I suppose that any media coverage of the security vulnerabilities of our vehicles has got to be good news. It might make JLR take the matter seriously and offer us some sort of solution!D4 MY14 XXV - RLD/IID BT
D4 MY13 HSE Lux - RLD/IID BT
P38 RR - Sad parting
110 - Even sadder parting
S3 88" - Still going strong after 23 years of ownership
Or make muppets think I'll have some of that before they get a fix sorted!Paul.

I can't believe the whole "Recon engine" scam is still going strong.
I loved the "Your're a lady so you won't notice it has no power" unbelievable.
There was place near Heathrow that doing exactly the same thing years a go, in one case they were caught swapping the engines between 2 Sierras that had both come in for replacements.IID PRO
