Dealers service bays are snowed under with delivery of cars that have had their handover stopped by LR for the last month pending technical issues with Ingenium engines in Evoque, XE & XF Jaguars and DiscoSport that then got released for hand over in the last couple of days. I was in LPR yesterday and their forecourt was chockabloc with 65 plate cars waiting to be collected. So your car may be in purely because the dealer has't enough computer facilities while they prepare new cars for handover before the end of month and end of quarter bonuses 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

It's the keyless vehicle module....this is the module that detects your presence and opens the doors....however the thieves have sussed a way around the system and they can code new keys to the vehicle. Which unfortunately allows them to drive off in your pride and joy in less than 30 seconds.... What the software does, the way I understand it, is blank off the ability to add additional keys to the vehicle.

I believe the VW diesel engines at issue were the ones used before they introduced Adblue. Plus the Ingenium is not in the 'Sport yet. |

I think the Disco 3 detachable towbar issue recall has also added to the workload |

Got my "safety related recall" letter today, says the software download and if required replace the KVM should take between 20 to 45 mins although may take longer due to your authorised repairers schedule 2015 HSE SDV6 Scotia Grey, ebony / lunar, colour coded, deployable steps, TV, sliding pano and a few other bits. Now gone

Had the KVM update done at the beginning of Sept while car was in for service! All went fine and was told it only needed a software update and not a full module replacement which apparently some do! |

I got mine this weekend and called to book an appointment to get it sorted. First dealer said they would call back within 15 mins as all lines were busy but no one called back (Burnham Land Rover Slough)second dealer (Park Royal) gave me a first appointment on 10th November! SO much for a safety recall if they can't even see car's for another month! |

Mine is MY 2015 and so far no letter from LR. Is this issue VIN/age related? I believe that there is a software upgrade AND a safety recall due to some cars having doors that can open without the driver/passenger operating the door lever when the car is in motion........... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Mine had the software updated and the module replaced early in August. From the timing it would seem that it was done as part of the PDI. Dealer didn't inform me this had been done when I collected the vehicle, but discovered it had been done from TOPIx when I logged on to the car's details. LR assign 15 minutes for the software update and 30 minutes for the module change, don't have access to any further detail.
