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.

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.

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!

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.
