seems like a significant software problem, not mechanical.

I wasn't in a ruch to start and th ekey had been in the car for about 10 minutes before I pressed the start (mis-labled??) button. Tried the disconnect and reconnect of the battery trick. Result no alarm (strange) but every (and I mean every) outside light came on and stayed on. No doubt the German boffins in the garage and laughing at (i mean working on) it now.

I don't think it's a good idea to leave the key inserted fot a very long time before starting the engine... (yes, indeed one more of those tricky advises...).

Paul means that the wires connecting to the battery should be held together - NOT the poles of the battery. That would be a very bad idea. Don`t drive faster than your angel can fly! |

Well, last year up in the mountains I experienced something similar. LR-man came, and jump-started the car. Then reprogrammed the key (which I understand is necessairy after a jump-start).

....yeah but you spelt Ghent wrong so I don't hold out much hope for anything too cryptic First time I was trying to get to Gent I ended up driving round Lille in France about 16 times - all the signs said 'Gand' and my map said 'Gent' - boy was I off when I found out it was one of the same so if you start spelling it Ghent everyone will get lost again - even my sat nav will get lost |

I don't see the problem: when I'm abroad and want to return, I simply push "home" on my GPS. |

My LR2's had similar problems. Dealer eventually found a problem with the battery and replaced it under warranty.
