I feel a bit bad for taking your working D4 now!
Have you still got the Landmark to knock about in?

not quite but if they are delinquent on the delivery day & it aint a simple easily fixed thing
..how could it have passed Factory QC scrutiny...?
or
...was it damaged in the delivery process ?

Nightmare Paul. But at least it was spotted before you took delivery.
Hope it works out.
Why did it leave the factory like that though?
Sorry to hear this, it puts a massive dampener on what should have been a joyous event. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE

Oh believe me SWMBO will be in floods of tears when talking to LR!
As we don't know what the fault is it's difficult to determine if it was a factory issue or happened during delivery, regardless it's there & has the Techs at the dealers stumped.
Delivery was due Thu 17th so we are prepared to let things run until next week when we will call a halt to things, as yet no money has changed hands so really we can just walk away, would rather not as the car is fairly highly specced & getting another build slot could be a nightmare. We're just taking things easy with it at the mo, as i've said before it's not the dealers fault, i'm surprised that they aren't on top of it yet but that's life sometimes.
Watch this space.Paul.

Just read your thread that doesn't sound good at all.
Hope things work out OK for you. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧
Cheers Ron. We go away on Sun for two weeks but will be keeping in touch with dealers daily, that said we won't get worried by it all.Paul.
