What number plates do you use recommend I’m thinking of aesthetics I’ve bought a standard size and fitted it but it looks a bit lost? I know you can get square and oversized plates. I’m also going to fit a black plastic surround similar to those supplied by powerful uk bling bling

Just asking.😬

Nah...still rolled up in it's box. Every time I thought about doing it, the weather was either too nice to be bothered actually working on the Bling Barge or so bad I couldn't. ...

Design.

It opens automatically with the tailgate when you open it with the gesture (kick the bumper) or the button on the key fob.

It stays closed if you use the button on the tailgate or the button on the dash near the driver's seat.

The inner powered tailgate doesn’t come down when opening the tailgate with the button on the vehicle but works when the button for the tailgate inside is pressed it also goes back up when you close the tailgate. I’ve tried manually pulling it down but it doesn’t reset it. Not tried it when using the key fob.
What’s the potential likely cause?? And fix
Thanks

Have a look on eBay. There's usually 2nd hand bits available. The other option is consider having them wrapped whatever colour you want.

Following on from the earlier post, those roof bar clamps are still available for silly money.
Even if you pay for postage, these are for nothing AND fit the D5 roof bars perfectly: TEMU CHEAPO LINKY

HI when i select reverse i get options on the screen, On road, offroad and towing, the towing gives me the single line for hitching, i still don't have the camera zoom and i don't need the target sticker, it just knows once the caravan sizes have been input. there are towing icons on the app type screen to input sizes the light check and nose weight
Hope this helps

Might be half an idea to make a cardboard template from the original lettering.😉
Swing it outta the way, use dental floss in a sawing motion to remove the old letters, then solvent or petrol to remove the excess sticky. Then reposition your template and stick on your new lettering.

It’s a very easy mod but does have a big impact.👍🏻

We have ATC on our swift twin axle. It does not conflict with anything on my D5 (factory deployable ball and software etc). All works like a dream.

Another question..

Looks like the previous owner has had the Lower front and rear tow eye covers painted Gloss black, which is now not looking its best.. As it is Indus Silver with the Dynamic Design pack, I think it originally would have had these parts in Indus Silver.

Are these easy to get hold of ? Think it looks better with the contrasting lower area in "silver", rather than the painted black.. Have tried finding the part numbers, but...

Apple car play and android auto got added by OTA software updates, possibly after your car was built.

It means it was a possible option for some vehicles but the factory didn't fit it on that particular vehicle.

I’m sure someone more knowledgeable than me will know the answer. LR have sent me the build sheet for my vehicle. Can someone tell me what the word LESS refers to prior to the listed feature eg
LESS floor mats
LESS first aid kit
LESS crankshaft pressure sensor!???
Thanks

Harry,

Did you recalibrate with the IID when you changed the TCU battery pack, can you remember why you changed it and did it solve your issue?

TIA
