It doesn’t say what the fix is though. Is it a new trim piece or improved fixings?

Yes, complete replacement for the vehicles in the VIN range, many of them already delivered but anything sold but not delivered was to be fixed before handing over to the owner. My VIN is in the first 1100 and was handed over before the problem became apparent. Shouldn’t be an issue for deliveries being made now. It hasn’t been a huge problem for me as most of my motoring isn’t over 55mph and even that came be hard to do with all the farm and caravan traffic on the roads around here at the moment. I hear it above 65mph which is on the very few motorway trips I’ve done since delivery in June.

Complete new part on each A pillar but they were on back order at the factory - not sure if the factory paints them or if it’s the dealership.

I wonder if it could be assumed the first 583 vehicles off the line have been prototypes, development vehicles, etc?
Also, interesting to see total produced at an approximate date. Ramp up has been very measured, especially as Nitra has been on 2 shifts for a while now. |

I think we can assume all the 2020 vehicles are prototypes even those with the first modified parts that we will be road testing in the near future.

It would be nice to know if this aligns with the JLR fix/repair - has nobody posted yet what is actually is?

As far as I know LR haven’t got a fix for the issue I’m referring to. They do have a fix for the A pillar rattle, which affects only some early cars. My P300 has a later Vin and doesn’t have this specific issue.

That’s exactly the rattle my demo car had.

I tried the fix in that video on my driver’s door today - no more rattles even on a rough forest track. My car is booked to have that investigated on all the passenger doors next week along with several other items........... I’ll wait and see if the dealer’s team have been watching YouTube before I do the other three doors and if they cannot fix it I’ll let them know what the internet says!
Now I wonder if that guy has a simple silicone sealant cure for the water leaking into my car through the offside rear passenger door............that two visits to the dealers has failed to cure so far.
