    bonnet wont open

    Well - looks like a trip to the stealers. Came to open the bonnent on Saturday, pulled release handle inside, no real click heard like previous times, and seems like the left hand latch may have released but right hand side hasnt, so cant get the bonnect open. Big Cry

    2018 Discovery Td6 SE Corris Grey

    Bonnet not realising correctly is a known issue, there's a tech bulletin for it, cables too long, can't pivot release handle to properly release the latches.

    mine is rapidly headed that way, takes about 5 or 6 pulls for it to release. will need to book it in, they can look at the SOTA and front parking sesnosrs that go off every time I go below 10mph (and only on the side that the steering wheel if pointed)

    I just had mine replaced under warranty. Felt like a rubber band.

    so with several having the issue, do we assume JLR have used rubbish release cables in the original manufacture?

    Used to go quite a bit in D3/4’s. It’s a signature fault - enjoy. Thumbs Up

    so need to budget for replacing it again in 2 years once out of warranty?

    Yep, the joys of owning a premium brand, particularly a LR. Thumbs Up

    probably won't have it til its 4 years old TBH (warranty runs to 4th anniversary)

    not a chance am I keeping it beyond that, perhaps not that long (not sure I can put up with the number of dealer visits every year for things not working right, coupled with the horrendous service for Porsche money)

    I keep saying and have done for 10 years, this will be my last LR, but it’s a bit addictive for some strange reason plus SWMBO won’t hear of another brand - snob!

    well if I want a courtesy car whilst "its looked at", that will be Nov 21st !!

    Dealer says if I want something faster call out LR Assist

    sounds about right...I am about to try same on my dealer, but know they'll tell me I can't have a courtesy car and they'll collect and redeliver, meaning I have to be housebound for a day.

    *Ahem*, it's called "character." This is what we pay for in Land Rovers since they took out all the Lucas Electric smoke harnesses.
