I've emailed customer care and told them the whole story, told them that I'm setting off to drive the mountains in Portugal in 3 weeks and that it's not fit for purpose ! No reply as yet?

It gets worse, the dealer has now surggested I should consider having it remapped at my own exspence to "iron out" it's problem ! So think it's time to email customer services and see what they think ?

Cheers will let you know what hapens next week but in the mean time I've bin out In it today and it's running sweet !!

They said the snorkel was restricting the air flow and took It off and surgested I try a non genuine snorkel ? The service manager even printed a list of non gen options! This was quickly dropped when I pointed out that they Fitted it and it was covered by the warranty !!

My defender has a split personality ? Since I bought it new in October 2014 it's had an intermittent fault that the dealer has failed to cure:mad: It seems that the throttle position sensor has good days and bad days ? On a good day it is fine but on a bad day it's a pig to drive ! The symptoms...

It's an intermittent fault, think it a throttle position sensor but never seems to do it when at the dealers ! They are having back for the third time next week :( Has anyone one else had a similar problem ?
