My 2007 HSE TD4 has just gone out of it's 12 month "Approved Used Land Rover" warranty and before it did I got the local main dealer to carry out a service.
A residual issue is that occasionally there is no audio from the radio unit, or on other occasions it switches itself off. I'm told by both the dealer and LR Warranty Dept that this is a known fault that can be cured by upgrading the software that controls the radio, but that this is not covered by the warranty.
My local dealer has quoted £60 to perform the upgrade. This seems a stupid situation to me where to have a serviceable radio I have to fork out for a software upgrade - which in my simple view means that there must be something wrong with the original software?
Has anyone else experienced this and is there a remedy which negates paying out to LR for the upgrade?
