| Loss of Power re cold weather |
|
 Hi to all, I have very good news, now that my D3 has failed again due to the cold weather [4th time] I finally managed to contact / speak to someone with a bit of sence.
She has comfirmed that LR Tech support and Enginerring have now admitted there is a fault when the the temp falls to 2 degress or below,
I'm told they are looking into this problem as a matter of urgency, looks like a veh recall is it way.
The sad news they will noy coment on their latest TV advert, I suggested the D£ was being pulled by a different veh than LR, their reply was a laugh and no coment
Yours to all

I'll add to the cold vehicle problems so interested in keeping up to speed with feedback.
Syptoms om my TD6 Manual are:
1. Noticable poor starting at -2degs or below
2. Previosly unexplainable electric door locking (locked out of car with engine running)
3. Slow LCD response on dash eg Gear shift indicator changes 3 or 4 seconds after you have changed gear.
Maybe temperature related or co-incidence ???

There is a software upgrade that resolves this. The correlation with temperature is clear with your starting problem, but can also impact voltage at start-up, resulting in other "errors", which are not errors at all.
See TSB LA303-004.

Hi ALL
Yes I'm aware of the latest systrm upgrade, BUT if this sys upgrade has been done within the ast month, I think its the same one have have already had done by my dealership.
The 1st indication is a sys warning telling you that there is a FULL SYS TURN OFF.
Regards
