Problem solved. NO FAULT of the vehicle.
EXtremely embarrassed to report: after transporting "Fendy" 400 klms (on a flat-tray truck) arrived at the dealership - rolled it off - went to (office) filled out paperwork. Waiting for a taxi - noticed (10 minutes later) a minion 'parking' Defender with NO Revs. Asked HOW ? He explained the accelerator peddle had been jammed under the floor-mat. (they're v solid + clip into place).
(a family member had cleaned all the floor-mats, previous night before 'packing' ).
Our credibility's taken-a-hit . But confidence in 'Fendy', returned. (Thought it may've been the Accessory-belt Drive)
