Hi Steve.. Throttle body replacement resolved the issue on mine. How long have you had the car? |

Only 4 weeks. It’s only got 25,000 miles on it so was hoping for a good one! Looking at satnav, the previous owner did some good long runs too so not just popping down the shops..

Throttle body valve/flap sticking will cause those DPF issues. |

Consumer protection act 2015..... You have legal protection under the above legislation. Dealer I bought the car footed the bill....cost him £1150..but most of that was labour time spent investigating. But dealer paid up without any quibble. |

Might help to know what engine is in this vehicle? My experience is that the fault lights often have nothing to do with the actual fault! M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW. |

I had a similar problem early last year - called LR Assist and their technician came and replaced the throttle body in my driveway. No problems since. Current: 2020 P400e HSE Dynamic

Has anyone had to replace the DPF Filter? I was told today that the Landrover approved warranty doesn't cover this. |

That's the first I've heard of LR Assist carrying out repairs of that type on the road. I'm surprised they had the part on-board. When ever I've used them its been a tow to a LR Dealer unless it was a simple to fix problem. Tim Tim RRS sold and replaced with a Skoda Kodiaq after appalling RR Dealer experience and LR inability to supply new cars in any sort of reasonable time frame.. |

These days you lots of companies that do flash ckean of DPF....restores DPF as the DPF is removed and flushed out using chemical solutions which remove all the soot and ash at fraction of the vost of a new DPF.. |

I have just signed up for a warranty with warranty direct and on their list of items not covered is the DPF filter. Must be classed as a wear and tear item, a very expensive one..... |

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised but (if I recall correctly) he said he brought one because he thought that would be the issue as soon as he heard what the symptoms were. After he’d read the codes etc and confirmed his theory, he had to make a phone call to get approval to change the throttle body under warranty. Current: 2020 P400e HSE Dynamic Gone: 2016 SDV6 HSE 2012 SDV6 SE |
