So this can affect the updated cars as well.
That's a bit worrying.
probably going to surpass ****2023 software at this rate.

Well the ‘lost door’ problem has rectified itself. All back to normal now. I can’t help wondering if it was a issue with moisture in the door causing condensation to form on the sensor?? It seems like it started when the weather here had been terrible for a few days and now that we have had a couple of rain free days it has decided to work again..
I could be barking up the wrong tree but we’ll find out when they strip the door to replace the sensor. I might ask them to spray it with some water dispersal spray just in case.

You're lucky to have got your lost door back. My friend left his 2009 Defender in a station car park and when he came back he'd lost all the doors....and the bonnet/hood

Seems to be a common problem. They are easy to take and there’s a ready market for spares🙁

Rear '60' seats rattle due to resonating when driving 15-20mph and 65-70mph. Seats folded down, no problem. Anyone else had this issue and if so, has the dealer fixed it?

Aircon issue that seems to be common in this thread.

eCall error messages every so often alongside others..

One time the driver info display completely disappeared when driving leaving me to guess my speed for 15 mins :S

My centre diff light wouldn't go out because the centre diff wouldn't disengage (not an electrical gremlin). The car was returned to the dealer, where it has been for the last 2 weeks as they try to repair it.

They thought it was fixed first time, but when I went to collect it the centre wouldn't engage this time. Apparently, the 'clip' that connects the cable to the shifter keeps coming off, and they are still waiting for the replacement parts!

So ... my grenadier has broken down with mechanical failure twice in two weeks, and it is proving difficult to get parts !!! (on the up side the dealer has given me a demo grenadier to drive).

l guess it's going to take time for lneos to get the aftercare infrastructure in place, as a new company they've got to start from nothing.

Well my wet weather theory might be correct. The door started playing up again after it was parked in driving rain once more. I sprayed some water dispersal spray into the lock mechanism and also into the door stay hole in case there is a sensor in there. I haven’t had the problem since, and it has been very wet here, (11” during October ). So time will tell, still no sign of the part at the dealers… but at least I can lock the car again. So if anyone else gets this problem try a spray of dispersal agent into the locks…

Got my share of software and other issues yesterday, Bonnet open warning, PDC error, Rear right passenger window does not roll down. The Gong sounds every time you slow down and start moving. Called the service person, was informed, one of the two lock sensors of the bonnet locks might need adjusting, was asked to slam shut the bonnet, had done twice but not with force, so third time was lucky! Doors do not lock if bonnet open sign shows, Visited the service center today, they opened the rear door panel, only to find out that the plug was not connected to the motor! PDC investigation requires more time as centre console has to be pulled out, so at 2000km service. Driving back the tire pressure high warning/ tyre pressure sensor lost came up. So tomorrow is another day of adventure. Incidentally in the PDI check list the roll down and up of windows is not one of the checks! done!

Thanks for that feedback.

Vibration being similar at engine means the engine vibration on my Grenadier is being "transferred" through to the cab and the steering wheel somehow (but not on the BMW). Points again to engine mount over torquing
Is the vibration from engine now sorted? Mine 7 months old. Reported vibration 3 months ago. Now really bad. No one is interested at dealer and no reply from IA.
