But as a fellow owner of a JLR product, I am interested to hear what make part they are actually using, and what modification they make, as mine will soon be coming around to need doing again, as some are now approaching 6 years old...
...and having access to the warranty stats, I have a pretty good handle on the expected life and failure modes (generally switches or motor on the genuine part, add a piece of sprung plastic that controls the actuator that activates the switch setup on the chinese equivalent cloned part that is sold as the aftermarket option in the aftermarket network)...
If you want to be helpful, that is.
I have found an aftermarket part for swmbo's Evoque. Allows for simple locking and unlocking from the driver's seat and so far has proved 100% reliable. Also cost £2.99p.

I'm yet to establish why she isn't 100% satisfied...
? I hope your wallet is full. Likely causes are injectors, fuel pump, turbo or internal engine faults due to not fixing the previous problems. And if it's a bit slow to start then the flywheel is failing, which can also make them run badly.
