You're prepared to lose £25K, but the car's worth £63K as I understand it, or it would be if it wasn't broken.

In that case, put it up for sale for £50K, freely acknowledging the problems, and somebody who doesn't mind fixing it will probably buy it quite cheerfully.  In fact I could name 2 or 3 independent dealers who would probably be quite happy to take it off your hands, stick it in the workshop for a few hours and sell it on at a big profit.

Then you've only lost £13K instead of £25K.  Seems like a good deal to me.  Feel free to cut me in for 20% of the money you save.  Is it really worth £12K to have the publicity of crushing it?

Option B is, I can give you the name of a garage who will almost certainly be able to fix the problems;  even if it costs you a couple of grand, you'll be well in pocket.

Hamster:
Some excellent advice. Need to make it clear this is more about sending a message to Land Rover / Westover / Lombard - not about best financial option for me. I want to send a message of 'treat your customers properly' (no matter if the spend £3K of £70K!)

Cal:
I totally get that you want to send a message to LR, but surely the best option for you is to get it fixed up under warranty, keep a record of how you've been treated and go to Watchdog etc - then you get yout RR fixed (and can then get rid and get a non-Friday arvo motor) and you get the publicity you want this to have.

I also reckon from what I've read, at this stage you should be more p*ssed off with the dealer than LR themselves, but apologies if I'm not understanding all the interaction you've had so far.

Don't crush it - just get it fixed - and raise hell about the lack of service you're getting from the dealers - put them out of business, not LR.

Hamster:
The issue is Land Rover actually were the ones who wrote me a letter saying they would not take the vehicle back. Initially the dealer was supportive and asked LR for assistance to help me get out of a difficult situation. Once LR officially said no it went downhill fast - and all goodwill was lost.
