Hope they get to the bottom of this for you, it’s so annoying. I’m glad to report that I have not had an occurrence since the workshop visit on 20th October. Only driven a few hundred miles since but I would still have expected to experience the fault several times if the fix hadn’t worked. Good luck. 2021 90HT Fuji with Black Pack, 22" Sawblades

I had 2wd message on Saturday after driving for 10 months without a single issue. Drove on Sunday and today and no message so far. Going to wait for another message and if does appear will book a visit to the dealer. I’ve got a filing if it happened once it will happen again

Welcome to the club brother.

Mines developed a new fault, a terrible screeching from the rear whilst driving

, possibly a sticky brake calliper.

5 months of perfect ownership then it all goes to hell in a handcart, love the car dearly but my patience is now wearing thin. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Well it went in yesterday to try and fix this, it’s booked in for a week. Still no updates from the dealers, though they’ve covered 73.2 miles in it. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

It’s had 4 test drives in 2 days, the longest being 33 miles. I don’t mind so long as they fuel it up as they want their loan car returned with a full tank, and more importantly it comes back fixed. I’m assuming by the amount of test drives they’ve been messing around with software updates again. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Day 4, it’s still in the dealers, it’s had another 17 mile test drive. From what I’ve been told they are either updating the BDM controller or replacing it, either way they needed the spare key so dropped that off this morning. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Called dealers on Friday, apparently it’s fixed but they wanted to do another test drive to make sure, judging that I’ve heard nothing and it’s done 2 test drives all hasn’t gone to plan

it’s done just shy of 200 miles in test drives and we’re still no further forward.

I’ve been patient this week but time to apply more pressure, I want a fix or LR replace the vehicle! 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

It’s home, dealers driver dropped it off this morning, it was apparently fixed on Thursday but had to undergo a few more test drives to make sure, and no fault occurred during those, unlike the previous test drives.

So hopefully all is well. I’m glad it’s back, didn’t like the F-Pace. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

They haven’t given me any paperwork, might be in the glovebox, but as far as I know they’ve updated the BDM controller along with other modules. It’s all software as far as I’m aware. They’ve been working with JLR technical. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Did the dealer replace all the fuel that they burned during all those test runs?
