Update on our case: After 4 weeks LR Extended warranty assessor has agreed to dealer’s assessment that new engine required and have authorised this.

Re: New Engine Needed after 2 years & 23k miles

Interested in your outcome - our 2017 HSE SD4 is currently at Farnell Leeds. Thankfully we have the LR extended warranty in place but have been told be dealer “it needs a new engine” - warranty company have asked for engine to be stripped down to further investigate..... only covered just over 40k s...

Re: Climate control issue

Update: Went in to the dealers today - diagnostics showed a fault code related to the computer's control of how the central aircon unit controls the motorised vents that distribute the air to various parts of the cabin; easily sorted with a software download. Fingers crossed for some more sunshine i...

Re: iPad headrest mounts

Haven't specifically tried but don't see why it should interfere - the click n go base is just a press-fit spring loaded system that sits wedged between the metal uprights of the headrest. Even it it limits the ability of headrest to drop down it takes literally a couple of seconds to fit / remove.....

Re: Got mine and a few pointers!

We took delivery on 2nd March and would agree with your observations with regard the sim card - it's not the easiest thing to setup, although I did manage it eventually! Also concur that the gesture opening of the boot lid is pretty tricky to get to work.... We have been really impressed with the bu...

Re: 1st March collection

Hi Huxey

No we didn't really consider the Dynamic pack, my opinion is that it wouldn't be worth it just to get the black roof - I'd agree with what you say of it probably not being enough of a contrast, don't forget also that much of the roof is actually black glass anyway.....

Re: 4G Sim??

Re: 4G Sim??

thanks Mike - I think I'm probably going to go for a rolling monthly contract sim, again so I can adjust the data depending on how much I use - was thinking of starting with 4-5GB per month as we use spotify
