Just put new battery in.....

Do I really need an LR garage to reset computer / or some such thing? Most people seem to say put new battery in, and forget about it / some say to go to Land Rover and have them tell the computer there's a new battery in.

Apparently you have 2 choices after a battery change
1. Fit the battery, Go to the dealer, pay approx. £80 for them to do 10 mins work on the diagnostic to tell the car a new battery is in, however it may take a week or 2 to get in the dealer
2. Fit the battery, leave it and wait about 48 hours for the battery monitor to recognise a new battery has been fitted and reset itself.

Im no mechanic but just going off what ive read on the Freel2 forum and on here.

Ah wow. Thank you. Happy to hear that I have option 2! Fingers crossed!!

There are that many 'intelligent' control units in cars these days.
I know the FL2 Auto box learns your driving style, and adjusts its behaviour to suit the driver, but it can take a couple of weeks to learn. So when you test drive it you may not like the gearbox, as its not learnt how you drive.
I would assume the Evoque 6/9 speed boxes are the same.
No reason I guess why other systems, such as the battery monitoring cant be the same.

Just fitted new battery last sunday 10 minute job. No messing with a trip to the main dealers..Cars never been better.

Good news. Thanks

Update; Land Rover assist guy came out for another issue and I mentioned this; the BMS module does indeed need to be reset. He said in the short term they'll be no issue but long term, the BMS needs to be told a new battery has been put in... he was able to do it on the drive with his mobile plug and play; so I'm happy I mentioned it.
