Are the general early issues now fixed.

nearly 9000 miles on a July 2024 build.
1) Rear door seal glue unsticking
2) condensation from the aircon in the front footwell
3) Rear sensors either stay on in reverse or don't work at all.
4) HVAC clicking from the cubby when full heat is requested in very cold weather.
5) prone to getting false positive amber alerts if I turn the engine off but don't exit the car and then turn it on again. Opening the door whilst the engine is off, closing it again and then firing up prevents that.

All of those are common issues. The HVAC clicking is like putting a stick in a fan whilst it's moving, so it's a constant click. One of the dealer QMs that was delivered earlier this year, so built after shutdown, does it too.

Obviously, I have the usual HVAC peculiarities but I largely get around them by waiting for the HVAC to fire up before starting the car. Auto heating refuses to heat the front footwells. Switching to manual solves that.

It's booked to have the first four items fixed. I suspect I will get fobbed off with number 4 as the dealer didn't know what the problem was earlier in the year and sent a video to Ineos to await instruction.

What range do you get on your diesel to a tank?
I seem to be getting around 420-450 miles per full tank, although the screen suggests 360 miles when it is full.

My Fieldmaster seems to be bug-free at the moment, (that will curse it!) Chandlers have identified a small oil leak from the front driveshaft, but coming from old Defenders, it seems trivial!

I've not seen anything shown higher than 230 on my screen.... lol maybe I should do the manual calculation next time I fill up.

I've had number 4 of your list on occasion, same issue, full heat fan goes full and is sounds like a kid put a stick in their bike wheel spokes to sound like a motorbike.
Turn the auto setting off. Put fan on full and flip the directions from screen to feet,.when it finally decides to aim at feet, flip back to screen. Or try face direction too, it hasn't done it for a while so can't exactly remember but it is a cas of moving the air direction round to free the stuck parts. Keep trying until it fixes it.
Not a permanent fix but will eventually work for that time.

Do you also have it not directing at the screen and blowing out the face vents? It's like it gets stuck so you just need to keep trying to free it up rather than leave in 1 setting.
