    2018 Discovery Si6 HSE Lux Santorini Black

    Thanks guys, I would have regretted it if I had gone for anything less, I know I would have, plus it's been a rollercoaster ride too say the least.

    LR head office need too sort out there nonsense and stop trying too blame the dealer for all their mistakes, and sort there online builder for a start as it's inaccurate too say the least!!!

    A year plus waiting (13 months by time I get the car), 2 cancelled orders and deposits and so many emails that I could publish a Paperback from, off "HOW LR Censored ME OFF" not too mention wasting my precious time spending hours every evening writing emails and ranting on here like a rabid dog 😞

    The car just seemed too take over my life recently,
    all this stress just for a tin box on wheels Shocked

    Anyhow like I said a big thumbs up too everyone who has supported me, and I hope I have made alot of new friends also. (YOUR ON MY CHISTMAS CARD LIST GUYS). Plus the minefield of info on here is incredible. I assumed I knew alot about LR but some of you guys are putting me too shame, not too mention the friendlyness compared too the dark side Laughing

    Anyway it's now all calm after the storm so here's hoping I dont end up with a 🍋.

    Roll on next week Woo-Hoo. Hopefully my wife will have forgiven me once she gets her hands on it that's the main thing. Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Thumbs Up

    Hope yours is running sweet as a nut 😀
    I take it your doing a night shift tonight?? Thumbs Up


    Was called in at 8 so thought I'd have a browse to wind down. Glad to hear the news though, mine is going really well when I get into it. We're done about 800 miles so far.

    When I'm not in the operating theatre, I'm mountain biking, spending time with my family, running and socialising. I have a Discovery 5 HSE Lux with pretty much every option ticked. This is my first ever Land Rover. Been a rocky road with regards to reliability but we're getting there.

    Thanks Andrew I know you were pulling my leg mate. Laughing

    Any more photos, as dying too see your painted bits.

    Am so tempted too get mine done too now. Just a pity the First Editions never had the dynamic pack as standard as would have deffo finished the car off Rolling Eyes

    Excellent stuff, glad your not experiencing any problems Doc. Some of the guys here are just having minor niggles apart from the odd few with a bit more serious ones. Pity as all these issues should have been ironed out long before the cars hit the road, but i suppose it's the price we pay for all the fancy technology nowadays. A blown transistor or a diode in a circuitboard can completely disable a car, rendering it useless as we all well know. Bring back wind down windows and manual door locking Rolling with laughter

    Well that's the reg plate chosen. Luckily both mine and wifes initials are on it. Will put on the personal plates when the 67 plates out in September. Have asked for photos so hopefully put them up once dealer gets a chance too take some. I can't believe how quickly things have progressed within the last 24 hours. I still think am dreaming waiting too wake up into the dreaded nightmare Laughing

    Amazing the affect having a dealer loan car has on speeding up a resolution isn't it !

    I was in today and a couple of transporters were unloading, no First Editions on them though Sad

    Yes I agree 👍

    It's still in transit apparently, so they are doing the essential paperwork before the VED kicks in on the 1st.

    Did you pick up your car today or is it tomorrow? Thumbs Up
