We have just replaced our 2018 Discovery Sport D180 with a 2021 D200.
We experienced no problems with the 2018 car or our tow home using a LR loan Defender, but after two tows the new one has developed some weird electricla issues. After towing we have experienced:
Key Fob not opening car, loss of all functions on left hand stalk such as headlight control, indicators and now washers. Headlights from auto setting default to dipped headlights and unabe to change. Can happen in middle of journey. On shutdown, daylight running lights come on and unable to switch off.
AA did hard battery reset which worked for a bit but fault re-occurred while towing.
Anybody have any ideas about possible causes? The car has been recovered to a dealer who recharged the battery and says it is now OK and delivered it home. I'm sceptical about that and wondered if anyone has had similar experiences or ideas of what might be at the root of it all.
Other than that it's a great tow car.
