unhelpful. It's as if he couldn't be bothered with me spending £43-45k, when there are others spending >£70k on RRS and FFRR. Now I'd think twice before dealing with LR again. Anyway, I eventually cancelled my order and now have a white Q5 3.0 tdi S Line Special Edition on the way!

Crappy dealers is one of the biggest issues with great cars.

I had got so fed-up with my dealer not replying to emails, returning calls etc. (and telling my delivery was in Sept when it was actually in Oct) I called the other day and asked to start dealing with someone else. I'm now with a guy who couldn't be more helpful.

That's very strange behavior from the previous sales person as they are most likely to be compensated by sales commission.
