I would purchase it, it's a great tool to have regardless of the current issues you are having. Did drfox get any information from landrover in respect to error codes his put up when he had his problem?(to compare) 2017 MY17 SDV6 SE |

Just jumped into the car to get a blue tooth dongle from Jcar. Car engine light was off? Went a few blocks and limp mode came on but no engine light. Stopped and restarted changed drive mode to dynamic and limp mode came back again?? Stopped and restarted and gave it a boot full drive like I was in the GP and so far no limp mode and no engine lights. I did see a post where the OP ran the fuel quite low and his car went to limp mode ? Wondering if my run down to just 10 litres on my return from Melbourne could make this happen??? The codes say turbo though so who knows, the British have never been good at electronics. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW. |

Bails, that is a distinct possiblity - several Evoque owners over on their forums have suffered the same issue running the tank level down until the yellow low fuel light is permanently showing. They report the same restricted power message and difficulty in resetting. I will post that they should give it a drive like they stole it. One member has posted that when he read the error codes from the log he had 2 errors codes that warned of EGR failure - this is on a 3 year old 2.2litre engined car. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

check your battery as well, a low battery can give all sorts of weird issues.

Very Strange I am still driving the car, starts out with no fault light and then goes to limp mode. Restart and then drive a bit limp mode again. Restart and engine light now on but does not go to limp mode for again. Thrash the car just to check the supposed fault of boost but still running fine with engine check light on. Will drive again tomorrow and then on Monday drive to the dealers. Good news is my parking sensors are now working like they should.

Well car went to dealers again yesterday to clear the CEL. After talking to the Tech he said he would be on to RR to find out what parts need replacing as the same codes to the actuator keep coming up. If it is the actuators I suspect it is motor out job as the Turbos will be hard to access in the car. Bit of a bummer if this is the case as dropping the sub frame can lead to all sorts of future issues. The code are just saying power leaks to earth and power leaks to positive or something like this, but same start codes as those posted by me.

Latest News they are going to replace the primary turbo, which does not require engine removal as there is 4 hrs work according to RR. Issue is there are none in Australia and I will be waiting 2 weeks for the parts. I can still drive the car so not to bad. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW. |

Actually we don't know what is wrong this is elimination now, could be the PCM, wiring or the actuator . The most likely is the actuator so it is first cab off the rank for change.

On another issue I was able to source Brake components in Australia front and rear full replacement for $595 aussie dollars. Seems the Brakes are the same as the Older models . Front disc $170 pair is much better than OME. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW. |

Well car back from Dealers . Was in 3 days for replacement of the primary turbo . I also had the front brakes replaced, that is Rotors and pads. Lets hope this is the only problems I have. All seems good so far. Brake replacement was very low cost, I supplied parts and dealer did the job , all up about $480 Aussie dollars. They also did a update on the seat so hopefully it returns to the correct height. I had a Disco Sport as a loaner which was good considering the miserable weather we are having.
