My mother has just bought a new tdv8 sport picked it up from the dealers and brought it to mine. I took it for a spin round the block and when i got back there was coolant pooring all over the drive. Do dealers even bother with a pdi these days? seems not.

That seems to be par for the course with L/Rover, what was the problem ?

the car probably will be reliable- but the dealers are normally totally rubbish

it's not only LR though- i bought a brand spanking MX5 and found that the tyres were infalted to 42psi on opposote corners and 18 on the other diaganol. Handling was........ "interesting". Consdiering it had been driven 200 miles from the dealer i'm not too sure why they didn't pick it up!
