If that's the case, personally I would skip the dealer offer and wait until eligible for the all-in-one.
And, more importantly, your 6-month rights under the Consumer Cights Act 2015.

Here you go... sorry for the late reply, only just got round to this after a busy week off with the kids during half term. The van is filthy already (my fault for going white) but here's a couple of it at home a week into use, as well as the pics I snagged from the dealers website before they removed it their end.Pictures or it didnt, blah, blah, blah
Speaking of the dealer... it's got to go back to them to have the sliding door looked at - appears to be leaking through the top seal. Seems to be a fairly common problem from what I've read through the forums. Hopefully the dealer get it sorted.
I also keep getting an issue with the ACC and front assist unavailable with the message popping up on the dash every few mins. It seems to coincide with the bumpier/pot hole roads. Not sure if this is a common thing or not, or whether the alignment is out or worse.
Other thoughts after a week of use...
The drive is quite rough - assuming down to the 20" velare wheels on summer budget tyres mainly. Wondering if its possible to achieve a comfortable ride with these wheels at all. Planning on a trip over to Supreme Conversions in Telford over the next couple weeks.
Good looking van. What size tyres you running. I hear a 20” can be comfortable given the right tyre selection. But the suspension also plays a major part if worn or just a low cost option has been fitted. Generally ACC is very good but doesn’t like heavy rain and splashing through deep puddles. That will knock it off. I had my bumper off for modififications and ACC threw a code. I got my OBD out and touch wood it’s been good as gold ever since.
Especially if it's on 275's all round...
I didn´t want to comment on that, the front looks not too bulky to me but that´s definitely a possible if he is driving a load index of 106/108 all around.
I have 20"Velare VLR07's, and following a suspension upgrade by Steve @CRS Performance in Cannock it drives and handles beautifully. I picked up my van with 275's all round and it was as crashy as a crashy thing. My wheels are staggered with 8.5's on the front and 10's on the back. I changed the tyres on Steve's recommendation to 275/40 on the rear and 245/45 on the front. The difference after the modifications was, and still is, very much worth the monies, a pleasure to drive.

Tyres are:
Doublestar DSU02 255/45/20, 150W (link https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rshop/tyre/Double+Star/DSU02/255-45-R20-105W-XL/R-486223)
No idea if these are the recommended tyres for comfort but I'm guessing not
Not an issue size wise, at least they aren't 275's all round! I'm sure your problem will be the suspension, many of us on here would recommend a chat with Steve in Cannock, with many write ups of his services via the search function. A very honest bloke, no sales pressure, great results.

Thanks for this. Will schedule a call in with Steve in the coming months. It's currently back with the dealer to sort a few things that were discovered in the first 3 weeks of ownership. Now into the 4th week and waiting for it to be returned
Re. the front assist/ACC, they can't find a problem, sensor is reportedly working fine. As mentioned in another thread, they are telling me their tech believes it to be the thickness of the paint on the grille causing the error. Without the van being here to check - I believe the grille is part of the LV-R styling kit, and I image tens of thousands of these have been sold across the country so I struggle to believe what their tech is saying. Will wait for it to come back and then get a diagnostic tool and see if I can sort it myself.
Has the ACC sensor box been painted?Thanks for this. Will schedule a call in with Steve in the coming months. It's currently back with the dealer to sort a few things that were discovered in the first 3 weeks of ownership. Now into the 4th week and waiting for it to be returned

I have a beautifully painted bespoke grill with good paint cover that throws up an error for 10 minutes every fortnight, soon goes, I can live with it!
I didn't actually realise there was a cover, thought it was just the sensor box. Just had a look at mine (GTT bumper) and yeah there's a cover that's part of the bumper so I presume there's paint on mine too.

Not a clue. I only had it 3 weeks before it went back to the dealer. Was supposed to be returned to me yesterday but now delayed until Tuesday. Beginning to question my choice to purchase with all the delays
