Should have known when Land Rover called me it would not be good news. Turns out they are not building ANY Range Rover Velar's in Q1 2019 and are temporarily halting production so it's going be June 2019 or later... [emoji24] [emoji35] [emoji849][emoji2959][emoji2959][emoji2962]
What reason did they give? I was told on Sunday I was still down for March. I questioned if the delays where the engine size and they said there were no problems??
If true, I'll be cancelling my order and I doubt I will be alone. Can they really afford to lose customers given the hard times they are going through?

I called Stratstone Mayfair soon as I saw this post and have been ensured that all orders made before today with a Q1 2019 build date are still going ahead.

If they have stopped production in Q1 then that would point to much larger issues.
However I would suggest that Stratstone have over sold the PCP offer, used up all their build slots and were looking to get more for the extra orders in Q1. It might be that this hasn't panned out and now they are saying production has stopped - but I would suggest only on their orders not confirmed.
Pure speculation at this stage but as mentioned above I don't think they can afford to stop production for a quarter unless it is a major issue.
Sorry to be a naysayer but I'm not convinced this is anymore than Dealership BS.
Spoke to my dealer this week ( not Stratstone) who is assuring an early March delivery date. Plus just spec'ed up on Rockar and saying 11 week delivery for exactly my spec. I'm convinced if this was the case any reputable dealer would be advising customers plus it's commercial suicide for JLR....

I'm going with the thought that this is Stratstone drooping a massive clanger and overselling the deal they had on. If that is the case a call trading standards will be had as they have misled their customers one way or the other.

Starting to make sense now. Did anyone ever get the full Stratstone deal in formal writing. Paperwork reflecting GMFV, APR% etc. They've dropped a massive bollock haven't they?! I got a provisional sales form but no reference to finance terms.

I'll call CS tomorrow too if I get nothing from Stratstone. I just get a very dismissive "it'll be here March / April" but every time I've expressed concern. I feel like an inconvenience. I'll be raging if it turns out my past concern on lead times turns out to be a reality.
