• Gearbox issues

• Neilk, if it's a V6d, from your description I would guess crank snapped, was common on D4 but D5 seems to suffer less. Transmission & driveline is pretty reliable. If car stopped, need to release ...

• Gearbox issues

• Must be something around this time of year, last night a vibration developed very quickly on a fast A road. Vibration became extreme before I could safely pull over when an almighty bang and "Gea ...

• InControl Touch Pro Phase 4 released

• With the 4 zone you can switch off “Auto” for each zone. From memory with the standard Auto was for everyone, even if the temperatures were different. Just moved from HSE to HSE Lux.

• Service gone wrong

• The service menu issue could well be that it only shows up with the Ignition on but without the engine running. You press the stop/start button without your foot on the brake. At least that one isn� ...

• 5 Year Service Plan Yes OR No

• Same for me - keep within the mileage and they will have a tough time forcing any of the “driving style” cop outs.

• Powered inner tailgate.

• Mine did the same (March '17 Vintage), the actuator bracket shears, they have a modified stronger bracket (another bulletin on it).

• Data use

• Thanks - exactly the same happened to mine, but now I cannot get a connection at all. I will try another SIM in and see what happens.

• Data use

• I got one, and over nine months have used very little.
  
  However, I've found the 3 service to be dreadful. It often takes a very long time to connect - or rather it connects, then disconnects, then c ...

• Data use

• I would say the 12Gb should last a long time based on the car's usage (probably as long as the SIM remains valid if it is a year from memory). Of course if you have people hammering the wifi hotspot ...

• Unresponsive “media” button on Incontrol Pro

• On mine the mode button on the steering wheel stops working, using the soft button works and it is fine again after that.
  
  Definitely get the Phase 3 as that will make a world of difference. It doe ...

• Battery Dead, AC Dead, Rear Lights stay on

• They didn't definitively work out what caused the total battery drain for me either, the ICTP shutdown issue may have been separate. To be fair no major issues since that with later versions of the s ...

• Mine did the same but drained on my drive overnight. It was the day after it came out of the garage in the summer just after a raft of upgrades. Not enough power to open the doors. It hasn't done i ...

• Download points of interest.

• I am not certain but doubt it as ICTP expects a live data connection either via the SIM or paired phone and will do an internet search first, and only if offline use the stored POI’

• Who is sour of 2018 TFT dash?

• On reflection - yes that is what i didn’t like, not the screen itself.
  
  That was exactly the issue with the Demist.

  I do think the Velar is gre ...
