Yet More Delays

RE: Yet More Delays

I called my dealer yesterday and a new reason came out. All cars with manual gearbox are delayed. They can't get them into the March production eventhough original schedule was January. During the February a lot of ED cars are produced. Even later ED orders than my SD4, early October 2011, are allocated to February. Most likely I will stay in the very famous pool. It looks to be a lottery to get your car done.

In Finland the car tax will change on the 1st of April. If the car is registred after that, it means more than 1k€
extra for my spec of a car. Early March production can save me from that, but more likely I will get the car somewhere late May (April production).

Driving - 5dr Pure SD4 Manual
Santorini black, Almond/espresso, Panoramic roof, 4 x packs, rails etc

RE: Yet More Delays

That last post sounds ominous. I have a build/delivery date for a manual car after bloody ages waiting. If it gets delayed again i think my head will explode.

RE: Yet More Delays

Again, thanks for the replies, I currently have a Disco 3 but wanted to holiday in the new car! don't think I will contact Nick on the forum, emailed before with no reply.
All the talk about £150 from LR, as far as I am concerned this is an insult.(Sorry for the delay that will be £39,850 instead of £40,000 please:twistedSmile Landrover need to go way further than that.
Customer services did ring back late on, lots of apologies and hints of possible sweetners, but nothing definate.
All I want is my car.

RE: Yet More Delays

Totally agree. I ordered my car March 2011, and it went into build today. It is a manual SD4. What has got me mad is the number of people who have come onto the forum ordering a car Aug/Sept taken delivery and now come up with some pathetic execuse for now selling them.

Now Sold: 5dr Pure SD4 Man / Fuji White / Pano Roof / Tech Park / Style 6 Alloys / Privacy Glass / Xenons / Black H'lining / Power Fold Door Mirrors / Power Tailgate / Carpet Mats / Front Fogs.

RE: Yet More Delays

Just in case you are wondering I also placed my order in June
Sorry posts are catching me out, no mention of any specific problems, just build dates seem to be slipping back again.

Yet More Delays

Although I completely agree with people's frustrations regarding delays with their orders, i think it is bit harsh calling people who were lucky enough to get theirs early.

As discussed during many posts on this forum, we have absolutely no control over when our cars are built so all issues with delays are down to LR not the buyers!

Waiting for: - 2015 SD4 Dynamic, LUX pack, Auto, 5 door. Mauritius Blue. Santorini Roof........spare wheel.
