I had exactly the same (foot to the floor), at the same mileage whilst on hols in Somerset this year - LR Assist sent the AA out, but couldn't find any fault, and whilst test-driving it, the pedal returned to normal(!), so I drove it to the dealers with the AA following.
They had it a couple of days and replaced something - been fine since.

Most of the faults I have with mine seem to hide themselves on the way to dealers - quite annoying really.
At least Taunton LR actually replaced something which appears to have fixed it just from my description - a certain Stratford-based outfit completely failed to fix the minor warranty faults I tasked them with, just added 2 new ones!

LRA or the AA Chap Question You can insist that a LRA tech comes out to you. The AA are Censored when it comes to fixing LR products. The last time my D3 got recovered the AA recovery driver tried to winch the D3 onto his truck using the NS lower wishbone Evil or Very Mad I asked him to use the front recovery point and he said he didn't know D3's had one Shocked

To be fair I was given the choice - LRA 1.5hrs wait, or AA 15mins away - easy decision, I figured if the AA couldn't deal with me then I'd resort to wait for LRA.
Also it was a clutch thing - not very LR specific, likely a recovery job to dealers, and I don't care who recovers me!
