Hey, all. 2013 LR4 about to hit 100k. A few questions for the experts (as I just ceramic coated the gorgeous Loire blue and took her for an evaluation spin, the wife usually drives it but not much with these gas prices so it's been sitting a lot).

Tranny seems to rev then "catch" from a stop. Otherwise completely smooth shifting. Just from a stop the engine will seem to rev a tiny bit before the tranny is actually like, "oh, you want to transmit power?" But only a sub one second hesitation. It's annoying but not a major issue Could this be solved with a filter and flush I should do at 100k or is this more insidious?
We can't leave the vehicle in accessory mode (engine off, ignition on) for more than 5 mins before it says the battery is low and it will shut off (was trying to listen to radio while ceramic coating). The battery is pretty new though. Is this a common thing?
My wife lost the second key. You can buy them on eBay but it sounds like the dealer is going to **** us on the programming? Thoughts?
Thanks, all this forum is always very helpful.

I’d go for the fluid change and you’ll probably see an improvement.

As far as the battery, my car (with a new H8 sized battery) does the same thing. Land Rover is pretty conservative. If you just want to play music, with the car off, hit the power button on the radio volume knob and it’ll come on and stay on longer.

And a new key fob can be programmed with a GAP IID tool. The tool isn’t super cheap though but it’s good to have.

Mine does this too. I put a new H8 battery in about six months ago because the battery was weak, i thought this would solve the issue but it has persisted. It'll do it if I leave a door open for 30 minutes.

I have a GMRS radio in the truck and left it on for three days. When I opened the door I got a "battery low" message. I thought this time I was screwed. Started right up, crank showed no signs of battery discharge.

Hey Al, did the fluid change solve the transmission issue after all?
