OK, first question. Should the soft door close work on all doors, including the drivers? 

On Saturday I sat in the back of showroom vogue and it soft closed on me. Very neat bit of kit 2006 RRS Supercharged 4.2 HST muthuaflecka!

Picked my AB up last week & my drivers door is not working booked in Wed. To get sorted. 2015 SD V6 A/B

It also wasn't working on any of the doors on both the Land Rover Experience RRS and FFRR I drove 3 weeks ago. Is it a user configaurable option in the dash if it is fitted? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Works on 3 of my doors. 

Didn't work on the driver's door of the demonstrator I tried a few weeks ago. Wasn't until I closed the passenger door and found that it soft closed that I realised the car had the feature. Checked the rears and they both worked. Probably a software issue.

I suspect another software issue with the FFRR demonstrator I tried. The deployable sidesteps had a mind of their own. They couldn't be prevented from coming out if you followed the inhibit instructions and then both sides came out together instead of just one side whenever a door was opened.

Also, the electrically operated rear seat back folding feature made the front passenger seat go backwards and forwards like some sort of demented slow motion duck in a shooting gallery and once the rear seat back was lowered it wouldn't come up again. (My understanding is that it's supposed to move the front seat clear to allow the rear to fold without hitting it. Don't know what your passenger is supposed to do while all this is going on - stand outside in the rain I suppose!)

Works fine on all doors and boot of mine, dealer told me if the doors are repeatedly slammed it can knock it out  2014.5 Mariana Black 5.0 Supercharged V8 Autobiography

Given how easily the doors close on an RRS and how relatively light they are, I wonder what the benefit is. Mark

For me it's not waking up the sleeping baby in the back, beyond that it's a gimmick....but one I always wanted after having a ride in my bosses Bentley mulsanne 2014.5 Mariana Black 5.0 Supercharged V8 Autobiography

Ah yes, the barely discernible exhaust note of the SVR which will let babies sleep on... Mark

The baby does not sleep in an SVR, it feints due to shock.
