My new to me dynamic lux

Hi all
I've just recently purchased my first land rover. A 2011 sd4 dynamic Lux.
Ive had a few hiccups along the way. Like a gearbox fault after four days. But I'm pleased to say all is fixed now with a new differential module and hopefully it's plain sailing from here.
So far I've changed the 'land rover' lettering to black and added some 3dr bonnet louvres.

Future plains would be the black exhaust finishers and perhaps a remap to get rid of some flat spots.

Looks great!

When I get in mine, even after a couple of years I still really love it, not many cars in my ownership have done that.

re: the gearbox fault - loads of threads on this - my recurring gearbox fault was nothing to do with the modules (despite them saying otherwise), it was a dodgy battery, it would flash up when you start the car, then go out.
Keep an eye on that!.

Thanks.

I will read up on the gearbox problems some more.
I've purchased a bluefin from superchips today. I'm impressed so far with it. The flat spots are almost all gone. I think to make is perfect it would need a tcu remap. Has anyone had one of know of anywhere that can do it?

One annoy niggle that has developed is interference coming through my speakers. I've not had a chance to look up what may be causing this.
Has anyone encountered this?

Thanks

what sort of interference (like alternator whine?), and in what circumstances? (ie, on FM/DAB/ipod/tv/Bluetooth/All!)

It's sounds almost like a faulty connection. Which is what I put it down to (my USB from my iphone)
Then I tied Bluetooth and the same noise too coming from all the speakers. This was again the case with sat nav, radio and using my phone.

The final straw was when it was happening with nothing on.
The noise is intermittent which makes me think something is 'interfering' with it.

curious....what kind of "hood vents" did you install?

For now i fitted some 'Hawke' hood vents. They are just fitted by 3M tape.
When time permits i will source some proper ones and get it to a body shop.

Mat, you need to get back to your dealer for the stereo crackling.
There was a new software released on the 5th October last year for exactly this issue.... I know, because I (and many others) had this problem.
it occurred when they changed the digital channel frequencies... as a temporary fix, change the TV country to 'USA'... it will disable the TV but should get rid of the crackling until you get the software update done.
(I know it sounds unlikely, but yes, it does interfere even when you're not watching the TV).

Thanks again.
I've booked the car in for the update next week.

Had that myself dumbass dealer had the car for over a week and wouldn't change the battery until I got LR HQ involved. One new battery later the fault went away, instantly. Although it does sometimes return when I leave the car unused for a while however, a quick charge soon fixes that (thus proving that it's a battery issue).

I've gotta say the Bluefin transformed my Evoque, like you say no more flat spots and awesome power right when you need it. Best £360 i've ever spent on a car

A proper rolling roll custom chip is a better option, Superchips have a network of dealers, however I live in Sweden where no one tunes RR and quite frankly I'm amazed at the Bluefin results so wouldn't bother.
