I had the exact same experience bangsters and put it down to the float perhaps being stuck given it was well below freezing here in Boston. Once things warmed up the warning also went away. I think t...

I don't think that the USA spec cars get the perpendicular park option, odd I know, but it's good to hear that JLR have at least owned the problem even if they don't have a fix yet. My car was built o...
