Just something that may be note-worthy.

That FOB issue only ever seemed to happened when the FOB was not taken out then replaced for restart. Way back I told people it was a great security feature. hehehe.
But this makes more sense - almost along the same lines as the gas cap not being properly seated/reseated and rough idle.

Looks like the part number for the Evap Purge Valve is LR003489 for the 2010 LR2 HSE - I will get it asap and shouldn't be too hard to get to - down in front. I will hold off on the crankshaft position sensor.

Thanks again!!!

I notice besides the under-engine metal shield and light gray plastic tow hook cover( 2x twist offs) there is another black plastic cover surrounding tow hook (looks like 4x 8mm bolts).

Can I get access by removing that black plastic cover that surrounds the tow hook or does the bumper need to come off?

thx!

Thanks again!
