I've only just heard my dealer today confess to the delays and he said they wouldnt be providing courtesy cars as they simply dont have them.

Landrover were very approachable and very helpful , I rang the 0870 5000500 number and a chap called me back, admitted the build was delayed and could be January but wouldnt commit to even that.

I've had it, this was my first LR/RR experience having had a string of Germans and I have decided to look elsewhere.

I have a delivery slot at Stratstone in Cupar for a fully loaded Dynamic SD4 in OG if anyone wants it or I will be cancelling tomorrow.

I needed this for winter so I wll now go and buy something cheap to see us through and probably end up with an M3 or S5 gerrie
toy instead.

First post here, but have been quietly lurking for a while.

I placed my order in June and was given a build date of 25th November in July. Like a lot of others comms have been terrible and I have had to chase for snippets of information.

Anyway, as I am only a few weeks from build date, I called today to confirm all was well - they have refused to commit before. However, I got confirmation that my order was on track and still due to be built 25th. She even gave me my Registration Number and will get back to me with Chassis number as soon as she receives it from factory. I know that this doesn't 100% mean it will get built on that date, but signs are looking promising for now.

I have ordered a 5 Door Dynamic Diesel, with Pano Roof (amongst other things) so wasn't really holding out for a pre-christmas delivery - lets hope it actually happens!

Maybe the factory have actually matched Registration and VIN, but only told dealer Registration? I didn't get to pick from a selection, which has always been the case with any other new car I have bought ..

"No hold ups all on track

As the holidays are getting closer and the factory will close down for two weeks we are giving customers registration numbers and yours will be **61 *** so you are able to arrange for your insurance to be scanned over to me

I will let you no as soon as I have the chassis number"

Fingers crossed.
