Cheers everyone, a bit of an update:
Solicitors contacted me yesterday - the Dealer abd Finance Company are now accepting the 1000 mile independent test - so this is good!
On the flip side it is tough getting the vehicle history - they just wont provide it (other than the one they sent me by mistake (where it broke down form 'engine and transmission failure' about two weeks after the first owner purchased it. It would be good to get this history, but hey you can't win them all!
Got to be happy that the vehicle is going to be assessed by an independent and their decision is binding! Might be light at the end of the tunnel yet!!!!
Sooty:
Thank goodness you have decided not to crush it, that was breaking my heart.
On a serious note have you asked your solicitor to request the service history, they may think they can bull s**t you by saying the data protection act won't let them tell you (which is B/S as you are not asking for the identity of the owners just the history of the car) but they may respond differently to a solicitors request.
Worth a try.
Evilgoat:
I can apreciate the frustration here BUT
LR dealers and LR are NOT the same thing. And given how many of these get borked on the factory floor, crash tests, shipping damage etc and the fact yours is paid for it will make NO difference.
I know there are issues with the newer RRs and Disco 3's and Thrasher will testify to this, but you crushing yours would make no difference to my buying one (if I could) at all. I know somoene who had a Disco V8 second hand (2nd owner) and after a year of arguing with the dealr and LR the whole thing went bang and died spectacularly. No money back, cost of car lost etc.
And they now drive a brand new RRS. You are up against brand loyalty and you wont win.
Get the car sorted, get the money back/flog it and buy something else. And I think you'll get a surprise when that goes the same way too.

I am trying really really hard to be on your side but something is puzzling me
I have just read through the thread you have posted on LRUK site and it appears that the RR has been fixed, and has been for some time ?
Why on earth are you paying £1000 plus/month in repayments and spent £10,000 to date in legal fees for a motor that has been fixed ? :?
I wonder if it more to do with the fact you have found out it has had previous other faults, which I presume were fixed under warranty by previous owner (who seems to be happy with land rover/dealer service given to him judging by the fact he is hardly falling over himself to help you (unless he has been given hush money :wink: ) ), and you are peeved having forked out £65k - buyer's remorse even ?.
If it is indeed a matter of principle you should be commended (or commited to the nearest loony bin ) - sell the damn thing - it's fixed in land rover's eyes - you have spent enough of your time and money on this
I am disapointed to see you trying to get forum members on that site to write letters to the CEO of land rover complaining of poor customer service - it's your fight - you sort it out either way
I wish you well whatever you choose to do but this is my last comment on the matter :- GET A GRIP - LIFE'S TOO SHORT !!!!!!
