yep absolutely. Was very annoying. Didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me.

l am sure you've already done this but

Have a look in the menu to see if there's a software update available

l was able to download new software straight after delivery.

Do you have Land Rover Assist in the USA (where a technician comes to your home) lf you have, call and report the issue.

l had an issue with the transmission not always being smooth at slow speeds
LR Assist came out and did a software update, it's been fine since.

Have you tried replicating the issue?

Hey everyone. I ended up going to the dealer and they cleared the codes and ran some diagnostics. Everything passed. This was last Wednesday. Since then the issue has not happened again. If it does happen again they said they’ll replace the whole gear shifter module. Fingers crossed we’re in the clear.
