chaosego:

It's still that new 2nd row seat part problem. Not the engines, as the 90 engines are identical to 110's and the 90s have been rolled out.
However, LR have set themselves a typically 'British Leyland' deadline of end of June to roll out the 50 'priority' 110s which are all completed and sitting in a compound in Warwirckshire getting wet while they wait for this part.
They want to hurry up and get the problem sorted before i hunt them all down and microwave their pet dogs... :evil:

seb were you ever given a date for the roll out of your nice new shinny one?

No, is the short answer.
We put our name down in November for the 2007 model. They have never issued a date really. The closest they got was "April" and during April, once the date had passd they said they launched it on 16th April.
Ours is built and has been for a good three weeks, but is waiting for that part, and is on the priority list of 50 cars (for what it's worth).
Mrs Seb and I went to our dealership yesterday to see if we wanted someting else instead (D3 or RR) but what we really want is our Defender!
LR have their customers over a barrel. They already have a massive order list and make so few cars in comparison to Ford or the Japanese car manufs that they know if someone pulls out they will sell the car in 5 minutes. As a result they treat their customers (and dealers) like rubbish.
Customer Services have promised some freebies when we eventually get it. I will be pushing for everything! :roll:
