I have written to the previous owner and hope for a reply soon. Despite Googling I can't find an email or mobile number for the chap so am having to rely on the post.. |

It looks like it has been stood in 3' of water for a considerable period of time! Could it be one of the recent flood victims perhaps? Foraging near Gaydon....

I've received a short email from the sales chap at the LR dealer - he reports that his sales manager is away for the day and they will contact me tomorrow.

It certainly looks that way, here's hoping you have an outcome that will lower the stress level a little and congrats on the new arrival |

It would be useful to get the previous owner to write to you or email you so you can evidence that officially if needed. As LR say, this is between you and the dealer and written correspondence is the key.

Yes you are correct, I just double checked because I thought they had upped it by now. We heard last year that it was going up to 」15k or even 」20k (」20k was always a pipe dream ). If it's county court or the value exceeds 」10k (which your car does) then what I stated above doesn't apply sadly. http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/wales/law_w/...aims_track

I know that area well having lived there some years ago. Croglin is a small fellside village on the way up to Alston and is subject to much snow in the winter. I assume that the council use a lot of salt to keep the roads open and this may promote corrosion in cars. I am not surprised the previous owner owned land rovers -he will need them in the winter. |

Thanks - I'm storing up sleep now! Oh, and just to confirm - those last two photos are not 'before and after' shots - the clean one is from a comparison car of very similar age and miles. I took a few whilst I was at my local LR dealer getting advice on this matter. Last edited by le bouch on 27th Mar 2014 8:11 am. Edited 1 time in total |

Wow. The dealer has just emailed me - they've offered to exchange the vehicle for a like for like |
