Hi - I'm new to the forum and have had a number of Range Rovers (I've just bought my 9th) and Land Rovers, and my experience is mixed - The cars I love the dealers are useless>
I have had a number of bad experiences with main agents - my LSE went to the Local dealer in Buckinghamshire - big bill - forgot to check tie rods - not good, broke on the way home....
- I put petrol in the diesel the agent in Buckinghamshire nr maidenhead recomended a complete rebuild at £7K (goodbye no claims!)
I then tried Land Rover Battersea when I moved into town - they can give me a service in 3 weeks...
I've just tried my first independent - I thought I was being shrewd using about the biggest around - Nene Overland who took the LSE in for a service at the start of may and have still yet to return it - its now mid September - 50 calls and 20 e-mails later - I got a bill with a number of unauthorised items on it - contacted them - to give them a chance to respond - a month later I am still waiting -
I will be starting Court Action next week to get it back
- The reason for my Rant - I need a good independent that I can relay upon - My new CSK arrives on Monday and will be needing a fair amount of work (don't they always)
I also want to get a 110 NAS Soft Top in the Next couple of months or someone who can turn a td5 or tdci into a nas soft top (definately not nene overland- I might never see it again!) and could really do with some help - someone who is in Dorset ( nr Purbeck would be great - but am happy to travel to get service reliability and a charge of less that £70 per hour )
