Try cleaning them first. They are touch sensitive, chances are the dirt or oil is registered as a touch of finger.

Evoque SD4 Coupé Dynamic, Fuji White, Santoriny Pano roof, Lux pack, RSE, style 8 wheels, along with everything else.

I also found in my car now gone that adjusting the rear view mirror got your hand close enough to switch the driver's side one on. You don't actually have to touch the surface to operate them, just put your hand very close should be enough

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

There is a TOPIx bulletin about this issue - it requires the replacement of the PCB in the light assembly.

Unfortunately my TOPIx sub has expired so I can't get the pdf off, but have a look through the list of SSM's and you should be able to find the bulletin number to report to your dealer.

Thanks for that, I mentioned it to Lookers when my car was booked in and they told me they would charge an obscene amount of money to diagnose a no fault found, so I will tell them to look at Topix. I have the problem with driver's side reading light.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

It's not unusual to (try to) charge for stuff they can't diagnose.
the warranty covers stuff they can diagnose/observe.

Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.
Should be end of April (was March, then April, then end of May/June).

If you can demonstrate the problem to them then they can't play the no fault found card and try to charge you

Bruno, I hope all is well with you and your family over there. My ship's crew have been badly hit with not being able to communicate with family out on the islands
