| Old Problems on D3 now showing up on D4 |
|
My D4 (my13) Lux has started to show same old problems as my old D3.
Going back to the Dealers tomorrow 'for suspension faults, keeps locking itself in 'Normal Height only available' until you turn the ignition off and back on again. Then a very jerky lift to 'Off Road Height' and like this morning not making the grade, even after about 2 minutes trying, faulty compressor may be??
The second problem was never D3 related and that is surging and supersonic acceleration out of round a bouts, almost smacked a slower car up the back the other day, frightened SWMBO so much she tried to grab the wheel, never had this problem before, although well documented on this site. I have always been able to manage this with gently use of the throttle, but obviously not anymore! So to the Dealers for an upgrade.
Let you know my feelings later.

Of course, that will happen, will come out all in the D4...becouse is the same car with other headlights ... someone thought that LR would change their known defects in factory assembly line? ... those are stories for gullible ...
....WE NEED TO WAIT TO D5 .. MAYBE... TO SEE THE OLD PROBLEMS SOLVED.....
................AND POSSIBLY THE APPEARANCE OF MANY OTHER UNPUBLISHED  lost in translation!

New AMK compressor needed. Make sure they fit one. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

I think it's fair to say that most issues have been ironed out between the D3 and 4 ...but they are still machines and machines can still go wrong  I'm sure they will sort it for you 
Do you know the build date of your motor ? 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Just been to pick her up!. New Suspension compressor fitted, and Upgrade to gearbox.
Suspension feels a lot stiffer again, its quite surprising how the weekening suspension creeps up on you with out you being aware. I cannot comment on the gearbox upgrade as I have only covered about 20 miles but on resetting the average MPG for the journey home, that is certainly a lot better showing about 4mpg more.
Only time will tell.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
