LRA are pussycats.

Especially when you get a customer satisfaction questionaire, some week or so later

Oh and make sure you ask for a "LRA tech", not one of those useless "multi-techs"....

Landrover assist arrived to find out what was causing my gearbox to be stuck in first gear. I was quiet suprised to see the Landrover tech guy peering through the rear light housing. I ran out of the house screaming its the gearbox not the lights! He quickly explained that if one of the rear bulbs shorts out it tells the management system there is a problem which in turn alters the gearbox brakes & acceleration control he quickly removed the rear light cover replaced the bulb & hey presto everything was alright.
He then showed me the break light bulb which he had removed, the Y pins on the break light part had bent across & touched the tail light Y thus shorting & causing me the problem. he did say that the side light could also come on when you pressed the break pedal & that was another clue to this type of fault.
Anyway sorted now hope this helps anyone with same problem.
