My LR Reliability thread
Viral_Jim:
Collected the new car on Saturday, drove it home 140miles, no issues. Got in it yesterday morning to go to the local shop.... Oh cr@p
The car felt a touch rough at idle, but I did wonder if it was just being a cold diesel. So I took it out anyway and it felt like it had about 40bhp, give it a shoe full and it got up a bit, but immediately threw a "Restricted Performance" message on the dash and actually stalled as I came to a halt. ::)
So I spoke to the supplying dealer and agreed for it to go to a local specialist for diagnosis and repair with them picking up the tab. That was an interesting journey trying to stop the bugger dying in traffic. :o. Its showing a pair of codes for a NOX sensor and turbo under-boost, neither of which is a smoking gun. The specialist has sent the codes and live data to autologic to see what insight they have to direct further diagnosis.
2017, 51,000 miles, Full LR service history.... something of an unpromising start. :-\

The joy of buying used cars! You can only do so much checking and testing when you look at a car, it's only when you've had them a short period you find out why they may have been traded in!
I'm having a steep learning curve at the moment researching part numbers etc for the BMW. After years of Omega ownership it's like going back to school!

What engine is in it?

Hate changing vehicles, when I bought my Range Rover Sport (privately) I booked it in at a recommended independent & told him to do whatever needs doing his answer was once it goes over £2,000 I'll give you a call, never got that call cost me £1400 and it's been perfect ever since just requiring an annual service. All advice is to avoid LR main dealerships, hope you get it sorted they are terrific vehicles despite the problems.
