Do also check the bodywork. Very obvious but I know someone who bought an '09 Disco off an official LandRover garage only to find the car was badly scratched and damaged.

It can be bought from the dealer or some motor factors stock it. VW charge £1.50/litre inc fitting. LR include it in their service schedule.

The big Disco has the AdBlue filler next to the fuel filler in a separate tank. The DS I think has its filler under the bonnet.

Well,I don't think this is going to happen now, went to dealers and tyres weren't quite as good as I remembered, apparently they won't replace unless under 3mm These were really close to it!! But they would not offer anything towards cost so have walked away, not good when spending 22k

Last time I bought an approved used the dealer said that it was supposed to have at least 4mm on tyres. I wonder if there is a spec somewhere? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Andy,
have you looked on Grange Land Rover here in Wootton Bassett? not really that far from you, or Ottons at Old Sarum, Salisbury? MY14 TD4 manual XS Orkney grey.

MY11 TD4 Manual XS Lago Grey, privacy glass, rear spoiler, full ebony leather,rear seat entertainment. Gone
2001/51 plate Disco TD5 GS. Gone
95 N Disco TDi300. Gone

Update
Dealers rang me at ten to six, I guess leaving it to see if I would go back, they have given £300 towards tyres and some other bits and pieces ,
So deal is done , collect at end of month😀
Andy

Result
£300 will go a long way towards tyres, shop around and there are some good deals ...

Pleased to get it sorted, car has full size spare that's unused so will just get three more to match as and when, they re also going to tax it , tank of fuel, and sort couple of minor things we had been arguing about.
Am waiting till end of month to get full twelve months tax , instead of collecting it next weekend, also will get money back on my present car tax 😃

My brother usually buys a new car every 3 years, (it's Honda Civic but otherwise he's a nice guy) this time he decided to keep it as he has only done 11k miles (!) So last week he had a call from the dealer asking him to come in to see the new model. They offered a good trade in plus £2k off the new one plus servicing deal etc etc.
He suddenly had a thought as to why they had called him and it twigged that they probably had already sold his car. He put it to the salesman who went a bit sheepish so he said that unless he got an extra £1k off he would walk away. Salesman goes to his boss and at the end he got an extra £850 off plus a few extras! 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Quick question regarding online service history, anyone know when this started my new(to me) car was registered September 13
Queried with supplying dealer that there's no service history in all the bumpf I got with it, I thought it was online and they could send me a printout, had email today saying my car is too soon for this, but I have online service history booklet and no other normal stamped service book.
As you can imagine dealer will be getting a call Monday morning. Any info gratefully received
Andy

They should have access to computer records (assuming it is a Land Rover main dealer). The records include servicing, recalls and software updates.

Yep Land Rover approved used car , so will definately chase them up

My dealer told me that before a certain registration date (I can't recall when) the service records are only held locally by the dealers.
I am always sceptical of dealer records unless I have copies of invoices too. I once bought a Ford Capri from a Ford dealer and there was no service record book. The dealer said that they would find it and send it on to me, which they did. However I subsequently found the original under one of the seats and it was clear that they had just made up some dates and service stamps for the warranty as the two didn't match at all. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
