Or, am I unique in that they're reserving their cr@p service for me specifically??!! I just don't get it - Surely it is happening to loads of folk and they would have nipped it in the bud a long time ago? It's just disgraceful service IMO.Tel wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 3:11 pm A lot of MOT centres are too lazy to read the VIN number and establish the car details, so they access the OBD port and extract the data that way.
As we are all well aware, this is fine with very few OBD tools, but the majority will leave the car in a state of Limbo.
I didn't want people connecting/disconnecting willy, nilly so bought myself an OBD lockable cover. Been in through services with JPR no problem...I just tell them what's fitted and that I don't want any updates...thanks all the same!
Did they say what the issue was? When the issued happened with me at the MOT this time last year, I just drove the car straight back to them and told them to fix their mistakes. They tried to say it was coincidence and that lots of JLR vehicles suffer from low battery warnings. The car didn't miss a beat in the 1 and a half year's of ownership up to that point. I'm just amazed that they allowed the same thing to happen again. I can't speak to them about it because I would lose it.
At least it's an easy fix - even for a technical novice like me. Only thing I had to do was set the date but everything else is back to normal.
