Haven't heard of any other total breakdowns. Although one or two alternator failures have been reported.
What battery voltage is showing on your screen, if any? I hope it's soon repaired, please update with any developments. |

That sounds like they don't know what the fault is. l wonder if there's any update. l've got a few friends with Defenders, all but one MHEV diesel and none of them have had any issues with battery charging.
l know there's been a fair bit of it on the Grenadier |

Apologies for not posting an update - only excuse is having an 11 week old!
I collected the car just over 3 weeks after the breakdown - with the 12v battery and DC/DC converter both replaced to supposedly resolve the issue. It seems the DC/DC converter was the issue - but when I pushed the service team for an answer on what has caused this, the answer I received was only 'general wear and tear' - sure, after only 1,400 miles?! Apparently there have been a few instances of this (within the Marshalls UK dealer group) - and it's been escalated to JLR. I've requested a more detailed technical report which they have agreed to but I'm still waiting for this, have chased again this week. The vehicle has since managed a 400 mile round trip without fault since then, though - so hopefully nothing further goes wrong. |

l hope so as well, l shudder to think what this would cost out of warranty.
My local independent LR specialist has a lovely 2014 110 XS Utility just come in, and have offered me £15,000 plus that vehicle for my 2022 90 Commercial. l have to say, l did think about it to the point where l am going to borrow it for a few hours to see what l think of it. |
