RE: My new to me dynamic lux

Re- 'Gearbox fault' on display.

When I got my SD4 Dynamic last January the 'gearbox fault' kept coming up on the dash, had it back to LR who said there was no problems. I read on here about the battery issues so learned to lived with it. I did mention this to LR but they just gave me the blank expression.

As the weather warmed up and the load lessoned on the battery the 'gearbox fault' vanished, never saw it at all through spring, summer and autumn but with the cold snap last week and the battery under increased load it returned and I saw it twice. I'ts a bit warmer now and I haven't seen it since.

RE: My new to me dynamic lux

Ziggy, LR are not just replacing the batteries with like for like, the new batteries are a different sort - Absorbed Glass Matt I think they are called. My first Evoque flattened it's battery regularly in cold weather and after the 2nd occassion LRAssist replaced the battery, got the car into the local dealership and the Battery Management System software was upgraded too - never had another issue with the battery charge or strange warnings on the dash after that. I just hope my current (2nd) Evoque can handle the cold weather as it sits unused for weeks at a time over the winter like the last one did! So you have to impress on the dealer that you need the replacement sort of battery. If you continue to get crap treatment from the dealer then send Pete @ LRCS an email with the car's VIN and the dealer's and your full names and as him to tell them to get their act together!

UPDATE

Modified it a little, to make it have more road presence. The fogs are only temporary , as I'm hoping LR will bring out the autobiography fog light surrounds

Hi
I didn't wrap the roof as it would make the car look smaller. I idea of the colour coding was to make it looking bigger than it essentially is. Which when parked next to other evoques, it is.

I do like the black took look so may try a wrap at some point

Very nice looking car.

Where did you get the fog inserts from is that wrap? Either or it looks great.

The fogs are painted. I was going to wrap them but the car had a a few chips there so had it painted to be safe.
I have been looking everywhere and asking the parts department at LR if I can get the autobiography ones to no avail.

RE: My new to me dynamic lux

Autobiography is still very new to the market so I don't expect you will be able to get spares yet, give it 6 months and a few will have been involved in bashes and there will be spares available at dealers. Often with Land Rover though high spec cars that need new parts also require a VIN for that model to be sent to LR before they will release the parts so if your VIN is a Dynamic you won't get any Autobiography fog light surrounds using your own VIN. You will have to wait for the after market boys to catch up with making copies

RE: My new to me dynamic lux

Thanks for the info, I'm getting my Santorini back evoque on Friday, was supposed to be last weekend but can't hurry love. I seen the autobiography with the silver surrounds and it looks great. Was hoping to add these to mine. I'll just wait and see what comes along.
