Me too
Have just returned from a 2500 mile drive down through France to Northern Spain and thought I'd been fairly lucky that my car doesn't seem to suffer from the issues many of the people on this site have reported, but it seems that it's my turn now..
At 4500 miles the service indicator came up saying it was due for a service, but this is way too early..
The "transmission not in Park" warning has happened several times now..
Now my drivers side climate control is blowing hot when it should be cold..
I'm also worried that my bonnet catch doesn't always release the bonnet. It's as though it's right at the end of its travel. Anyone else noticed this? Need to get this adjusted before the bonnet won't open at all.
Booked into the dealer for this Friday to resolve. Will let you know how it goes.

The first two issues should be immediately known to any dealer worth their salt, and can be fixed in less than an hour - both are software flash fixes. The bonnet catch ought to take a decent mechanic a few minutes to sort. There is no reason whatsoever for key reprogramming or anything of the sort. I think we need to know who the dealer is...... -

A little update for you all...
I have just got my car back today after TWO WEEKS in the garage…
The “Premature Service Indicator” warning issue has not been fixed because Land Rover have advised the garage that the software fix previously used to resolve this issue has itself been found to be causing issues, so the update has been suspended by Land Rover pending them developing a fix for the fix..
They say they will contact me when Land Rover have issued the revised update, and they are collecting details of anyone else reporting this same issue in the meantime.
The erroneous intermittent “Transmission not in Park” message they tell me has been fixed.
They replaced a couple of modules (CJB and KVM ?) and updated software, but I believe that when they did this, the KVM module became corrupted, so they had to replace that module again and re-apply the update.
The Climate Control “Hot air blowing from Drivers side vents” issue has been fixed through a software update.
The “Bonnet release cable not always releasing the bonnet” issue has been fixed by them replacing the lever and cable.
I think the garage have tried hard but have been delayed by slow Land Rover technical support responses and long lead times for the various parts that have been required.
The Discovery Sport they lent me for the duration was OK, but I’m glad to be back in my Discovery 5.

Ok, you have me a little worried now but the oil level is fine, it's running sweetly, and logic tells me that if Land Rover have developed and are still developing an updated fix for the issue then there must be recognition that there is a generic fault.
The garage had it for two weeks and were in dialogue with Land Rover tech support so on balance I presume it is a software fault.

Regarding the OP bonnet release cable, apparently there is a recall for this. Mine went in for it's 1,000km (2,450km actually) check-up where they mentioned it.
Although working at the moment, mine needs replacing as it is at the outside of tolerances.
