Discovery Sport Electrics

Sorry I cannot advise on the electrical problems but they seem common to the JLR products.

Had  lovely Jaguar XF Sportbrake and when it needed a towbar fitted the fitting somehow blew the electrics and it had to go to the main dealer who had it for 6 weeks until a fellow came out from the factory and did a hard reset of the electrical system.

Jaguar was replaced by our current Discovery Sport and I agree it is a good tow vehicle. You mention key fob problems, just do not lose one. We mislaid a keyfob and after a while I went to the main dealer to get a quote for a replacement key fob. I was quoted £1,300. It was £300 for a new fob and £700 for a new signal box to work the fob signals. Fortunately the missing fob turned up the next day, I kissed it!

We had a Discovery Sport (overall very reliable and a superb tow car) and once found it kept unlocking when parked. A friend had the same model and his tailgate sometimes open and closed when parked. Both were fixed by a software update. In my case I don't think the software was out of date, just having it reinstalled seemed to be the answer.
