Doctor Diesel wrote:had the same funny stuff happen to me on a mercedes.....after much head scratching, I realised the battery neg connection had been loosened by the alarm/tracker fitter and hadn't been properly tightened.....20 seconds with a shifting spanner and all was cured (however, at least 1 hour of cursing till I found it!)
I'd check the batt connections mr confused good luck and keep us informed 
 Thanks for your info, so far LR assistance came out today, they could not find the problem and could not pick up the car until Thursday, I am taking it down myself in the morning.  This is the best car on the road today, long live LR

It is the worse time to have problems (there is never a good time) but I'm sure it will be straight forward and easily fixable. It is the best car in the world and when you see it off road you'll know it is too  DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Thanks for your replys, I took the Disco to Ottons today but they could not find the problem  it seems to be okay now anyway - they said if it happens again they will take it in for a couple of days and sort out a courtesy car. Happy new year folks This is the best car on the road today, long live LR

Confused.. apologies for my '20 questions' after your initial post ...we occasionally have some bluntly negative posts about the D3 put on by unbelievers ...Obviously..I can see now that you are a believer
I'm glad that it hasn't reoccured ...but did they confirm that they had checked the electrical connections? 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Yes all connections checked, they did say they were all okay - its a puzzle, I just hope it stays okay and does not leave me stuck somewhere when time is an issue. Thanks This is the best car on the road today, long live LR

it's possible that the protective coating on the battery posts wasn't cleaned off properly - unless the battery terminals were removed, this won't have been checked
