Wow, Meiang....I'm sorry about all your troubles with your RRS. Sounds like a horrible experience.

| Amazon (in US) has custom fit sunshades for LR made by HeatShield. I got one for my 2013 and it fits perfectly and was ~$40USD + modest for shipping. I've had it for 3 years and it works great. |

When I got the 2013 RRS HSE the dealer told me to not baby it to run in and also to not redline the tach. (My long time service guy said the same.)

My 2013 HSE (old body style) has been completely trouble-free in the past two years (about 15K miles).

I had a similar issue with my old Rover. It was the bonnet-closed sensor button failing and it drove me crazy.
For whatever reason, it would go off only at night, not during the day in the Summer. ... |

My ole RR would drop to access height from normal height over the course of a day at work when it was in a covered garage.
