You are exceedingly fortunate!

Land Rover has consented to cover 80% of the repair costs, and the vehicle is now scheduled for repairs.

Obtain an accurate diagnosis from a JLR professional or authorised dealer. Anticipate an SURPRISE! I have encountered comparable alternators ranging from 1800 (Valeo, which is the original equipment manufacturer) to 2700 (JLR, which I have been informed is a Valeo but is priced at 900 more). My inverter has also failed, resulting in an additional expense of £800. To install the alternator, the front of the automobile must be removed, requiring six hours at the applicable hourly rate. ASTOUNDING!

Do the 48V batteries lack a 6-year warranty? Is the issue attributable to the battery or possibly the DC/DC converter? I recommend obtaining a proper diagnosis. Do you possess access to a legal helpline, house insurance, or union membership? Refer to the following for your entitlements. When purchasing a pre-owned vehicle from a dealership, you are entitled under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 to obtain a car that is of adequate quality, suitable for its intended use, and accurately described. You may return a defective vehicle for a complete refund within the initial 30 days. Within six months, but beyond 30 days, a dealer is required to make one attempt at repair or replacement for a defect; if unsuccessful, you are entitled to a refund. After six months, you must demonstrate that the defect existed at the time of sale. Your fundamental rights The car must be free from defects and in acceptable condition relative to its age and mileage. The vehicle must be suitable for any specific purpose communicated to the dealer, such as the capability to pull a caravan. The vehicle must conform to its description, encompassing specifics in the advertisement, such as engine capacity and other physical condition aspects addressed. Solutions for a malfunctioning vehicle You are entitled to reject the vehicle and obtain a full refund within 30 days. 30 days to 6 months: Should a defect occur, you may request a repair or replacement from the dealer. Should this endeavour prove unsuccessful, you are entitled to a refund. After six months, the onus is on you to demonstrate that the defect was present at the time of purchase. Actions to take in the event of an error Promptly notify the dealer to report the issue. If an agreement cannot be attained, you may solicit assistance from an unbiased entity such as The Motor Ombudsman. If the vehicle was acquired through financing, the Financial Ombudsman Service can provide assistance with any associated complaints. Dealerships are prohibited from employing terms such as "sold as seen" to negate your legal rights.

Are they an authorised JLR dealer? Your warranty description does not suggest that. If you are dissatisfied with their handling of a warranty claim, consider reviewing the Consumer Rights Act or consulting Trading Standards. Regarding JLR, it is unlikely you would achieve a favourable outcome as the vehicle is over three years old.

They assert that they are a pre-owned JLR dealer, first offering a three-year RAC guarantee with a £50 hourly labour rate. However, they then stated the rate would be £70 per hour, despite their actual rates being £95 per hour. I have been informed that batteries are not included in the coverage. I would have expected the 48-volt battery to endure beyond 3 years and 4 months.

The dealer is unresponsive; is this a big dealership offering a one-year approved used warranty, or a lesser independent dealer providing a three-month warranty? You did not specify.

Thank you.

Any advice would be welcomed. I purchased a Range Rover Evoque with a 2-liter petrol engine, registered at the end of July 2022. I have possessed the vehicle for three and a half months. Three weeks ago, a battery warning light illuminated when we were driving past a garage, prompting us to request a diagnostic examination. The alternator was found to be non-functional, prompting the order and installation of a new unit from JLR. A further issue was identified, and the electrician determined that the 48v hybrid battery was non-functional. Do I have any recourse with Land Rover, given that the car has only travelled 20,000 miles? The merchant from whom I purchased it is disinterested, asserting that it was in satisfactory condition at delivery.

I also owned a CLK; the trunk lock is infamous for accumulating debris over time. It is essential to use WD40 and a quality lubricant annually to maintain its functionality.

A sticky lock actuator appears to be a plausible explanation.

Thank you for your response – I sincerely appreciate it. I attempted to utilise the key to operate the boot several times, and miraculously, it resumed functionality. Remarkably peculiar! It has been functioning adequately since that time; therefore, I remain hopeful that it will continue to do so.

A code scan may be beneficial. Depending on the scan instrument utilised, it may be possible to conduct actuation tests on the central locking control modules.

I possess the same model and year of the vehicle, although I have not encountered this issue; the car automatically locks itself if not secured with the key fob after use. It appears that the issue with the boot may stem from a defective micro switch on the handle or a potentially severed wire within the wiring loom near the hinge, as the repeated opening and closing of the boot might lead to wire damage. Simply retract the rubber boot on the loom to inspect the wires.

Greetings to all I possess a 2003 CLK that I have kept for an extended period, and it has consistently performed well; nevertheless, as it ages, I anticipate an increase in potential concerns. This morning, I dropped the children off at school and observed that the trunk would not open using the handle release. I activated the boot release button within the vehicle, and it opened successfully. Upon returning home, I attempted once more, although the handle remained inoperative. Curiously, the boot release button within the vehicle no longer illuminates or functions, and the remote key also fails to unlock the boot. I must operate the key manually. Although I am uncertain of any correlation, my wife, who was waiting in the car after my shopping trip yesterday, remarked that the vehicle appeared to be locking itself autonomously. Has anyone encountered a similar experience? Where should I commence my search? Any feedback would be very valued. Thank you in advance.

These trackers are intended to connect to the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Relatively simple tracker, however of satisfactory quality.

I would examine the fusebox via a piggyback connection; this ensures it is deactivated when it is supposed to be, employing an ignition live fuse.

Your vehicle appears to be a newer model. To my knowledge, the 2022 version with touchscreen buttons does not provide an option to connect a Toyota Account. If such an option exists, I would welcome guidance on where to locate it.

Recently replaced the 12v battery on my device without seeing any issues during disconnection. I had to re-enter my phone and Toyota account information on the main page, but the vehicle retained most other settings.

Numerous forum members appear to have exchanged batteries without encountering issues or without specific procedures. Note that the 12v battery possesses a minimal capacity, and if your tracker draws current while the vehicle is off, the battery will likely deplete.

Hello, I need to install a tracker on my recently acquired 2022 CHR using the 12V battery connections. Can I simply disconnect the connections and proceed as with a conventional vehicle, or must I exercise caution and adhere to a certain procedure? Thank you in advance.

It appears to be a problem with the starter motor. Fairly prevalent.
