Exactly the same thing happened to me nicam including disconnecting the battery to TEMPORARILY fix the problem . You need a software update to permanently solve the problem or it will happen again , contact your dealer asap the LR assist man should have told you this |

Had the software upgrade/download.no problems yet but fuel consumption 5mpg worse and car runs very lumpy when cold.personally I dont trust computers so the battery spanner stays in the car |

thanks for the tip Nicam. I'm sure I'll remember this next time I'm in the desert again.

The worrying thing is that the car has had all the available upgrades installed - this was confirmed in a conversation with the servicing dealer. Prior to yeaterdays total non start, the non-start/trip reset / starts 2nd or 3rd attempt problem had been occuring less frequently, but had not gone away completely. Perhaps unconnected but it was very frosty as I was attempting to start the car yesterday and after a few minutes a melted circle of about 80mm diameter appeared in the centre of the roof, just over the position of the rear view mirror. Something in there was producing quite a bit of heat - the LR assist said that it was where the Heated Screen connections were (?!?) but that shouldn`t switch on until the engine is running, so I am not sure what it was that caused this. Edit - Just realised it would be the interior light, as the door was open for quite a time as I struggled to start it - Dooooh ![]() |

That is worrying nicam sounds like you have a v poorly car has your dealer come up with any ideas to sort out all your problems ? It is very odd that cars have identical computer software problems.... upgrade fixes one and makes little or no difference with another |
