Hi devonchilliman,
How do you find the MTR's compared to the LTZ's?
I'm talking road noise & off road abilities.
Cheers, Craig

Or he could take my old banger back and leave me the shiny D4. I'm sure they'd not notice.

I have only just had the LTZs ,I bought them second hand off a fellow forum member,they are so much quieter than the MTRs and handle more like a road biased tyre,which you would expect,but don't get me wrong I LOVE my MTRs,but just drive accordingly ,I'm enjoying throwing the D4 around a bit more on the LTZs,as for off road haven't done too much with them yet,but impressed so far
@ woody cherrs ,just wish it was dealt with as quick as yours
@ Ben & Del...all being well I will be there

Here we go again
As agreed I arrived at the dealers to be met by a chap from Enterprise,I handed over my keys to the nice lady on the service desk and was given a lift to the Enterprise yard which was only 5mins away.Was then asked for my driving licence which I had been told to bring,then asked for a £50 deposit,I said I haven't got £50 on me ,any credit cards sir,no I said,ive only enough on me for lunch!,oh well we can't let you have the D4 without a deposit!,you should have been told that from your dealer,so I said I wasn't .I suggested that he call the dealer which he did,the next thing is I am told that I will have to give you a lift back to the dealership & they will find an employees car for you.I arrived back at he dealership to be handed keys for a RRsnort  I then vented my anger over this comedy of errors  I will have a word with the service dept and see if there is anychance they can squeeze you car in,(bearing in mind this was what I requested right at the beginning) .Guess what they could ,so 2 hours later after I stuffed myself with a XXX hot Nandos I get a call to say your car is ready and although a fault of a dead battery was recorded all is 100% ok They think the fact that I had my hazard lights on for 35mins while I changed my wheels over was enough to drain the battery completely  .Ive done this a few times a year and never had a problem before!
Well at least all is ok for Sat Www.devonchilliman.co.uk

Dont understand how they can say that everything is ok after just 2 hours.
My car was originally going to be booked in before the battery failed and I was told that they would need to keep it overnight.
I was told that they have to charge the battery up in the afternoon, then leave it overnight, in the morning they couple their charger (?) back up and if the battery is faulty it gives them a code number. This code is needed to authorise a replacement battery, only way round this apparently is if LRA are involved.
