Hi Razmabaz,

I wasn't sure what the forum rules were for naming a company. Suffice to say I am dealing with the LR main dealer for Cambridge.

Bless you my son

Cambridge eh! Who can that be then?

They sell lots of brands - including Citroen

Marshalls of Cambridge called today. £1500 betterment payment to order new LR2 for September delivery of which LR and Marshalls will contribute £750.00 towards.

I must confess to having mixed feelings about all this. Once i'v sorted them out i'll post em and share......

There are a few in the pipeline that are similar spec to mine that I can have almost straight away or I can order new and have it for September. Marshalls will let me keep my brand new XS auto loaner until my new one is ready

As it is, I guess that Marshalls have done all they can (outstanding with keeping me in a vehicle) and I will have to hope that I don't get another dodgy one. I'll probably look back in another years time and think that £750.00 for nearly a years motoring is not such a bad thing after all

Thanks to everyone that offered advice

Having been here I don't think you will do better than this. A court will look at this offer and decide whether it is reasonable. If they decide it is they will probably slap some court costs on you for not accepting it out of court. Don't confuse justice with the law, particularly civil law. Alternatively, ask for all your money back and buy another brand. This forum does highlight peoples problems and we all learn from them, but the vast majority of us are happy with our cars because most FL2s work well - mine does - so good luck in making your decision.

I would say go for it.... just my opinion!

I'm sure they'll make sure you get a good one...  2002 Honda VFR800
2002 Toyota Celica 140 Silver (mid life crisis - again!)
2007 FL2 GS Manual Army Reconnaissance Green + freel2.com sticker
2004 Toyota Celica 140 Black - Gone
2000 Toyota Celica 140 Silver - Gone
1998 Toyota Celica ST Pearl Green - Gone
1996 Nissan Primera 1.6 - Gone
1994 Rover Montego 1.6 Auto - Gone

An excellent and accurate observation.

-o0o-
If you like FL2 motoring (other than the existing problem) then Bananaman I'd bite my lip, swallow my pride, put it down to one of life's less enjoyable experiences and take the 750 solution without further delay. But, do put your acceptance in writing confirming all other "obligations and provisos" of all the parties pertaining to the resupply agreement. And keep a copy of all correspondence regarding this matter for future reference

I'd go for it if offered that. Make sure you got the warranty for the new one, not the old one.

They did state that the new one will come taxed and on the road. Good point about the warranty, I will bring that up tomorrow when I go in to finalize the arrangements.

Cheers Guys
