Found this on an old BMW forum, they had an issue with the tilt alarm going off
Battery started at 69% and after 2 hour drive to reach ferry it had increased to 71%. I have auxiliary battery also. Not running anything like fridge and have no trailer or caravan, so no additional power drain compared to normal.
There's definitely a problem there ~ that's not right.
Again, another issue, Smartpass should have activated "Smart Assistance":
In a word no.
Yes that sounds normal; but I'm wondering if the battery management is calibrated correctly with your earlier issues?
I emailed Ineos a few weeks ago who said lock with key to avoid alarm being set.
Thanks DCPU. Not currently as camping for next few weeks in Europe. Car will be run every day, so will monitor battery status.
Hm. If I lock my car, the headlights as well as the rear lights go on for a while (I think the time is configurable). If I lock it a second time, the lights switch off immediately - which I regularly do to save battery.
That info related to an older BMW fitted alarm so may not be relevant. But if Ineos has said lock with actual key I'd stick with their advice
Correct.
If that is really the case, you shouldn't go there alone with one car. With any car things can happen that let you immobile and which are worse than diffs not locking.
I would be interested in knowing exactly what vehicles, when first built come without teething problems. If teething problems are still evident in 12 months of ownership, I will begin to lose patience. My Grenadier, despite all manner of alarms at odd times, has performed perfectly. Interestingly, JLR have the most atrocious reliability record and yet they can not make enough of their vehicles to satisfy consumer demand.
Yep and I am going be of those who have owned LR product for years, currently have a Disco 1 with a heap of mods for play on the hard tracks and a Disco 4 for touring, both are super reliable, neither have let me down, in 7 years of ownership and travelling all over Australia not one single fault with the D4
On mine, only the drivers door unlocks and you have to press twice to unlock the rest. Upon exit, drivers door unlocks, but if you exit via the passenger door, they all unlock. Drive away locking works a treat. Should be fixed at the software update.
On mine you can configure central locking to open just the drivers door with one click then second click to open all doors, that’s what I have done with mine. Alternatively you can set up to open all doors with first click.
I'm happy to read that your Land Rover experience has been problem free, as in fact have my 25 years of Land Rover ownership. We are the lucky 40% of Land Rover owners I would say. Best of luck with the next Land Rover product you buy.
That's how most remote door locks work now.
Having owned 3 discoveries, a 1 which was great until a manufacturing error resulted in a timing belt letting go about a month out of warranty and fubaring the engine, took a huge fight and some intelligence gathering (they knew about the fault but weren’t telling people but I found evidence) to make LR come to the party to fix it. A Discovery 2 which had a load of endless moderate to minor issues and lots of fights with LR. And a 3 which was close to perfect but I was always wary because fairly minor things cause it to drop to bump stops and go into limp mode. Always in my experience solved by turning off and on again but many had different experiences. In my experience the biggest problem with Land Rover is Land Rover. The software glitches are not ideal with the Grenadier but with possibly 2 exceptions I have heard of so far. The car seems drivable despite the glitches. Customer service from INEOS has so far been variable, but really yet to be proven in terms of warranty claims, but it wouldn’t be hard to be better on that front than Land Rover.
