Empty tank from Yeovil Landrover which was disappointing consider the cost and the fact it was new.

Rolling Eyes 1/4 tank from Lookers Chelmsford - Pushed them hard on price so I am sure the paltry diesel amount was to restore some of the profit margin. Did get a nice hamper of Wilkinsons Jams & Chutneys though.... What do I know....I'm only an Essex girl

United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Baltic Blue

I had to pay for a tank full on collection, although the salesman assured me it would have £20 quids worth in it before collection !. I asked for them to fill as it was around the time of the fuel demo in 2008 and most forcourts had run out ! so they filled it but I had to pay £ 78.00. I felt done because if it had already had £20.00 of fuel in it why did it take another £78.00 in 2008 !!
I never understand why when your paying £26k+ they cant just fill it ! does leave a sour taste

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Auto Santorini Black

Not a freelander but a Disco2 brought 2nd hand from Stratstones Dealers in Birmingham.

1/2 tank but only because I asked for it. Wasnt offered and it was the only good thing to come out of the entire deal. Customer service apparently doesnt exist in their dictionary. Big Cry

When I got my HSE in July 2012, the fuel gage was empty but the dealer drove the car around to a petrol station and gave me a full tank. Bow down

Last 2 62 plate cars I collected had full tanks of fuel but they came direct from Land Rover not a Dealer.

YEP, I go along with sentiments here - we picked up two brand new XS's on Saturday and both only had a 1/4 tank in. Gone are the days when you got a full tank! Sad

stratstones are Censored and land rover should remove them as a supplier. When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

I bought a brand new Bedford Rascal van in 1987. That came with a full tank. Mind you, when it was empty you couldn't get a tenners worth in it. Honest!

On a similar subject, I was changing my fuel filter today on my FL so I went to the garage with a 5 litre fuel can to get diesel to pre-fill the filter. I managed to get eight quids worth in there. When I started driving, I could have filled that same can for 20p. I'm not joking, just old! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
