Back to the dealer: heated rear screen fault

I've had the car just over a week and it is brilliant. However, returned to the dealer for a few fixes today.

1. cold start stalling (same as JustinP's experience) - left overnight with dealer.
2. squeaking from alternator belts, worse when cold.
-- they called to confirm a software update is being done for the cold start stalling, and for the squeak a new tensioner and replacement belts are being fitted. So those two are hopefully resolved.

However,
3. interference on radio when the heated screen is on...
-- apparently I need a new heated rear screen - it turns out this has a fault. I understand from a search on here there are two aerials, one of which is in the rear screen, so seems to make sense.

Hopefully the warranty will cover the work - although, apparently an engineer is being sent to assess and confirm if covered. Should find out more tomorrow.

I could not find a post related to this in the search, but I wondered if anyone had this issue fixed and replaced via warranty before?

Thanks,

My guess is the Land Rover approved warranty will not cover squeaking belts or the software update. However as you have only had the car for a week, assuming you have covered less than 1000 miles you can return the vehicle and ask for a different one, so it's probably worth reading up on this incase they ask you to pay.

Good Luck

Yeah, it will be interesting to see how each of these are resolved. The exchange policy, and "should have been found during the multi-point inspection" are a few starting areas...

It takes a few days to get used to a change of car - especially from a BMW 330 to a S/C, I mean, it's quite a change - and I do not drive it during the week for work to uncover issues (etc.), but the faults were called in within a week. It appears they were there from the off.

I will wait patiently for the update tomorrow... Neutral Aaron

Fantastic service from my local Harwoods garage. All issues fixed and the rear heated screen replaced under warranty. You can not argue with that. They even washed the brake dust off the alloys.... Whistle Aaron
