I would suggest this is fairly typical Land Rover ownership?
Occasional weeks without faults, rather than the occasional fault.

How long do you think the dealer should keep repairing the vehicle?
I'm honestly surprised that the dealer engaged with you for so long, particularly when it isn't the same recurring fault.

From Google AI (which I don't consider factually but many other sites will confirm similar)

According to most reports, a Land Rover can generally be considered reliable for the first 3 years, with many stating that issues tend to arise more significantly after the warranty period ends, making it a reasonable timeframe to keep one before potential major repair costs could occur; however, compared to other brands, Land Rovers still tend to be considered below average in terms of overall reliability. 

Key points to consider:

• Within warranty period:

  Most Land Rover owners report experiencing minimal issues within the first 3 years of ownership, as this falls within the standard manufacturer warranty period. 
• Beyond warranty:

  Once the warranty expires, the likelihood of expensive repairs increases due to Land Rover's reputation for complex electrical systems and potential mechanical issues. 

They've probably engaged with us because they sold it to us with a tracker and it transpired it doesn't have one and was removed...

In that case you are entitled to have a tracker fitted of the type you were promised in the contract. If that isn't possible (eg perhaps because they are not made any more) you are entitled to the difference in price between the vehicle you bought and an identical vehicle without a fitted tracker.

You are still within time to make that claim, but it's not of itself grounds for rejecting the vehicle.

How much did the OP pay for the car in 2022?
How much could the OP sell the car for now?
What depreciation would normally be expected on this type of car in 2 and a bit years?

FYI the place is closed/empty as of late last week. No immediate signs of where the stock has gone (I was looking at a specific car and it’s not appeared for sale elsewhere yet) 

The adjoining bike place is still trading but without Mr Sanderson as a Director and the boss there is apparently getting !!!!!! off with people looking for cars. 

Good luck but I suspect it’s gone forever 

ETA and mean the dealer rather than the car - hopefully the car’s in your possession ??
