Finally have my rig ('99 D1) back after being in the body shop or LR for a month and a half. Now I need to take care of the nit-picky things.
1. The program button on the stereo display is no longer illuminated; what do I need to replace?
2. There are rectangular filters that run below the windshield under the hood; half are now gone; what's their purpose and do they need to be replaced?
3. I found a fog lamp switch at the Atlantic British site; LR says I'm pre-wired for fog lamps; since the replacement bumper has cutouts, I now have to buy the lights; is there anything required besides hooking up the lights and putting in the switch?
4. Passenger side headlamp was replaced (is that considered R or L?); it doesn't appear to have a "solid" beam like the driver side and looks less bright; is that common in newer headlamps?
5. The passenger side yellow lamp was replaced and has a crack within the plastic (can't feel it from the exterior); pointed this out to the shop, but they said that's how it came; anyone have the same experience?
6. Found previous posts regarding removal of door panels; I removed the screw from the door handle on the rear driver side, but the plastic piece doesn't come off and also need to know how to remove the window switch? (Had no success in "gently prying" the panel off, but will stop at AutoZone today to buy the tool someone mentioned.)
Sorry for the barrage of questions, but I wanted to get it all done at once. And thanks for all of the support during the 7 months since I bought her! I've had more i$$ues than on my '96 Exploder with 135k (which is why I still have it as my backup) and wonder if I did the right thing by selling my Z28 convertible that had a 100k warranty, haha!
BTW, she's still leaking oil from the valve job...LR said they had a backlog and couldn't get me in until Monday. I received a call from LR's customer service people a few days after picking it up and they asked if I was satisfied with the service. Told them I was skeptical about the non-warranty decision and there were problems at the machine shop they outsourced the work to, and since I was in Pittsburgh when they called, I didn't know how the rig was performing. They also asked if I'd been provided with the complimentary shuttle or a loaner vehicle. Told them I was given a ride home when dropping it off, but no one was available when it came time to pick it up. A pain in the ass when you don't know anyone! Is it common for their corporate customer service folks to make a follow-up call on expensive repairs? That was the first time, although the shop always follows up.
Thanks, again! |
