Hi Michael, if I was you, I'd just think of summer holidays in Turkey. That may end with a mileage somewhat near 70K

This is how they want to tackle the issue.
JLR has made it clear to owners that the recall will not affect power outputs and has released information about what side-effects to expect. On gasoline cars, the stop-start function might operate at lower engine temperatures. Diesel cars could get noisier on cold-starts and could idle at lower revs at junctions. JLR also said owners of diesel cars could see higher consumption of the AdBlue urea additive that reduces exhaust NOx levels. JLR said that “all of the changes have been reviewed and agreed with the VCA,” meaning the certification agency is happy the cars will return to the agreed certification figures "Lowering the idle speed on diesels is likely to be a simple fix to drop the fuel consumption by a few grams, but that could affect drivability of the car. “Manufacturers don’t like their car to idle at excessive revs, because it raises CO2, but there is a limit to how far you can bring them down. Too low and the car starts to sound rough and it affects drivability,” Archer said. JLR disputed Archer’s claims lowering the idle speed will mean that the cars will be trickier to drive. “The reduction in idle speed is not going to introduce any drivability concerns,” the company said in a statement. “The engine management system ensures that all of the required anti-stall devices are employed to mitigate any drive take-up engine rev deficiency.” Here's the full thing. https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/jag...ons-recall I don't see the Defender mentioned on this recall list. https://www.vehicle-recall.co.uk/recall/R/2019/049 Here is a list of the recalls for Defender in the U.K. https://www.vehicle-recall.co.uk/make/LAND-ROVER/DEFENDER https://car-recalls.eu/make/land-rover/ Mine is a 2011 2.4. I suppose it is being lumped into the same emissions category as the 2011 2.2. This seems a little unfair as the 2.2 has a DPF in the emissions system. As of yet I have had no recall letter (Ireland) but if there is a European rollout it could come later. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

Excellent research
The contrôle centres always mix it up. Mine's end 2011 (i.e. a 2.2) and therefore checked with the limits for the 2.4 which makes the MOTs quite comfy for me
And the JLR strategy counting the VIN without any difference between 2.4 and 2.2 doesn't help here ... |

Really useful info, thanks. Having received the recall letter, think I’ll wait to see how this develops...
