There are a lot of Rover dealers down in that part of the country.
 
I am not sure if someone owns all of those dealers or if they are owned by different companies. Find the next closest dealer that is not owned by the same person as the dealer you had the problems with.
 
Call them and ask for the Centre manager. Explain your situation that you had serious problems with where you bought your Rover and would like to have it serviced with them instead. Be polite and just explain the situation. Let them know that you have no problem with the vehicle or Land Rover in general but just that particular dealer.
 
A smart centre manager will make sure you are treated with respect and that you get access to loaner cars like anyone else. Keep in mind that for the most part the loaner cars are a first come first serve basis and most Land Rover Dealers do not have enough of them.

RangeRover door lock behavior by rover_usa
May 31, 2006 (7:57 am)

I have a 2006 RR HSE and have recently asked the dealership to configure the vehicle so that the doorlocks engage when the vehicle reaches a certain speed when driving and single-entry access when the remote is used (one click unlocks the drivers door only, two clicks unlocks the other doors).
 
This is the default behavior on a Disco (we also have a 2003 Disco).
 
However, I cannot find anything in the manual for RR that indicates that driver key removeal or engine-off can trigger door unlock. This is another default behavior on the Disco.
 
Is this something that the RR can be configured to do?

I qualified for X Plan and saved $3600 off msrp. perhaps this is why the TMV is not acurate in an exact price point for negitoations. However one dealer wouldnt do a trade to get my color combo , they said they would honor x plan only on dealer stock, so I flew down and bought the one I wanted from another dealer and considered the $3600 money well saved.

Need Range Rover Help in Atlanta by jwil

I recently took ownership of a 2003 RR HSE and within in 4 hours after the purchase the vehicle stop moving and made this horrible grinding noise. I had to be towed to a repair shop because it would not allow me to put it in gear. The dealer is picking up the tab but I am curios to know what this problem is and if anyone has encountered the same thing? Also, I am stumped as to how the cell phone option works. I have searched hi and low to find the cradle of any type or connect but I am clueless. And lastly, the previous owner didn't leave the drivers manual with the vehicle. Besides going back to the dealer..any ideas on where I can purchase a replacement manual? Please don't say ebay, it didn't work!

british,
 
appreciate all your comments & info on this board. wish you worked out here on the west coast - i'd buy one from you.
 
sorry if this is a dumb question, but if i make an offer for a RRS HSE in the 1st week of july, can i expect any movement off msrp? what's a fair offer to make, relative to msrp?
 
thank you.

Honestly I don't know enough about the west coast market to be able to answer that. Over on my side here we only have three RRS HSEs for all of June and come July we are only expecting two more so there are no significant dicounts to be had.
 
New leasing programs will come out the first week of July though and historicaly the leases get a little more agressive as the fourth quarter approaches.
 
If the dealer is a fairly large opperation, just for example we only have 20 or so new cars in stock right now mostly LR3s, and has say more then 12 RRS on the ground make an offer of 2000 grand off and see if it flies.

It has 58000 miles and the dealer has agreed to fix it but they indicated that it was the transfer case. I researched this as well and I asked them to take a look at differential as well.

I have only ever seen one transfer case failure on a Mark III range but I think that was an electronic issue not a mechanicle one. I know people say the front diff failure is very common but I have only seen it on two Range Rovers personaly and both were 2003 MY.
