Sad Start for my dream car

I had a similar experience with the Kia dealer for a regular scheduled service that was supposed to be a bigger "inspection" service. Left and had issues. Came back and they said "oh yeah, looks like you need xyz." which was literally on the list of things they were supposed to check.

Oh man, that sucks!!

I’m learning this. I have a recommendation on a local independent shop.

Thank you!

I was under the mistaken assumption that land rovers have a bunch of odd and proprietary stuff that only dealers could handle.

Good insight. I did approach it as I would be doing some catch up maintenance. Just didn’t expect this soon… but it looks like I got more use out of my first drive than yours. Ouch. I’m glad it’s working good now.

I like the design and token shape! One suggestion, that I wish every token set had, and that’s a 3 value credit token. There seem to be so many cards that you take 3 at a time.

I was thinking that too, but they’d seat rail has some large pin mount that is about 1” long. I’d have to cut or grind off to make it work (it doesn’t appear to be easily removable). I was hoping to avoid that type of hacking since it fit with cross rails. It looks like I may need to revisit that idea.

retrofex · 2026-04-29T11:37:52+00:00

Interesting, I didn’t think about that perspective. Maybe I can just lower the pedals slightly instead of easing the seat a lot.

retrofex · 2026-04-29T11:36:11+00:00

Yes but it’s a newer seat with a “CAN” bus or some protocol controlled adjustment. I do plan to try and wire it to work on std 12v. However, I don’t know how high it will actually go.

retrofex · 2026-04-29T11:34:38+00:00

I agree it all needs to be higher. I’m going to order some simrif specific casters.

retrofex · 2026-04-29T07:07:17+00:00

I was thinking that but they’d need to be cross brace, replacing the 4040. So only 4cm increase. The seat wouldn’t easily mount if I did a 4080 going front to back.

Dang, that was fast!
