There is a latest TSB (No. LTB00197 issued 20 Jan, 2009) referring to "Poor Cold Start Stumble" concerning 'intermittent poor cold start' affecting RR SC and RRS SC only (except Japan).

Get your dealer to look into this. Malaysia Boleh!

Hey Sexpot Pauly

Here is the moving seat bulletin

"Bulletin LTB00176v2"

Can't comment about warranty etc but I am sure it can be done on any car, you just may have to pay some quids.

Since I don't currently have an RRS (LR is replacing my vehicle after excessive warranty claims) I can't comment on the longevity of the seat fix but it did seem to work while I had the car. I believe that the seat base was replaced under the bulletin and then the runners after a recurrence of the problem so you may need both done.

Hope this helps

SP, does your car have the stock interior or is it also "tricked-up" like the outside? I would think no Land Rover dealer would touch it if it is tricked up unless you paid them, however you could approach the company that "pimped it" and see if they would fix the problem. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

A dealer who realises that close to expiration of the warranty there is still a need for a bit of goodwill then! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The details are just what I said earlier.
Tell the dealer you're aware of it and ask him if that would be the cure of your troubles. Malaysia Boleh!
