Range Rover

We bought a new Range Rover, it's now nearly a year old. I have nothing but issues with it. It's been to the main dealer 7 times now, it's had seal issues, heating issues and body panel issues.
Luckily it does have 2 year warranty so all this is covered, but this isn't the point. Every time it's booked in I have to wait for 2 -3 weeks for a courtesy car which I understand but it's now getting frustrating. The service is so appalling, I phoned them on Saturday and asked to speak to the service manager and was told he'll give me a ring first thing Monday without fail. I ended up phoning them at 10:30 to be told he'll call straight back, I'm still waiting.
Is there anything I can do? I wish I never bought it, can I claim any compensation?

Hopefully your post will be read by someone looking to buy a new Range Rover and they buy something else.
You wont get compensation - your options are to sell it or chop it in for something else and never look back.
Make a complaint to the dealers and escalate, you may get a free service.0 -

Range Rover reliabilty is famously bad, the brand sells its cars on image alone. I suggest the best thing you could do would be sell it and buy something else.0 -
What Range Rover?
"Full fat", Sport, Velar, Evoque?0 -

I'd start thinking about how to move this car on, WBAC or part ex rather than take the chance on a private sale maybe. Or look at extending the warranty as it sounds like its a lemon and you don't want to be stuck with big bills once the warranty expires.0

Oh yes, most certainly try and shift that one on. Probably seen more of them by the side of the road or on a recovey truck than any oher vehicle.0 -

I've posted before regarding the Range Rover Evoque; looks great but worst car ever in my 30 years of car ownership and I would never in a million years buy another Land Rover.Every generation blames the one before...
