Agreed.

I testdrove MY24, but received MY25.

I would not buy it if what I test drove felt how the actual car drives. I feel cheated.

"lf Lightning's car doesn't do it, this is good news but also confusing because why are all the others that are coming out still doing it?"

Mine doesn't have the fault, but it's a 2022 model.

It was my first MY25 that had the faults, all of them listed, but my MY25.5 doesn’t. I kind of think it’s the luck of the draw….. some are great and some aren’t.

JLR don’t seem to be looking for a solution….. if they even believe there is a problem! MY25.5 Defender 90 D350 X Dynamic HSE - Maximus

Ive got some update on this and ive learnt a lot about it.

Ive had quite the "discussion" with JLR and ive got to send them a video of it.

Ive learnt 2/3rds seem to do it and 1/3rd doesnt. I can now replicate it most times. Mike

Let us know how you get on. Out of interest, what are your steps to reliably reproduce?

Interesting update


I visited Honiton Land Rover Experience Centre yesterday to use the 1/2 day driving voucher.

First thing I checked when I got in the car? Yep you guessed it.

The Defender was a D300 but behaved exactly as mine (D350) Stopped on a hill in D, rolled back when releasing the brake.

The instructor knew of the issue, said all their latest cars (less than 6 months old) do it.
They have complained to JLR on many occasions so it is known about.
Instructor agreed it wasn't right or particularly safe.
