I’m also getting intermittent check engine light, even while in EV mode. Have an appointment in 5 weeks (!) to have it looked at.

How do you check DTCs in Topix? I don’t have that tab there at all.

You need a "Diagnostic" subscribe plan... and obviously you need a original Bosch VCI...

Spoke to dealer today upon return from visit to UK. Explained the following issues:

    Check engine light has been on for the past month I was in UK.

    When running in electric in Hybrid mode the petrol engine would suddenly engage randomly and refuse to go back into electric

    Car drops out of EV mode as soon as the A/C or heater turned on. (had this problem before and they replaced HT Heater)

    Alert that I needed to start motor to charge battery, even though I'd just driven 1,200km the previous day.

    When pure EV mode is selected it still uses petrol engine and the EV icon on the IDD is grey rather than blue

    Frequent alerts that the SOS system is partially unavailable




He has immediately said that the Hybrid battery is the issue and he will order a replacement. Therefore this must be a know issue for them to have immediately volunteered to replace battery without even seeing the vehicle (though its been in twice in the previous 3 months for the same issues).

Glad I got the 5 year warranty! Current: MY22 P400e SE

Engine light switch on today...



BECM DTC P0A7F-00 confirm the Hybrid Battery Pack "A" Deterioration...



My dealer hope the warranty will cover the replacement...
the cost of the battery pack (in Italy) is about 13.000 euro + VAT and installation.....


Today my Dealer confirm the Hybrid Battery Pack "A" Deterioration and the Land Rover has approved the replacement with warranty.

A new Traction Battery code number 431123457 was ordered...
No idea about the time of delivery.....
maybe 2/3 month....
The replacement cost would be 12.583 + VAT (22% in Italy) + installation (welcome warranty 😅).
But..
70.000 KM in 3.5 Years and the battery is gone........
NO COMMENT...

Took the car in today to have main batteries replaced. The dealer confirmed that the batteries have a separate 8 YEAR manufacturers warranty, so that's a bit more reassuring! Current: MY22 P400e SE

Wow 8 years, sounds good, till you realize that my Td5 Defender is 22 years old, my RR P38 24 years old and my Disco 4 10 years old. All happily driving along without that worry. Oh and my Series 3 now 55 years old but lets not count that one as daily transport..

I appreciate that times move on and 'something needs to change', and ensure our collective future, but for me I rather we would move to something simpler and sustainably, rather than complex and vulnerable
