Order Freebies
I’m bored waiting for my car to be built.
What’s the story on freebies when ordering. I recall reading of valve caps and leather bound books - are these normal or unusual and not to be expected?
Also, when I was looking at the RRS last year, i remember that you got a free LR experience day. Is that still the case for the Disco?
I could bug my dealer, but trying to give him a break

I got what seemed a good deal at the time (haggling was back in Feb, hence the boredom!). Managed 11% which has morphed into 13% and better APR due to deal delays, plus a rubber boot liner. Service pack is/was unavailable, didn’t think about the other stuff but when pick up day comes my wife won’t leave the showroom without a teddy bear for our toddler
Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
I might look into a haggle on extended warranty between now and pick up day - there’s got to be a point where there is something in it for me and them.

Thanks all. Having never done any off-roaring, the experience half-day appeals to me. Good to know it still exists.
I read the same about the valve caps sticking. For me it would just be nice for ‘something’ to drop through the door as that sounds like a nice touch that I haven’t seen before with other brands.
What I really want is for Johnny Slovak to get his spanners out and build my car

Bit of vaseline or copper grease on the valve should do the trick.
All mine had to be dremilled off as were stuck solid, on my last car, even pliers and mole grips would not budge them.
Car went in for a service and indicated on the service sheet that all 4 tyres were checked for pressure, which was impossible as were stuck solid.
Needless to say the garage lost my business after that as I had words with the service manager, and asked how can I trust you even did a full service on the car?
Was adamant that they were checked, but when I asked for the mechanic to show me, he could not take them off, leaving him with a red face.
Said I must have been driving too fast and the heat had welded them on. Absolute cobblers.
Plus the dash cam review showed them cursing as can clearly hear them saying they are stuck.
Should have just wrote down on the paperwork that valve caps could not be removed instead of telling blatant lies.
I just stuck the ones I got on the new trailer instead, along with a drop of grease

If you push them hard enough you may get a tin of shortbread and a keyring

The shortbread must be a Scottish thing.
(I actually got 2 boxes and 2 key rings)
No tightfisted jokes now

Got mine in Manchester, no Shortbread, but a couple of key rings and a full tank of fuel. I watched as they filled it, it was £90 plus. -
