Hi all,

Any news on this flat spot issue? Had an update done in June and made my 2012 110 smoother to drive but flat spots are still there big time.

Done 2-3k of high speed french motorways no issues...
and only really apparent on 30-40 mph - mostly in 3rd and 4th....also 2nd on occasion.
Its a definate half second hiccup.....wonder if its someghing to do with pedal electrickery?

Cheers all.

Hello,

I am not aware of any flat spot issue.

I suggest if you are having any issues then you book your vehicle in with your local dealership then we can try and solve the problem for you.

Many Thanks

Mike

Mike - what did Q225 TSB actually refer to?

Hello,

As above it related to the following concerns:
1) AMBER lamp for DPF on EU5 calibrations illuminating too frequently due to overestimation of soot loading which can lead to a high fuel content in the engine oil due to too frequent regeneration.

2) Driveline oscillation (vibration) at low speed.

3) Hesitation on acceleration after previously backing off on the throttle pedal.

Many Thanks

Mike

Mike - "Hesitation on acceleration after previously backing off on the throttle pedal " would be called a flat spot issue in most people's mind - a response of "I am not aware of any flat spot issue" perhaps unintentionally sounds very much like a generalised corporate rebuff Rolling Eyes

Hello,

Q225 came out to resolve any issues relating to this. So we are not aware of any outstanding issues.

So if you do have an issue then please take your vehicle into a dealership.

Many Thanks

Mike

I've got this issue on a May 2013 build.

Always happens when I back off and then re-accelerate in the same gear. It's almost as though the engine stops momentarily. My Disco 'best bits'

Supacat and disco,

Exactly what I have........and why Caffyns applied the update.......didn't stop the issue though and has become more frequent.

Vehicles heading to dealers for 1st service soon.

Cheers.

Hi Mike

I bought an ex Landrover Experience 110 from Pentland Edinurgh a couple of weeks ago, over the past few days it has started suffering badly from flat spots and hiccups on acceleration, if I PM my VIN No could you check if the car has any updates outstanding as I don't have a lot of faith in the dealer.

Thanks

Hi John,

Yes I will be able to see if there are any service actions or recalls outstanding.

Many Thanks

Mike
