Hi group hope you can help. I recently purchased an range rover evoque dynamic sd4. 2011. Randomly I will get in the car and press start/stop. The car just dies total loss of power like the battery has been disconnected. Even the central locking fails. If I pop the bonnet open and shut it again the power comes back on.....so weird but I need to know what it is. Any help please guys.

Perhaps the flux capacitor is failing and needs to be reset

Have you checked your battery and connections?
Oh, I must tell you that many here at LZ thought the Evoque was dead from the start.

Don't really know much about the Evoque. But if engine shuts down and it takes lifting a shutting bonnet to get it working, maybe it has something to do with immobiliser/alarm. Bonnet switch could be faulty. Not a definitive answer just a suggestion.

In the spirit of Christmas I will refrain my usual tirade about the Ejoke. Battery connections would be my first choice too.....
Failing that, burn it as the Ejoke has no right to be called a Range Rover!! (Dammit, there I go again!!!)

Datatek that is what is known as "humour" it has a subtle difference to the type of comment you made.

to avoid the animosity of this site regarding certain models.
I'd suggest you go to an Evoque specific forum..
But i'd heed Wammers advice

I would go for battery connections in the first place.

One thread is one too many on the ejoke. Why the need to post two?
Hi all. I will take all the criticism on the ejoke, but thanks guys you found the fault. It was a loose connection on the battery. Thanks for your help. Ps I drive a 5 series a real car. The ejoke my daughter's. Pps if I bought a 4x4 it would be a Suzuki sj410. A proper off roader.

Possibly a cunning plan so the usual suspects posted their comments on the one thread & the answers were given on the other?
Has clearly underestimated the membership & it's a fail
