The 'Alliegence' scheme is aimed at attracting owners of older Land Rover products. If the item isn't in stock, then you have to wait for it to be ordered in as one of the part department's 'Stock Orders'. Ordering this way allows the department to pass on a discount. If the item is needed next day, and it is not in stock, then the item is VOR'd but then you have to pay full retail for it - no discount is available. Provided the item is in stock, or comes in as a stock order, then you can expect some discount. Unfortunately, this isn't a set figure from what I can tell, but on a service item you should expect up to 10% off the LR retail price.
Land Rover have just started a scheme aimed at Independent LR Specialists. If you get offered the scheme, when you accept you receive a box of goodies and a little folder with a list of parts with 'Trade' and 'Retail' prices. It's a strange list in that some items are ideal, but others are obscure. To give you an idea, a Td5 Turbo unit is not in the scheme, but the studs holding it in place are. :roll: That's not good, but as a member of the scheme, I was able to buy a Genuine Bosch/Thor MAF for less than the dealer would pay. I can then pass this competitive price on to the customer, in this case and export job to Peter Sanders in Western Australia.
I'm hoping that LR expand this list further if the scheme works. That way everyone is a winner - LR, me and the customer.
