Help Me Crush My Range Rover

(1/21) > >>

Hamster:
I own a 2006 Range Rover Vouge Supercharged. Keeps breaking down (3 times in 5 weeks), and now I am in legal battle with the dealer and finance company - I want them to take it back!
I plan on selling sponsorship spaces on vehicle (£10 for 50 words) and raise money to crush it - seriously. This will send a strong message to Land Rover that they should value their customers. Anyone wanting details please let me know!
To date I have over 50 people pledging money (£5k) and a web site will be launched in 2 weeks. I am also preparing a professional media launch and have contacted all major motoring media.
Guys - this is your chance to show the world how crap Land Rover is, by having their flagship 4WD crushed!

Bishops Finger:
Would it be easier to reject it under the sale of goods act?
Sue Land Rover in a small claims court then take the monies to your local Jeep dealership and buy a Commmander
Wouldn't be as much fun I guess :wink:

Not as easy as that..... The dealer has to have been given reasonable opportunity to repair the fault (s).... if its the same fault 3 times then there's an issue but if its differing faults each fault needs fair consideration, also this guy does not say how old it is.... or what the breakdowns are...

3 breakdowns on a car with so many bits / sensors and stuff.... think about it.

it could be 11.5 months old, in which case you can't just reject it, there would be a contribution required from the customer, and seeing what these are valued at in the trade, its not suprising he wants to reject it..... It would be easier to get rid of a dose of the clap than sell it!

I have a customer that's just bought one, to be registered before month end and the discount gained would settle a small 3rd world country's debt!

Apart from all that, 3 breakdowns in what could be 11.5 months..... on a Landrover..... is that not low?

As for telling Landrover about the quality of their product... Do you not think they know.... the people that matter at Landrover have them for company cars.... and have probably broken down more than this guy! you only have to look at threads on here.... people suggesting that Oil Leaks are only OIL LEAKS when there's a puddle when left for a couple of minutes and stuff like "when you need to worry is when it doesnt leak"
or that the only reliable thing about a running landrover is that it will breakdown soon...

Good luck with your case,  but I think your looking for support in the wrong place! the people on here know their cars are unreliable but still love them, want them and strive for newer / different ones!

Try asking for a swap, I would exchange mine for it, trouble is by the time I get there you will have had loads first.

Car broke down 3 times in first 5 weeks I had it - I brought it when it was 4 months old. 2 Main faults being:
1. Gearbox fault - keeps locking in 4th gear and having jerky gear changes
2. Engine fault. Can lost power (could not accelerate). Had 40 miles fuel left on trip computer. Stopped car (rang Land Rover Assist) started car after waiting 45 minutes and drove another 5 miles and problem happened again (now 30 miles showing).

So - £65K I paid for it, is this acceptable?
