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

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.

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.

Indeed, I consistently receive the "it has failed" notification, and when they begin enumerating the costs, it resembles the national debt of a minor nation in the Far East.

I possess a 2024 CX-90 PHEV. We encountered initial issues mostly linked to software. The sole mechanical problem was the hot water heater. Mazda received a defective shipment from a supplier. For the past 1.5 years, it has been entirely devoid of issues. However, I comprehend your reluctance. Consumers are providing highly favourable reviews about the 2026 Toyota RAV4 PHEV.

All the batteries listed by Euro Car Parts for my 2022 1.8 Excel indicate "not start-stop compatible." Could someone possibly provide guidance to the uninformed?

I will be in contact.

Indeed, I am located in Gravesend.

I have used Stevensons for my Mercedes maintenance and repair for the last three years. I have seen a progressive deterioration in their service and meticulousness. I am considering switching to an alternative garage. My experience may just be a result of misfortune. Is anybody now use these and still achieving excellent performance and diagnostic capability? I want to ensure that I am providing them with a fair opportunity. Thank you
