    Approved Used Land Rover - 'Almost New'

    Update: Land Rover Truro initially agreed to cover the costs of tyres, rear bumper insert replacement, and arch liners by requesting a quote from Inchcape Land Rover. However, upon receipt of the quote, they committed to covering only one tyre, the bumper insert, and arch liners (due to the...

    Approved Used Land Rover - 'Almost New'

    Taken from a website: Why does this matter for tyre replacement? Okay, so imagine wearing a new shoe on your left foot and a heavily worn shoe on your right foot. Not only would the right shoe lack grip and support, but over time, it could cause injury to your leg, foot or ankle. It’s a...

    Approved Used Land Rover - 'Almost New'

    I agree to both points above. But, a 2Tonne car with one new tyre and one part worn, cracked tyre is asking for poor stability and other issues in terms of its drive. If they are replacing one of the fronts, I'd expect them to change the other. Bearing in mind these issues aren't things that...

    Approved Used Land Rover - 'Almost New'

    They are replacing one tyre and the liners (as a gesture of good will). My concern is there will be one tyre with 8-9mm tread and another which is cracked with ~5mm tread. With the two rears, cracked and worn showing ~3mm of depth. For a car which has been in her possession for 3 months and was...

    Approved Used Land Rover - 'Almost New'

    So, the vehicle was purchased (£4,000 deposit remainder on PCP finance - total cost £29,000) from Vertu Land Rover, Truro. It was advertised as an approved used vehicle, which stipulates it undergoes a 165-point check and is 'almost new'. When my daughter took delivery of the car, it seemed...

    Approved Used Land Rover - 'Almost New'

    She's had a reply from the garage: #################################################################################### The rear tyres are fine at 3mm, the slight cracking isn’t an issue, I wouldn’t be recommending these to be replaced based on that alone. The OSF tyre is at 5mm according...

    Approved Used Land Rover - 'Almost New'

    The AA came out to check her car to diagnose it before deciding what to do. AA fed back to my daughter and the garage. They then arranged her courtesy car.

    Approved Used Land Rover - 'Almost New'

    Evening folks, I'm seeking advice and possibly some support regarding a troubling experience my daughter has had with an approved used Land Rover Discovery Sport purchased from a Land Rover garage. Here's a rundown of what happened: My daughter purchased a 2019 Discovery Sport from an LR...

    Stewart Milne goes into Administration

    My mind is made up about the development. We are cutting our losses and won't be proceeding. We have seen another property at a different developer (Storey Homes), but it isn't ready until June. Our buyers are pushing for us to move into rented. If we were to do so, could we pause our mortgage...

    Stewart Milne goes into Administration

    This is the issue, we've had a look at it today and the snags I can see are as long as my arm. Not to mention no further information or insight as to who will rectify them (if anyone at all).

    Stewart Milne goes into Administration

    We've made contact with them but it's like drawing blood from a stone. The houses either side of the one we were purchasing aren't finished and are still building sites. There is no guarantee when they will be completed and even if they are, no further information regarding snags. The houses are...

    Stewart Milne goes into Administration

    Hi guys, We were in the process of selling our house and purchasing a property from the developer, Stewart Milne. We learnt late last week that they had called in the administrators and as a result, the sale has been halted. We were two weeks off exchange and completion. We are currently...

    Mortgage Question

    We can port our current mortgage/product. But, the idea was to sell and free up some cash to allow us to build a small portfolio of properties. However, we want to be able to do this at the existing rate of 2.07%.

    Mortgage Question

    Hi all, Just a quick one. I will speak to a qualified FA tomorrow, but we are in a predicament and wanted to know our options this evening. We recently listed our property and have had an offer that we deem acceptable. We have found a property we like, but it is £70k cheaper than we are...

    Arnold Clark - PCP (returning vehicle?)

    It's matt paintwork; we identified before purchasing that it had been buffed on one side, thus removing the matt finish and making it metallic/shiny. They said this would be fixed at a body shop. When collecting it was raining, and we were assured it was done. The next day, when it was dry, it...

    Arnold Clark - PCP (returning vehicle?)

    They've refused to replace them, saying its wear and tear and the paintwork is still a mess.

    Arnold Clark - PCP (returning vehicle?)

    Update: They refused to take the car back when the brakes were still squeaking, even though it went in for this to be sorted previously and came back in a worse state. Also, this fault was identified within the first two days of us collecting the car. They said they would have to check if the...
