Thanks for the info, unfortunately I don’t have a way of testing the voltage. My thoughts are that the battery’s shot, it’s just after what the dealership said in that if they replaced the battery the new one would just do the same due to the short journeys o_O

Hi, My wife's 2019 Evoque had the "low battery please start engine" warning when we first bought it a couple of years ago and the dealership said it's because the car was stood, they charged the battery back up and it was fine,...... for a while. It came back on and we took it back and they...

Thanks, sounds good.

Oops :oops: :p Thanks for the info. Did you find it was always changing gear or didn't you notice? Thanks for the info, I'll check that out.

Hi, My FL2 Metropolis is coming up to the end of its PCP and I'm toying with options. Top of the wish list is the DS HSE Dynamic, although not sure if it'll be out of my price range. However, I have a question about the new engines, and gearbox. Firstly, my FL2 has the 2.2 SD4 which has...

Hi, I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times but I searched and couldn't find it. What are the average Land Rover extended warranty costs/year for the LR2? Is the Land Rover extended warranty a good one and pretty comprehensive in what it covers? Cheers

No, two totally different things. Kick down is under acceleration and in order to give you the optimal acceleration for overtaking and such like. However, when you have a heavy right foot like I do, every time you accelerate it kicks down 1 or more gears leading to a big pause (if it's gone down...

9 speed. Awful box imo, too many gears and is forever changing. Shouldn've stuck with 6 imo.

Well been back out on the Evoque manual and took the FL2 auto out today. Drawn a line under the Evoque, drive feel bland and oh my god is it uncomfortable. After about 50mins I was ready to get out as my back, bum and legs ached and no matter how I adjusted the seat I couldn't make it any...

Well that's added to my confusion lol as some are saying it shouldn't revert to auto and then you now say it might, and from my experience it did. Just to clarify so we're all on the same page, I put it in S and pulled the paddles and it allowed me to change gear. However, if I didn't change...

Yeah, it's my first move away from performance cars in about 15 years so there's a bit of trepidation for sure. Yeah, my car changes down if I'm being lazy and let the revs drop, although it doesn't change up for you, it will bounce off the rev limiter if you let it. But with the Evoque it...

To be fair they're all very tardy compared to what I'm used to so it's all about the experience rather than speed :)

Other sites say this shouldn't happen and it should stay in command shift, wonder if it had a fault? Definitely did it is S and D though as I wondered if this may have been the case :confused:

Freelander is finishing altogether and being replaced by the discovery sport apparently.

I disagree about the evoque, I was in sport and it still reverted to auto. Thanks for the rest of the advice.

Thanks. I get the impression that they may look into things more if and when I make my mind up tbh. Once I decide whether I want one or not Ill really nail down the spec. Tbh I may end up going 2nd hand as I like the look of the Dynamic over all the others. It's a shame this is the model...

Thanks for the links. I've done the LR build and aware of the new builds hence me discussing the SE Tech and Metropolis :D What do you mean re the get a better dealer comment? Are you saying that some dealers can push through 'special orders'? I've got another set of test drives tomorrow...

Yep, will do. Thanks for the help :)

Well I've not driven the auto box but I had a right hoot in manual, I tended to drive it like a white van man :D I would never have it in auto, even when tootling, I just hate them so it would definitely be in command shift 100%. My other concern is I have a dual clutch semi auto box at the...

Thanks, maybe I should give the Auto box a whirl then, I'll just have to get used to the back to front box ;)
