Getting good on Diesel now too....

Good blast if the average speed is near 70

Full outside lane mode. Hence the surprise of 37mpg!

 

[RMDavis]

Still got this....

Worked great in the snow, even went to work via the fields when the roads were shut.

Haha!

That second to last photo is brilliant!

Isn't your 'product' supposed to be kept on the inside though? :wink:

New marketing strategy, so the punter can see what they're buying.

What great customer service! 😂

 

[Waitey]

Not really updated this.....

Had it a year now.

Its done just over 30000 miles.

I had the nav updated with CarPlay etc last week so it feels fresh.

Long term average MPG = 35.1
Best MPG on a run over 100miles is = 41.1

Its only broke once too!

 

[Ex-User (36231)]

How much has it depreciated?

 

[Waitey]

How much has it depreciated?

All of the money.

Probs £20k.

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, I prefer the Alpina as well.

 

[Greeny.]

30k in year? fairly impressive

 

[Waitey]

It’s slowly going down....

335d = 43k in 12 months
RS3 = 35k in 12 months
Alpina = 33k in 12 months
Rangie = 30k whoop!

What do you do? I assume thats all or mostly business miles?

Work for a Farming company, we have stuff from Aberdeen to Kent....

My commute to the head office and back is 12k a year alone.

 

[Waitey]

Just MOT'd it!

Passed but with three advisories. Two for worn discs and one for a bloody oil leak.

Good job it has 2 weeks of warranty left...

 

[R3k1355]

Do Range Rover know the sort of trouble they're about to be in when you stick it in for the warranty job?

Lol they tried to reem me for £6k on the last warranty job they did...

Little do they know I’m now famous on the warranty intranets....

 

[Krarl]

Waitey does sound a bit like warranty tbf😂

First call to LR was golden.

Mr Waite you are aware that your warranty lapses on the 7th of December 2020?

So I have 7 days warranty left?

Yes that's correct.

Well right now that's all I need, come fix it.

Are you sure its leaking oil, are you qualified to diagnose that?

Well its written on the piece of paper from the MOT station, you could even view it online if you fancied?

A technician will be with you by 2pm...

 

[Matthew]

God, imagine if it needed a new engine?

 

[Krarl]

 

[davo172]

My old MD had 3 gearboxes in his!

 

[Philip.]

How long will you be without it then?

Excited for numerous rentals?

😁

 

[RustyMojo]

So this sounds like the entertainment is sorted until at least Easter or possible Christmas 2021...

 

[Waitey]

There's a angry man in a yellow coat looking at it was we speak.

Said ''It should be a f**king dealer for this''

 

[Waitey]

It was the adblue over flow.

Stupid MOT spastics.

 

[R3k1355]

It'll s**t the gearbox guts allover the M1 later this week.

 

[Matthew]

A RR out of warranty 🙈🙈🙈

 

[KielT]

I thought adblue drys off and leaves like a white frosty residue? Unless the MOT tester is completely stupid I would get a second opinion especially if its not been on ramp with all the trays / covers off.

It does looks nothing like an oil leak very corrosive too

was it done at JLR dealer?

I got into her Evoque at the dealership after our last service pressed the start button and it took about 10 seconds for the car to catch and fire up. Turned it off and tried again and it started fine so I went home. Parked it in the garage and after a few hours I noticed it fookin stunk of diesel.

they'd made a mess of changing the fuel filter 🤷‍♂️

 

[davo172]

I would f**k that off ASAP now warranty expiring it will bankrupt ya !!

I’d filled it up just before the MOT, with the pump we use to fill lorries/tractors, a lot came out of the overflow haha!

A million % this

 

[R3k1355]

Surely there's an extended warranty option?

 

[The Psychedelic Socialist]

Surely there's an extended warranty option?

Yeah but the ABI have his details on their master blacklist, so they'll just refuse to quote.

 

[Matthew]

Waitey won the warranty game, and completed it.

Ain’t no way he’s getting any extended warranty ever again.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I'm more amazed you've had this 3 years @Waitey

 

[Waitey]

Surely there's an extended warranty option?

Yes its £80 a month. Still deciding if I want to.

 

[Waitey]

Same! I've done 6k in it this year. Shame about the 60k I did in it in the first 2 years.

Massively helped the resale no doubt
