Wait... did you ask on beyond first and still buy one despite the warnings?or did you buy it first then ask on beyond lol...I know the feeling, I bought a 2006 Mini Cooper S a couple months ago, only 72000 km, and I find out tomorrow why 4th gear is dying and how much it's going to cost to fix
I’m betting that the shops didn’t do anything to fuck up the car/battery/starter. On any older vehicle, let alone one from a brand that’s notorious for issues with electronics, etc, when you start poking around and troubleshooting, it’s typical for things to snowball a bit. Maybe the starter only had 5001 starts in it, and you used 4999 of them.
Regardless though, you’re gonna be pissing up a rope if you are looking for some sort of remedies from either shop. Sell it, or don’t, but don’t waste more headspace on wondering why it broke. It’s old, old things break.
Probably the best response.
I got a Microsoft settlement with your name on it @Kloubek
At the very least, you are entitled to ask for your (broken) parts back. Old alternator & battery are easily tested outside of vehicle, gauging trustworthiness of service writer/shop in general
you are like the typical shitty service customer. Wont work on your own car, want others to do the work but doesn't want to pay for shit.
First problem is you diagnose a problem that it needs an alternator. perhaps you are right, but could also be that you're wrong.
Then you go to rockauto to order one, which I mean, might very well be the wrong part. Especially on a brand so sensitive to electrical problems as a LR, that has a million variations of the same part.
Then go you to a shop you know doesnt fucking know what they're doing, to do a job they have no fucking idea how to do. So when they fucked up, you have no fucking idea why....
So finally a million other problems later, you figured that you would clear the codes or figure it out yourself, only to HAVE to bring it back to the dealer.
Then you cry about having to pay for a starter at the dealer. Hey you know what , why dont you order one from rock auto and change it yourself or bring it to another shitty shop and have them fuck it up too.
Honestly this is very harsh. But fuck, you brag that you can afford the maintenance and fixes on a LR only to go with the shitty "fix my Honda civic route".
come on man, you just showed him a car that's 50k compares to his 06 land rover high milage nightmare that's 10k at best. Why not just go straight to the trackhawk.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You asked for opinions but you don’t like the responses as you understandably have a very biased perspective of what took place. My intention wasn’t to be a dick but I can’t comprehend how you have expected maintenance and repairs on this vehicle to be simple and straightforward when it’s a vehicle with a very poor reputation for this exact scenario.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

You’re accusing the shop of negligently damaging multiple parts on your vehicle because more then one part needed to be replaced. I can’t prove that this isn’t the case but I doubt this happened on your vehicle which is a vehicle known to spend more time in the shop then be driven.
How do you think Land Rovers ended up with such a bad reputation for costly repairs and failures? My guess is that it’s exactly this type of scenario, which as mentioned, is a problem with the poor workmanship and quality of the vehicle. This isn’t meant to be insulting either, for further clarity.
I feel like I need to defend land rover here. Yes, they have their fair share of issues. But replacing a battery, starter, and alternator on a 17 year old vehicle cannot be chalked up to "oh what a shit brand". No. It cannot. I challenge you to a duel. Lets lance our RR and whoever survives pays the atlantic british parts bill.
Edit: also anyone who owns a BMW and talks shit on LR as being shit needs a slap in the face with a wet sea-dick

Tap, Rack, BANG!
I’m sure this happens all the time, handy diy guy who can fix his own car decides to take it to a shop because he knows something will go wrong. Hopes it goes well but if something breaks, blame the shop and get repairs for free.
It’s weird that an Indian car company doesn’t make reliable vehicles
Depending on what year his LR is, it might be made by BMWThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Just delete this thread and get one going under the Marketplace subforum
Can I also just add in that alternator, starter and battery are not what I would consider expensive repairs on a LR/RR. Expensive is usually engine replacement, wiring harness shorts etc.
Also @finboy that LX570 is very tempting. Why maroon, WHYYYY? Who goes to a dealership and says: Yes here is $120k now give me that flagship SUV in the shittiest colour possible.
I’ll start the bidding at $5k.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
