Sorry guys. I have been MIA for a while.

I'm very happy to see so many posts about the same issue - even though I'm saddened by a brilliant car being ruined in a large way due to one issue - which never used to be there on the ones before 25MY.

It is truly incredible that all these cars pass quality control from factory. Surely one would expect JLR to have measures in place to test a few cars in a batch at least. Seems like it's either not being done or even more shockingly, being missed by quality control.

To add on a point from earlier, I can confirm D250 also has the exact same issue. Basically - all new Defender Diesels are doing it (have not driven petrol 25MY yet). So I would assume it does not have anything to do with torque being too high for the ZF transmission to handle as the D250 has 570N.M which is less than 24MY D300.

I hope that with testing, JLR dealers are finding this thread and attaching it to their communications with head office technical - it would be the logical thing to do.

Everyone, please keep posting as a lot have you have been saying - the more response we get the higher the likelihood of a fix from JLR.

I will continue monitoring and advise if/when I hear of a technical bulletin being released regarding this.
