Assurance program in Australia.

Australian landrover management will not confirm that the assurance program will be run in Aus. They have no time frame or will not confirm that they will be doing it at all! RIPPED OFF !!!!

Global closing, window bounce, flat battery, poor fuel economy, key not found, air suspension slow,
noisey brakes, headlight alinment, all exist here as well, and others.
LR oz are a RIP OFF, just compare spare part prices. anyway they probably wouldn't know how to do it.

Well Assurance Program carried out yesterday. No wine, cake, chocolates or anything else..oh yes... a bill for the fuel used in the loaner.
Too early to say if there is any difference before/after the update.

Just got my chocolates and cake in a nice wooden box - was offered the choice of this or wine. I went for this option to gain brownie points with SWMBO ...

United Kingdom 2010 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE Auto Stornoway GreyDiscovery 4

I had my Assurance work done last week – not noticed any difference in performance MPG etc. Too early to say whether the ”low battery” fault is fixed, so I’m still carrying a starter pack just in case.

I eventually gave up waiting for the dealer to contact me and rang them directly to be informed that LR were not asking people to bring their cars in but would do whatever work was required at the next standard service or if the customer reported a problem. Evil or Very Mad When I expressed surprise about this (given two LRA callouts already – would have been several more but I now just jump start my own car rather than wait for LRA to do it) they went to check on the system. About an hour later I received a call saying that they would like to me to bring my car in ASAP for the work.

Can someone answer the following for me please:-

Are the dealers actually still meant to be actively calling cars back for this work? I believe the original version of the notice requested them to, but I was wondering if that had changed in any subsequent revisions.

Are the chocolates/wine a LR UK initiative (funded via the program) or is it left to the dealers to do this if they feel they want/need to? There has been no mention of any “thank you and sorry for the inconvenience” let alone chocolates or wine. Sad

Are LRCS actively monitoring whether this work is being carried out in a timely manner and if customers are being given their “thank you” gifts?


I did receive a voice mail from the garage today asking if I felt I had received “outstanding” (now that I think about it, I’m not sure they actually said outstandingly good Whistle ) service and that they hoped I would tell LRCS that if they contacted me. Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter
Needless to say I am still calming down before calling them back.
Richard

Germany 2010 LR4 5.0 V8 HSE Auto Zermatt SilverLR4

Hello,

short feedback from Germany for fuel consumption before and after the updates with my 3.0l TDV6 (RRS indeed):

Before: slow boring driving, "Autobahn" max speed. 80 miles/h, normal street max speed. 62 miles/h
Fuel consumption: 19 mpg!!!

Before: normal driving with fun factor, "Autobahn" max speed. 100 miles/h, normal street max speed. 75 miles/h
Fuel consumption: 26 mpg!!!

The update brings a more powerful and more harmonical running engine and seem to address a lot of the other problems (battery drain, ghost seats, keyless).

Me dealer said, that there was a brand new, corrected software update on 19th/20th of April (Germany) to the bulletin Q093!

Greetings from Germany

Anyone know the answer to this please - just want to understand the rules before I discuss their service with them Wink

Mine went in today - and it isn't back yet! They had trouble installing the software from the Internet. You mean they download it each time?! Or this is the first D4 they've actually done (remember it's been me chasing them to get the work done, not the other way round...)

It sounds as though they have only just updates to SDD from the old IDS, it can be a bit tricky to install if they lack PC knowlage and the understanding of scripting problems.

Their was also from LR nternet update a few problems with some of the patches which caused a calibration update problem untill the next patch was installed.

Hi All,

Had the LR assurance program completed yesterday.
I was told it was a 4hr download - sound a bit like a M$ Windows update to me.

Anyway, it fixed the windows - not sure about the MPG - will let you know.


Got the wine!
