Windscreen rubber seal issue

I was driving on the M11 motorway on Sunday and the rubber seal from the windscreen came away - please see photo attached. I contacted my Land Rover dealer who informed me that this was a designed fault. They have now replaced the parts which I presumed was authorised and supplied by Land Rover head...

Re: 'Service Required' after only 5,000 Miles - Is this correct?

I also had the service required message pop up as well. The car has done just over 2000 miles and it was indicating that a service was required in around 1500 miles which equates to only 3500 miles! Anyway Barretts Land Rover in Ashford paid me a visit to rectify another issue I was having with my v...

Re: Sim card reader

Another Update: Sim card reader error has still not been rectified. The car has now been with the dealer over 4 weeks and still no resolution. They are receiving guidance and fixes from Land Rover Technicians at head office but as of yet they cannot fix the issue. :cry: The technicians at head offic...

Re: Sim card reader

jimbg: I provided my sim card and I am presuming they used that or one of their own. When you say problems with actual SIM cards are we implying that only sim cards that use a specific network i.e. EE will work with the LR sim reader? Would you be able to provide me a link to the Forum where this is...

Re: Sim card reader

Update: Car was returned to me by the dealer last week with a new sim card reader which was apparently tested by the Technician and was deemed to be working fine. When I put my sim card into the unit upon its return I was still getting the same error message ' Sim Card Removed' :x Spoke to the servi...

Re: Sim card reader

I have the same issue - error message ' Sim Card Removed' - and according to Land Rover the sim card reader is faulty and needs to be replaced. Unlike yourself I have never been able to get it to work! The car is being collected on Thursday so hopefully the issue will be rectified shortly. :) Will k...

Re: Rear View Mirror + other issues

I agree very basic stuff and none of the other cars I have had, and that includes a Disco 4 and Evoque, have experienced this issue but hopefully you should not have any issues! :) I cancelled the booking for the faulty sim card reader last week and rearranged for this Friday so hopefully that will ...

Re: Rear View Mirror + other issues

Update: The car was returned to me after 5 days with a new wind screen but the dealer will be picking up the car again this Friday to replace the sim card reader which should only take a few hours to install. Fingers cross all goes well! :)

Rear View Mirror + other issues

I have the HSE Luxury in Corris Grey with the black pack and I have been really enjoying the car but unfortunately it has now developed a few minor (I hope they do not become major) issues. 1. The bracket that holds the rear-view mirror has come away from the windscreen so the whole unit needs repla...
