I have a 2007 FL2 GS TD4 that in the last few days has started n the snow mode setting rather than in the General setting! I used the snow mode setting last week in the snow but it now appears to want to revert back to this setting every time I start it!

I know that the terrain response settings are not automatically selected but it seems that mine preferes the snow mode setting in cold weather! If I select General setting it stays there after start up until the next time I start?

Any ideas please? Thank you! Jos

It resets after about 6 hours back to normal, if its not doing this, then its possibly a faulty dial, or corrupt software


Try a hard reset, disconnect both leads from the battery, the hold the leads together, for the time it takes to have a cuppa

This will boot all systems in the car and hopefully sort the issue Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I understand remove the battery leads but why hold them together?

To remove/drain any residual voltage that may still be in the cars circuitry, such as in windings, coils, capacitors etc.

It help discharge any ecu capacitors as some don't discharge as quickly as others, or so I recall reading something along those lines Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Great, thanks. Seems to me that my FL2 doesn't like the cold weather!

Will try your suggestion. Cheers. Jos

Strange that you should post this. These past few mornings the TR has remained in normal whilst I have taken my wife to her office some 3 miles away. On the way back I stop on Minchinhampton Common, which is on the top of the Cotswolds,to walk the dog. On restarting the car the TR has reverted to GGS without any input from me. The Common is a snow field with temps about 2 degrees C below the surrounding area. Is the TR temperature sensitive???

completely manual, user input, unless you leave it in a TR setting it will revert back to normal after about 5 or 6 hours of been locked

I had this on my old car, and they had to replace the dial, which if out of warranty is easy enough, as they just plug in from below

my guess they had failed, and you now notice that, because your using it due to the weather and its going haywire Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Funny this should come up as I have noticed for the last couple of days that switching on the ignition has shown vehicle in snow mode, switch showing snow mode as well. Must check if mine is faulty or if car is hinting that ineed to drive differently Ralph

I read this last night but didn't have time to reply,i used GGS the other day but not for long,had to go into town yesterday and half way there noticed the message on the display and thought it was strange,car is under a foot of snow just now so will check this out asap.

Hi I have the same on my 57. Has any one got it sorted yet.

Called a inderpendent land rover garage and they never herd of it.

Many thanks.

Happened to me twice last week, I started thinking maybe it was down to me hitting the start button and putting it into drive too quickly, so I'm going to give it a bit of time. However I also checked the battery voltage at the weekend and it was only 12.05v which is too low, You can get screwy effects with low battery voltages so it may be the fact that the original 5 year old battery is on its last legs.

Now the temperature has risen a little I don't have the problem anymore. Interesting what is said about battery low voltage because I don't travel very far at the moment I wonder if the battery needs a boost.thats tomorrow's job after I have read the Telegraph! Ralph
