 I’ll let the engineers do that. I did smell it and there was nothing. |

Always on the same stretch of potholed road - could there be a loose sensor or connection somewhere in the intelligent drive system? Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Well with what looks like no leak of vehicles fluids, no simple fault codes to show connection issues, maybe it's time to look at the transfer case clutch and oil?

I’m thinking it’s something to do with the clutch. I will update after LR Assist has been in the morning.

if its clear and no smell / taste then odds on its as someone else mentioned and simply water / condensation draining from the AC system........
most cars will do this |

Hopefully it is something like that but it still has the 2WD warning problem that is happening daily now going over rough pot holed roads. I also had a scraping front passenger side brake noise but that seems to of gone now.

Okay so the LR assist engineer has been out and run a diagnostic test which brought up 3 fault codes one being something to do with suspension on the AWD system and another being the ABS not sure what the third one was but they are all new faults because usually there would be something on the system when the code shows up on the screen. He said if the code had been logged into their systems it would of been fixable there and then. So now it is going into the garage on Monday and the LR assist engineer is going to get onto the software technicians with the fault codes so they can do the patch or whatever they do to fix it.
I will update further on Monday. |

On the current product cycles and constant attention to cost, it seems it's always new tech.

The 2WD problem is something to do with the Matter Sensor. They are replacing it next Monday easy fix according to the engineer.
The brakes have been fine for over a week now so must of been wearing in. They said it is suspension engaging under heavy braking. No leaks found under the car, they said possibly only the air condenser creating water on cooling. |

imagine all this happening in the middle of nowhere on the cape york road or remote australia , certainly inspires no confidence in these products for dealing with harsh environments. Did they actually test these vehicles anywhere other than the snowy climates.
