Approach locking can be subject to relay attack.

 

I literally just had it happen again this morning. it's pretty uncommon, but it still happens. very frustrating when it does happen - I stopped to get coffee and when I went back out and turned it on it was fine.

 

Happened a couple days ago as well..

 

I think the fact that so many LR owners are so quick to forgive every sin committed by LR (things like "I dont expect perfection...etc) has left LR with very little motivation to rectify these issues which have aggravated their owners since day 1.
As long as demand remains high among prospective owners LR seemingly puts little effort into fixing the ****les.

Sorry, but when I pay 70k+ for a vehicle I expect things like the radio to work.
I dont expect mysterious crackling noises at speed.
Maybe Im picky but see how picky LR and your dealer become when they want 75k for a Defender and you show up on delivery date with 73500. Close enough, right?
No.
They want every bit and thats a 2 way street.

If I wanted creaks and ****les I would buy a really cool Ford Bronco.

Collectively we need to pressure dealers to fix these things so they eventually have to find the cure.
