Well, there is absolutely no need for a running board to step up into the car so I guess this is for those who can only shuffle?

Oyyy!! Cheeky young oiks

You've put me off now as there is little cubby space for the slippers (no pipe) and with the zimmer in the boot there's nowhere for my guide dogs.

On a serious note for a Dealer to show you a car that's falling apart doesn't fill you with confidence does it.

Now must check the diary for young oik hunting season start
4.6is X5 Estoril Blue (current)
4.4 X5 Sport Topaz Blue LPG (now gone squashed by a tree)
Subaru Outback 3.0 Rn Star Silver (current)
AMG 6.3 CLS Obsidian Black (sold)

It was the showroom model too! Told a salesperson and she said "Don't worry, we know it's broken. We're just waiting for a replacement."

Doesn't bode well for obtaining spare parts, eh?

Looked at a Disco Sport in the same showroom after. Couldn't get the tailgate to auto lift - may have been flat battery - but asked for a salesperson to come over. None did... we waited, waited, walked out...

Crikey they really didn't want your money did they !!!
Two broken cars in their showroom ??? You will be better off away from that lot, makes you think about what may be happening in the service bays if the management think that's OK in the showroom.

One of my clients is a lead technician on the F-Pace project at JLR. I texted him while I was there about the broken handle. He was horrified! Can't feed back more directly than that.
