Furious! Bloody Furious!
I've just got off the phone to one of this site's major sponsors and I'm bloody furious!
Ten minutes ago my Indy called me and informed me that the silicone hose set supplied to them by me does not fit. He said they were for the TDV6 engine and not the SDV6. I immediately contacted the supplier and they called me back to confirm they were for the former engine but that information had been omitted from their website and would be rectified immediately. Well, bully for you and thank you for your apology............takes another deep breath........... If I return them I will receive a full refund. That's okay then, isn't it?
No, it bloody well is not okay. My Indy squeezed me in to do this job as he knows that I am a disabled Veteran assessed with 100% disability so my Disco is literally my lifeline as I have a need to get to hospital without delay in certain medical circumstances. The only vehicle I trust in all conditions is my Discovery. Anyway, the staff member with whom I spoke gave the impression of, "Couldn't care less. I've said we're sorry and offered a refund", I must be fair at this point as he did ask me what I wanted. I want the right f*****g part, mate, that's what I want!
So Advanced Factors, and at this point another big breath to remain calm, you've f****d up and in doing so have caused me great inconvenience, someone else will have to sort the return out for me and then all will be well, won't it? Someone at this company wants a Size 12 up their .

Maybe chill out a bit, its a mistake they have offered to fix, put the old set back on, or rather if this indy is so great he should have released they are the wrong part in the first place...

No, they haven't offered to fix at all. All they've done is offered my money back if I return the items at my bloody inconvenience! 'He should have realised.........', of course he bloody realised which is why he phoned me to tell me they were the wrong parts FFS!
I'm ex-Forces so I don't suffer fools. Chill out.....really?

Harsh? WTF! Oh for crying out loud. I know, it's my fault, I should apologise to them, shouldn't I?

Really? Run that past me one more time: the SDV6 is the same as the TDV6. Have you informed Land Rover?

Realistically what do you expect them to do other than provide a refund?
Ex forces, whats that got to do with it?
I think you need to take stock a bit to be honest, some things being said here are clearly due to red mist.
So did the indy leave without a functional vehicle, pending receipt of the correct components ?

Yes, assuming they are 3.0l ( I should have specified that), they are both the same part. Its a badging designation.

Human error, unfortunately it happens sometimes in "Civvy street"!
I also thought that the hose set would be exactly the same for both the 3.0 SDV6 & TDV6.

Always had excellent service from AF. Anyone can make mistakes. I'm not sure what the point is tbh.

If your posts anything to go by, I’m surprised they didn’t slam the phone down on you.
Mistakes happen, getting heat up about it ain’t going to help, also no need to have a go at other forum members.
Once the Disco is fixed perhaps swing it by the local anger management group, it might help the next time an error happens.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green
