Sack the designer
Actually offer customer service/care.
Give a Censored once they have your money
Even try catering for existing customer base not just new demographic.

They actually need levelling a bit, but it’s not at the factory floor that needs to suffer, it’s at the top!

+1. LR only give a Censored about those with cars in their warranty when they cock up, the rest can go hang. Not a good way of keeping costumers loyal. Thumbs Up

On the subject of Jag sales.
When collecting my Discovery this morning, after a disappointing visit.
The sales team were arranging cars on the forecourt, not too sure spinning the wheels and revving them like they were is needed.
Manufacturer and dealer need reality check.

Unlikely unless Tata wants to sell. Which is very unlikely as Tata Group is financially quite strong.

If JLR would have been owned by the Ambani family it would probably have already been split between the brothers Wink

Unfortunately and sadly the above appears to be very true, with a lot of long term Land Rover owners now going elsewhere, with items 2,3, and 4 being the most apparent cause.

So far mine has been ok, but come it’s third birthday not sure if I’ll keep it long term which was the original plan or sadly look at moving away to a different brand.

United Kingdom 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 Graphite LE Auto Fuji WhiteDiscovery 4

Sadly after 6 discoveries my current is likely to be my last LR as well.

The D5 is price prohibitive and there is nothing currently comparable in the LR range that will meet my needs. I need to tow a 2.7 tonne horse trailer so the DIsco Sport won't work for me.

LR do seem to have abandoned a huge market sector

6 frustrating years of issues with dealers/build quality/customer service finished my LR dream Big Cry

People thought I wore rose tinted glasses I bought that many over 16 years but they were excellent vehicles before Tata took over imho and experience Confused

They abandoned LR fans not having a replacement for defender ready and going for prestige pricing yet building tat - a cheaper comfortable utility model would of been popular especially if built properly Rolling Eyes

Maybe they should do what Vauxhall are doing and things might get better Wink
 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!
