After two weeks trouble free motoring in a Renault and a restful though physically tiring holiday with Nathalie Labbé, I returned to Blois. My new range rover started at the first turn of the key and with no error messages! I drove back to Brittany tentatively, and although there were no error messages I noticed two things – the fuel consumption was definitely worse than before the sensors had been changed at the land rover dealers at Orleans, and my new range rover was making a strange mechanical chattering noise from the transmission at a constant speed on the cruise control at 130km on the auto route.
As the first service was nearly due, I decided to wait until then to ask about these two faults. The 18/08 I took my new range rover into the land rover dealers Auto Oceane at Lorient in Brittany. They noted these faults and to do the service, to change a faulty wiper blade and the faulty rear parcel shelf (the trim was coming unstuck), and to reset the rear bumper which had a very uneven gap around it and the bottom of the front wings which were rubbing on the doors.
When I went to collect my new range rover, they had apparently done the service – but had found no faults apart from those recorded in the computer – which had mysteriously stopped of its own accord, apparently (more later)! The rear parcel shelf had been forgotten – the windscreen wiper too and the rear bumper remained offset to the left. The mechanical noise they said they couldn’t test or remedy as the speed limit in Brittany is 110km per hour . . . . . . .
