I wont be running it outside of warranty not a chance of that!
As long as mine remains as reliable as it has been, I'll drive mine until the wheels fall off....
I will drink to that mine is coming up to the second service at about 40plus K
Now do I Start thinking about a winch
And rock rails, and lights, and 18" wheels and....

I never intended keeping mine outside of the warranty period, It appears that you guy's in the U.S. get a way better experience and product than us in theU.K. ? Customer care and indeed satisfaction is rock bottom over here, My father bought a LADA Niva Cossack in the 80's and got better support than i have with this thing.
For me the last thing i thought i would be doing all winter is running backwards and forwards to the dealer for weeks on end with something that they dont know how to resolve "BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ACCEPT IT IS FAULTY"
The dealer is saying one thing...... the manufacturer just keeps wanting it back so that LR Techncal can asses the situation and the end result is that the vehicle is conducting a higher than normal Re-Generation rate with 25% of this higher than anticipated number failing due to the customers driving style ?
Yet..... JLRP00100 states quite clearly that because of hardware and architecture issues regarding EU6b regulations the vehicle is performing a higher than anticipated number of partial re-gens resulting in Oil Dilution. "IRRESPECTIVE OF THERE BEING NO FUEL IN THE OIL THIS IS WHAT JLR CALL IT"
So they produce a document stating that it has hardware faults 6 Months before i purchase my vehicle, they explain to the dealerships exactly what they must say to the customer by flow charts and boxes, they make NO effort to explain the Oil Dilution problem, the increased ammount of services, software updates, down time etc, special requirements for driving at increased rev's for 30 mins plus and then get you to pay for the inconvenience !

It's like the Blind leading the Blind
i can imagine similar instances to this in the early 1900's when the STANLEY Steam car was being replaced with the then modern internal combustion engine,
You can imagine the conversations that were being held over fuel, oil and driving style.... Fast forward 100 years and it's still a topic of concern to some, I am struggling to imagine trying to hold on to 3,000 rev's for 40 min's, imagine getting into that and and after half an hour you have to stop at traffic lights......
I would imagine in germany it's pretty straightforward, but here with all the roundabouts and traffic lights and congested motorways !
It's gone from not being able drive short journey's to not being able to do mtwy journeys to driving it like a boy racer revving the gonads off it sideways round corners, through red lights and straight over roundabouts in fear of it falling off the re gen cycle. That's gonna hit the real world driving figures hard !
And then having to explain to a Police officer that you cant drive below 3,000 revs or your cant won't work........

sorry can't help laughing at that
did think, perhaps I need to schedule a run on the motorway at 22:00 one night every 2 weeks, then realised the M1 is mostly 50mph cameras, so I will now need to be in second gear and hold it for the 40 mins

RE AdBlu, with a service program its FOC as you will be aware.
If you turn up at set times at our dealer they do it straight away and top screen wash etc.
wife's be a few times says its hassle free and 10 mins plus free coffee etc so she doesnt mind..
(need to check it but from my rough calcs the service program pays for itself easily:
Say 12x fill ups at £25 each thats £300 plus services etc The £725 seems a no brainer)

fair enough we are only 15 mins or so from new monster showroom.
Hate to think how much they spent on it..

just had my dealer confirm they can add additional service related work when I asked the service manager to add all additional work he replied are you sure you want to do this as it is on a public domain ? And also said iF you were to sell the vehicle will you be happy for people to see the history don't think he thought about this before he sent it to me 😂jimbg wrote:
