I have pasted this into a topic of its own hope this is the solution. Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment.

Cheers Stu, I have the sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't work PDC so when the car is next in the dealers I will mention it! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Biggles, did you $pay$ for the GTR subscription? Is there any way you can post the other 4 or 5 issues w/ this vehicle since LR want us to pay to know what exactly is wrong w/ our vehicles?

If you have a problem, you should take your vehicle to your service department. They use these exact documents to help "fix" problems reported... it's their resource! You should not have to do their job. These documents are technical service bulletins, and not "recall notices" or "customer notifications."

Excellent Biggles - forewarned is forearmed or whatever it is they say! Thanks for this.

Cheers
Steve 

Except when my local dealer fails to fix the problem, I want to know my sh*t, I don't mind taking the time to find something out on an automobile I drive at over 120mph, thanks.

I'd find a better service department. The point is, don't let your service department slack... they get paid to fix your vehicle, under warranty or not.

But if you want to read the technical documentation & bulletins, Land Rover has made the GTR service available to anyone for a fee... sign up...

I also wouldn't be so sure the service department is even aware of a lot of these documents. When I first broached this subject with my dealer earlier in the week, I even quoted the GTR article number and still they said, "no, not a problem with that!". So now I have the hard evidence I shall be able to phone again and explain exactly what they need to be doing. This isn't just LR - this used to happen with BMW service bulletins too.

Thanks Biggles for providing the information instead of having other people who are interested in helping out there local shops fix their cars, pay for this information and/or telling them to find another shop. Cheers

Is bad service behavior really that common in the world of Land Rover? I'm very aware of the general corporate commuications issues, but the service departments I've worked with in the states are quite aware of their technical resources and don't simply blow customers off. It doesn't make business sense, as they are paid by Land Rover for warranty work. The more, the better. Are your service advisors that clueless?!

GTR is a great resource, though, and it's great they don't limit it to Land Rover service departments.

Biggles I think it has a lot to do with the way the warranty claims system works within the dealer network. The client requests something be looked at, car goes in and the reception prints out a job sheet, mechanic gets jobs sheet and sees there is a fault to investigate but more often than not he is not aware of the GTR system (that requires the brains of the service manager who has a computer and printer on his desk). Mechanic spend half a day trying to replicate the fault with no success.................. then service manager realises he has GTR sheet on this fault but it says the fault should only take 25 minutes to rectify yet mechanic has already spent 2 hours on the job. Who is going to pay for the hours claimed? Oh dear we had better tell the customer to keep an eye open for the fault recurring and ask them to bring the car back in next time it occurs and then we will know what to do! Frustrated client, bean counters happy as labour is covered by "unable to replicate fault" remark on service report.

I will be very interested to see if LR have rectified a design fault with the clever doorseals that the L322 RR had in the Sport. If your car lives outside like mine, be prepared to have to force the doors open when there is a heavy frost....................... the thin double seal that makes RR and RRS so quiet and a lack of windnoise freeezes between the door and the body which means either you cannot get into the car or you rip the seal off! It was only through reading the GTR for L322 RR that I found out there was a warranty fix for it (it was only partly sussessful), the dealer was unaware of the cure and that a redesigned seal was available for cars in a particular batch of VIN numbers.
Frequently it isn't bad service, it is ignorance of their own info systems that lets many dealers down. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

The frozen door seal problem used to happen on my previous X5 and also on my old P38A.
On the BMW X5 though the problem was even worse because when the door did open you then had the problem of the door locking mechanism being frozen and you could not close the door.
BMW said it was not a problem and it was due to the english weather.
What next trains stopped because of leaves on the tracks.

I may have missed it, but could you advise how to access this GTR information? Thanks,
