    L405 SOS

    Interesting.... I have a 2015 Vogue SE and my stop/start battery failed to the extent that I had a permanent warning on the dash that the stop/start system was not available (not that it ever works anyway!) but I had no messages about the SOS system. Pete

    405 Standard Vs long wheelbase

    I've got an L405 and, like you, rarely carry rear passengers. It's a big enough beast as it is and longer than most parking spaces. I wouldn't want to have another 8 inches behind me. I've driven 2 screen cars, and touchscreens seem so much fiddlier and more distracting to use than...

    L405 advice

    Sad News,

    Very very sad news. Wammers' expertise and 'to the point' comments were a huge benefit to this site and all the Landy Rover crowd. My sympathies go to all his family and friends.

    L405 Road sign recognition missing

    When I bought mine I was able to register with Topix https://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/vehicle/lookupForm and see my car's service history, find a build sheet showing all the options & accessories fitted to my car, and download handbooks etc. I have just tried logging in but the system...

    Classic 3.5 EFI Running Poorly

    These documents for testing the EFI system may be helpful. It's been a while since I had my 3.5 but I seem to remember having a similar problem which I cured by fiddling/cleaning the Throttle Butterfly and the Extra Air Valve. Good luck! Pete

    Other Head Up Display
