I’ve had my car since the beginning of the month.
Prior to picking it up, I harassed the salesman in Hull relentlessly that I needed to make sure all updates were run on the car as I was worried about bricking it on a fast charger. He kept reassuring me that it was all normal part of the prep for a new car and all would be well.
Today I took my LR Trophy Connect to my local dealer (Brighton MG) to clear the “needs servicing” light and I asked them to check if all the updates had been run…
Almost 2 hours later I got to go home!
There were 4 different updates for 4 different management systems (with various acronyms that I instantly forgot) and one “Recent” navigation update too!
Brighton MG were fab and I’m glad they are my local dealer. It’s just a shame they couldn’t get my order to me sooner so they agreed that going for the Hull dealer was a better bet since the car was already on a boat in April.
I wonder how different mechanics with the same training can have different approaches to getting a car ready.
It feels to me like like my car just wasn’t updated at all and I got lucky nothing critical happened.
I’ll let you know if I spot anything better now it’s all up to date.
If you take your car in to your dealer - try talking to the mechanics directly to ensure all is up to date.
Oh, and the navigation update is supposed to fix the dead reconning problem.
