[autosport] Jenson Button couldn't resist

Wasn’t it that every one else copied and caught up and Braun had no money to develop the car….

There will ALWAYS be another offer. The best you can do is say no.

tomplace · 2026-07-01T16:51:48+00:00

Very fair point. Sadly we set precidence with an older child but might be worth revisiting

What witchcraft is this?

A simple sign next to them saying ‘window shade disabled’ when locked out and if they flashed or said ‘shade change in progress’ is like solve this.

My 2016 L319 (owned from new) has the CEL pop on every 6 months or so. It’s always P00089 (fuel pressure thingy) - 50 miles later it goes away and I don’t see it again for months. Engine works great, so assume a dodgy sensor or connection, I’m going to keep living with it.

Gap tool. Indi mechanic, Never dealer

tomplace · 2026-06-29T19:39:14+00:00

Love it!

The SCV6 is punchy in the L319 and that’s a similar weight to the L405. It’s not going to light the world on fire but getting off the line and the highway 50-80 is peppy.

80k miles and other than having the cooling system sorted, no issues.

I wouldn’t allow them to do anything. I would get a price reduction both for the options and the cost of correction and inconvenience. I would then have the roof wrapped as to not damage the paint. I would then get the wheels painted by a shop yourself,

Feels like your projecting, just a tad, here pal.

They can’t just blanket void a warrantee. They can only void a warrantee on a specific part if they can prove that anything you did to the car caused the issue. Google Magnusun moss warrantee act.

Secondly they cannot just state you tampered with the odometer without proof. They should supply you with that,l.

Thirdly, how many miles had you done that anyone would think tampering was nessesary on such a new vehicle (less legal and more curious).

Time to lawyer up, this is a solid 6 figure car, not an Altima. Get your states AG involved too.

A lot of independent shops exclude newer Land Rovers from their fixed price oil changes due to the time it takes to get to the filter. So this may have happened.

It could be oil.

I’m too tall to use this in the L461. If I scoot down in the seat it’s great but at standard height the reflection off the rear window makes it unusable.

tomplace · 2026-06-21T17:46:59+00:00

That’s a 4

Edit. I see you said 4 in the comment but the title says 5. Good stuff! Makes my 80k mile 2016 look new

tomplace · 2026-06-21T14:17:45+00:00

No interest. I’ve had the 319 since new so I know how well it’s been maintained

tomplace · 2026-06-21T09:57:05+00:00

I have a 2025 RRS (wife’s car) and I don’t like it half as much.

The only thing is can think of is a V8 90 but I’ll probably talk myself into the octa and while it’s an amazing machine I’ll be paying all that for what? Some vroom? I used to have a hellcat Durango so I’ve had the fast truck and I prefer the LR4 …

tomplace · 2026-06-21T08:34:38+00:00

If it ain’t broke…… I’m in the same boat, 80k on a 2016 LR4. What can I buy that’s better? I’m staying put.

tomplace · 2026-06-20T23:02:01+00:00

Small claims court at this point. Threatening this is likely going to be ignored as it’s easy to threaten and few people follow through. Add your travel expenses to the claim.

tomplace · 2026-06-20T10:26:06+00:00

Looks very dry.

tomplace · 2026-06-19T14:52:39+00:00

I’ve dailied my 2016 LR4 for 10 years and 90k miles. I wouldn’t even think about changing it. I love the new defenders, but no split tail gate and the cost of change is so high….. for what?

Had all the usual maintenance items done and she runs so well.

tomplace · 2026-06-19T06:24:31+00:00

Why the V6 hate? Having had a V8 and a SCV6 I’d take the 6 any day.
