Australia 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 SE Auto Stornoway Grey
Electronic Gremlins ?

To date nothing terrible has happened, but weird things have started to occur with the electrics in my MY11 SD4. For example, I found the headlights fully on in the middle of the day (very sunny day too) with the lights set on 'auto' as I have always had them.
Windows would go up when I pressed down. On one occasion, they went up and down repeatedly for a few minutes.
The door chime would start as soon as I opened the door (ie: no fob inserted at all).
Strange little issues, nothing important yet, but given the degree of electronics in terms of stability control and road handling, it makes me wonder if something more sinister might happen down the track.

Any similar gremlins out there?

I've read about the headlight issue before but not the other issues.

As its under warranty, I'd take it to a LR dealer for them to check and reset the ECU.

Others may say to disconnect the battery and reset it that way, but I'd take it into the dealer for a quick looksee.

It's 3 hours drive to the dealer - hence why there aren't so many Land Rovers in regional Australia. If I go down to Brisbane for any reason, I might pop into the dealer though - good suggestion.
