Please can any shed some light on delivery's

I placed my order mid August for eary delivery and I am being told she wont be here until week 3 in November !!! WHY

Placed my order on 28th June with expectation of a late September delivery. Delivery currently predicted for 5th November. Talking to a Dealer yesterday I was told there was a delay in production (not specified) which may explain why build to order is taking longer than hoped.

There has been engine shortages mentioned on RRS so could be related  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

when i was waiting for my rear diff, they said the delivery from caterpillar was not fulfilled, this could have been just for the spares, but it sounds as if it was production too Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Ordered MY2011 on 15 Sep - original ETA was mid-Nov. Now expecting the car with LPR by next week

According to LPR the LR QA-line is taking longer to adjust to MY2011 differences, so higher-level QA than end of MY2010 line.

Hi, I seemed to have been very lucky. Went to local gargae and they had a GS in Lago grey available. i suspect it was going to be a demonstrator but they sold it to me. The next available was in December. It is standard model with full size spare.
Never had a LR before and am feeling a bit apprehensive about its relaibility but we shall see. Despite its stop/start and the new engine, the fuel consumption still falls way behind what the book says. Also note that the oil level seems to be falling after only 850 miles, which is not something I've experienced in previous cars. Otherwise, it seems fine at the moment.
I'll be pleased to chat to others re their early experiences of the MY11 model.

It's not unusual for any diesels to use a bit of oil when new, I think its been mentioned on here before. Look for any leaks but it is probabley just burning a bit while it beds in. Keep your eye on it and it should improve with a few more miles done.

GSMY11... enjoy the F2 - the Fun Prevention Officer has had one for three years and it has had washer fluid in one end and diesel in the other so hope that yours is as trouble free.

We have just ordered the replacement which should be here in Dec.

As for oil consumption... you want to try my (outgoing) Audi which uses fully synthetic (as in GBP20 per litre...) at an alarming rate, as did a previous A4... looking forward to my D4, due in January!

Good luck with yours!

Since Ta Ta took over they are only building to order and NOT to fill stockyard.

They'll be saying Ta-ta to customers if they carry on with that practice!

My son in law works there as a line manager.

They are certainly trying to reduce the stock and build to order, however there is still stockl out there at the right dealers.

We have 6 available for Nov and 5 for Dec, however we are a large dealer so may have more than average.

Kahn i don't think that is too bad i placed my order 1st week in july and i have just had the call from the dealer to say that it is ready to leave the factory

I ordered mine at the beginning of September and picked it up on the 30th of September. Andyfr
