I love RRS, even my first one, a 2005 launch day delivered TDv6 SE with no extras was a great car. What depresses me and puts me off isn’t the product, it is the attitude of the maker not to even hint that they have confidence in their own product’s reliability, they expect owners to gamble that JLR might or might not contribute to a repair. I also feel that at my stage in life on the downslope to retiring that I don’t want to saddle myself with the finances of a new PCP for a JLR product when I can afford to buy outright something less prestigious but better built and more reliable that the maker has confidence in it staying that way which at the moment JLR doesn’t demonstrate one iota unless your car is still in warranty and even then often they need several goes at fixing it when it goes wrong. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Lindab, I would suggest cancelling stop-start every time you start the car. It saves nothing in emissions (believe me, I am an emissions analyst) and adds significantly to wear and tear on the car. It also seems to be killing your battery. You will have the added advantage that the air con keeps working when you are stationary, which is the whole point of a luxury car, surely? |

I was not too concerned about the stop/start working. It was the "low battery start engine message". You get a bit paranoid when this keeps coming up, waiting for the time it will not start. Would have preferred if it did not show this. Ignorance is bliss |

Fair enough. I thought it might help with your battery conditioning. |
