Dropping off this morning too get the AEB looked at, the popping and banging sensors and the phase 4 update.
In for at least 4 days before a case can be raised so looking like going too be in for a week at least.
Wonder what the Mrs will get back as a courtesy vehicle?
Hopefully a FFRR but more likely an Evoque

Well the phase 4 was installed. Seems alot more user friendly and I prefer the way it's set out. Fridge works as does the RSE.
Sensors still crackling and popping, even after fitting a new amp. Was told they were sorted but obviously not!
Still no luck with the AEB. Reckon a new software program is needed to fix it. Maybe 6 days or 6 weeks or 6 months? They dont know.
Reckon LR will probably put out a RECALL, the garage said as they can't fix it.
Car was washed and hoovered the day before it was dropped off, so any damage is noticeable beforehand or when returned. (Not that there was any damage I hasten to add beforehand).
Well it was returned with a nasty 3 inch gouge in the drivers side doorcard low down which was deffo not there when car was dropped off.
Yes I know it's easy too scuff the door card with your shoe, but this looks like a screwdriver marked it
Not sure if they took the headlining off or if they took the dash off, but I found a washer in the passenger footwell and a large broken clip on the rear floor mat.
Rubber trim on rear door was also hanging off, leading me too suspect the head liner was removed.
Not happy as I doubt that the lost / broken bits were replaced as probably thought the owner will not know any better. Just waiting for the panels too start squeaking now

Finally had time to get the split-charge install finished. I’ve used a kit from Traxide (used Tim’s kits in D3 and D4 before and always found them reliable and easy to install). As I have a 5 seat HSE the aux battery can be in the rear which makes cabling easier. Cut out the styrene and the battery drops in. Added a 6-way power distribution board - so far only for permanent USB socket, 1 normal 12v socket and 1 magcode socket (I’ve installed these in my D3 as well. Engel and some other items now have these as plugs. They are flatter, easier to attach/take off and a solid connection). Controller is hidden away under the boot floor cover. The Traxide comes with a simple control box which I haven’t yet decided where to mount so one thing more to do....but there is always “one more thing to do...” 😄 And of course there is always one screw leftover after putting the boot floor back together 🙄 Hardest part? Getting that bloody main battery cover off....and then trying to get it back on 😡

Are you going to question the dealer about that ?
Hi Stiff I went back as soon as I had filled up the tank with petrol. Was only then that I noticed the gouge as I jumped back into the car.
Decided to wash it today and hoover the interior, only to find several issues.
Not happy as passenger seat was smeared with oily residue from a manky boiler suit. Never had the decency to use a plastic seat cover over it.
Drivers seat also had a black stain on it. I deliberately left the seat cover on that I bought for it, but the bottom half was not on properly. It had ridden back, so to speak and was only half on, hence the blob of what looked like tar was smudged on the cream leather.
Oily fingermarks on driver side next to the window switches.
The gloss black door pillar on drivers side has been scored and its gone through the ceramic coating
I think when shutting the door with grit on hands has caused this. You can feel the scratch.
Passenger side door strip has a nick taken out of it which has chipped the ceramic coating.
Leather has a slit on the top of the central console lid.
Loose panel in the boot. Never even fitted panel properly.
Drivers side Discovery logo panel kickplate was not fitted properly either. Had to click it back into place.
Car was damage free as I washed and dried it the day before it was dropped off. Really
off at the blatant disregard for other peoples property.
I bet if I handed the courtesy vehicle back in this state that they would not have been happy.

Windscreen
Well car went in to get the windscreen fitted this morning.
I emailed the company weeks ago, saying that i wanted a genuine screen, and not a 3rd party Mickey Mouse one.
No problem they said, as will order via the cars VIN plate number, but it will take longer than getting a 3rd party one which was readily available. So decided to wait obviously.
Anyhow i spoke too the guy on the phone, 6 odd emails, plus photos of the windscreen with the symbols on it and i stipulated to them it has the Solar Attenuated Windscreen, but not the HUD.
Well as soon as we got home, the screen looked alot CLEARER so too speak.
Only when i checked did notice that it only had the 2 symbols, and not the 3 symbols like the original.
Phoned them straight away and were very apologetic.
Seems LR sent the wrong screen out, but i highly doubt they have known that i ordered the Solar Attenuated when i purchased the vehicle, unless they looked at my order.
Not sure if they update on the cars VIN when it left the factory that it had SAW ?
What i will say is that if anyone is getting a replacement screen, ask too see it first and make sure that its the correct one. Nothing worse than having the HUD fitted, only to notice that its not compatable with the normal screen.
I did ask about the glass being thinner and the tech told me indeed it is thinner and not the first D5 to be in for a screen. Thinner glass to save on weight apparently he said and cost.
However i would prefer thicker glass like Pilkington which was on the D4, which is not so fragile.
Cars going in again as soon as the proper one is sourced.
