Also does anyone know if you can disable the powered boot as I'm paranoid I'll press the key by accident with the bike rack on? 2017 MY - Dynamic, same again!

Firstly, is it a decent adaptor (eg Thules own one?) as that could be a problem.

It's Thule's own adapter as supplied on the brand new rack which does fit perfectly and nice and snug.

I am extremely vocal but in fairness they couldn't forsee (or should it have been part of the pdi) but most problems in life can be solved. It's if the solving part becomes a problem that I'd then have an issue. In fairness they sorted it there and then within an hour, they would have picked the car up (but I didn't want someone else driving it) so no real issue.

I'm afraid LR dealer staff are not taught to make the sort of gesture which repairs damage and creates goodwill.

Dealer says the boot can't be bypassed so I remain nervous as hell with the rack on, pressing the boot opener on the key would be pretty easy!

Logically when the towing socket is connected it should disable the button for the electric tailgate - in the same way it should disable the rear sensors and leave the front sensors active but this is a Lr not a German engineered vehicle so we Brits must grin and bear it because we just love our LR's

At least on the 2014 you can open and close the boots from all the buttons unlike the 2013 Mike
