Problems from the off!!

Just picked up an 07 hSE from a landrover main dealer. Would have been fairly good if they had shut the bonnet properly before I pulled out onto the motorway. Could have been worse, was only half shut and just started banging. A quick pull over sorted that out. Good start!! Then on came the first warning, program not recognised, went, then came back intermittently, and now the susupension warning is on as well. Just to add to the woe the front PDC works when it feels like it. F~~king brilliant 100 miles on the clock, and not impressed with the amount wrong already. Don't these tossers do a vehicle check before it leaves the factory. Sad

Sorry you've properly joined us long-suffering RRS owners at such an early stage Braveheart. I'm told the bonnet is a typical problem, mine also flapped about at speed until I learned to slam it shut with both hands, either side. Intermittent faults are also typical, often not even being registered on the diagnostic system. The rest is not suprising, I think LR bash the cars out too quickly to meet demand and dont pay proper attention to quality control. TB would know more about that, perhaps? Good luck mate!

The funny thing is with the RRS is that you get all these warnings very early on in ownership. Once you have reset the system a couple of times these errors don't seem to reappear.

BTW I think you should say sorry to TB! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Ok , bonnet situation is not the big problem, didn't blow up properly, and is the least of my worries. Censored happens.

More concerned how a 50 grand car can have a number of fairly major things wrong from almost zero miles!!!

I've had an undiagnosed recurring "ghost fault" for the last three months VA, so not always strictly true. I'm sure Braveheart and TB will kiss and make-up! Whistle MY12 SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ebony/Piano/Sidesteps/Privacy/Overfinch Olympus/JLR DRLs

its not unique - my friends E55 is going back in this week for a brake failure problem - plus the side mirrors keep failing even after being replaced. Noone wants such issues at 100miles of course - take it back to the dealer and I'm sure it will be sorted

I feel for you and agree it doesnt seem right, but the car is so complex that when thry leave the factory after they have had all there checks they can still have a few teething problems that arnt picked up at the time of the checks, maybee LR do need to put the cars through longer tests, but even then theres allways going to be the odd niggle,


I hope you get it sorted out soon some of my Previous cars

Many things I may be, but a mind reader I am not!! Wee bit touchy TB it seems!! Rolling with laughter



Or is the "don't care" attitude just part of RRS ownership??


My apologies anyway, wasn't directed specifically at you TB!!! Smile
