Bad news comes in 3’s

I’ve been living with the daily “Coolant level low” for a few weeks (it’s not, it’s the level indicator)
Then last week I had “Restricted Performance“ which cleared itself and reappeared randomly yesterday. Now I’ve got a passenger door which won’t unlock and is throwing the whole locking system out....
It’s much better fun when you have multiple reasons for justifying a trip to the garage Rolling Eyes Very Happy

Even better is when you head out to the garage with 2 faults and end up checking it in with three. Whistle Whistle

It’s a LR thing. Laughing Laughing

They’re generous like that, they want to get maximum justification for making the trip Laughing
