Is the Message Centre covered by breakdown insurance.

I've noticed that the Message Centre is missing more pixels that before. I've only owned it a month so it is going bad quickly. The warranty has a get out clause saying it does no cover in cabin electrical items. I will be claiming that it is a major part of the vehicle without which you can not read the milometer. What do you guys think ?

/\ as above

Common fault and probably why it's excluded

There are loads of places that repair them for a couple of hundred quid - search Range Rover Pixel or something like that

I've found a while you wait service for £170 with remove and refit. Lot cheaper if I send it off but the FF is my daily driver and I need it for work.
I think I'll get it repaired and send the invoice in. If you don't ask you don't get.

Not having a good day, saw the FFRR on Wheeler Dealers with the new air pump and mine, yep you guessed it, it works but oh so slowly. Repair kit ordered let's see if that resolves it

My warranty covered mine, after I explained that without being able to read it I might miss low oil, engine overheating etc which are pretty serious.

I will try as you say it is a major part of the vehicle not just an add on.

As far as the EAS tried it again today and it is loads better, perhaps it had not been used for a while? Repair kit coming may not have to fit it for a while now. I may not even change the height ever but it is good to know that it is working.

Check you can get low box as well, that can stop with lack of use... (and then select it once a month to keep it working)

Piston ring replacement is easy and will help but they are pretty slow anyway on the earlier ones.... Thumbs Up Pete

Yes only 15-20 minutes away. I'm coming up to retirement, have done all my home servicing for over 40 years, just getting a little long in the tooth for some jobs now, still grates paying for something that I could do.

Booked in for 2 weeks time, insurance will pay the electronics direct. What could be the only draw back is the place is in Portsmouth, however I need to go the Isle of Wight - two birds with one stone!

All sorted and nowt to pay out of my wallet, save for the Isle of Wight ferry and B&B plus fuel.
The motor just glided down the road despite the weather! 2 months on and still grinning like an idiot.
