Does the petrol engined car have FBH as standard on the L405? On the L322 petrols I have had it has always been an option but it is not in the list of options on the L405.

It's worth buying a L405 for the two batteries alone. Must have one with FBH though.

Pity LR don't have a two battery solution for the previous model. MY23 D350 HSE

I notice the new RRS has FBH as an option. Does anyone know if it also has 2 batteries? MY23 D350 HSE

For those who are looking at this thread for an answer to fuel sloshing, a TSB was released last month.

It involves placing some large foam baffles into the fuel tank, via the access hatch under the rear seats.

And does that fix it?

Yes. No noise any more.

My new RR has the sloshing issue and I only picked up on it yesterday when reversing with nobody else in car and no music.

I remembered reading this thread when I had my L322. It shows that the sharing of information is so beneficial to all of us.

My question is if LR knew about this why are cars still being made with "built in faults"?

they have purchased a bulk number of units without baffles. next tranche will have baffles.

I understand that they will order parts in advance but why don't they do the retrofit of the required parts before the vehicle gets shipped or at least get the dealer to do it?

I have to take time out of my day to book it in and mess about with the dealer. In the meantime my experience of L405 ownership is getting worse.

It's little wonder engineering in this country is all but dead we can't even make a premium car correctly. For the price of this car I'd expect no issues at all. Excuses of these are complex machines doesn't cut it, it's utterly embarrassing and shows they still lack in quality control and assurance. Hope you get the issues sorted but with issues as you've had it makes you not enjoy the car

i agree with crookedm
regardless of brand, when you are paying this much for a car you expect the components to be of the highest quality and build workmanship to be faultless.
"its a range rover. you have to expect this" just don't cut ice anymore

I have now been told that my vehicle does not fall into the chassis number range of the vehicles listed on this "known issue".

I can still hear the fuel moving around

The dealer is talking to LR and coming back to me.

Car went in yesterday to check if the baffles had been fitted at factory as my chassis number indicated that they should have and guess what..... Yep it seems like they forgot, my interior has been pulled apart, the car stinks, but I can't hear the fuel noise!

Am I entitled to compensation?

Rear wiper can't be fixed as it worked when it was tested
