New defender questions
Hi, looking for some help on a couple of things. The tailgate on my 90 doesn't seem to have a 'catch' on the door mechanism which keeps it open on a slight slope. Are they all like this or has anyone found a nice solution to it?

Also, the driver assistance defaults to high every time I get in. Anyone found a way to reprogramme that with the IID tool. I plan on ordering one soon.

Thanks

For the rear door, open it to the position you want, then give it a little push back towards the vehicle immediately and it will lock in that position.

My Driver Assistance defaults to "medium" every time l use the vehicle. lt's only ever intervened twice in 10,000 miles. Both times at the same road junction when l have driven up to the centre line to turn right and it probably thinks l am going to have a head on with the cars coming the other way.

However l would also be interested to know if it can be set with the GAP tool to remember the last setting, as with the stop/start function.

Driver assistance offers a degree of customisation.
One long press on the steering wheel button will give you access to the customise section on the main display.
Set your preferences for each assistance system.
After every start up all you have to do is press the steering wheel button twice in quick succession and this will then hold your settings (customise) for the duration of the journey/ignition cycles.
Hope this helps, once set up it really is no big deal every start up IMO.

Yes I found that too thank you. It's the circle button next to the diamond. I would just really like not to have to do it every time.

It’s a legal requirement to have these features to default on now and is the same for all OEMs
