Broken already!!
Hi all
New toy the forum and to the world of D4 ownership having upgraded from a discovery sport 3 months ago, unfortunately, after having a lovely 3 month honeymoon I have been unable to start it and am now on a train to get the 100 miles back home 😂😂
RAC reckon an electronic fault in either the brake switch or gearbox, so will let you know how it goes !!
Nice part of the world, Kirby Lonsdale... spent a lot of time there as a kid.
Brake switch on these beasts is a frequent cause of seemingly bigger issues..

Was having a lovely time as well……
First thing I'd check before any of those would be the engine earth strap. Plenty on here about that if you use the search function.
Good luck, all part of the LR ride...

Wouldnt worry about the suspension it can happen due to angles when loading on recovery . Mine recovered sunday night has no air in front .
Doesn’t the suspension having dropped one area. Also imply flat battery?

The AA would have transported you and the car home It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
