Hi there all and happy Easter!!
Right well I've had my truck few months now and when I had it the terrain response wasn't working but every now and again is does flick up on the dash saying special programs off when you play with it!! Any ideas peeps??
Also my parking sensors have a mind of there own!! Sometimes work and most of time they don't!! Is there anything too look for or is it a dealer job??
Oh and while I am here my dads d3 that he is selling soon has a foam a bar and driving lights and he has said I can have them off for mine!!  Just wondering is it much of a job to swop over etc 
Thanks for your help with my list of problems!!

You may need a new battery or at least fully charge your current one.

if its varta then its a replacement so shouldnt be too old - but if the battery has run flat a few times (ie if garage leaves ignition on when servicing) it might just need a good charge. or worse case replacement
I replaced the LR battery when it was 3 years with a Varta one Duncan

| Computer first, 4x4 second! |
|
My view is that the 3 is a computer first and a 4x4 second. Anything with 3 separate computer busses even if it has wheels, can hardly be regarded solely as transportation.
It was for that reason that I installed a second battery setup to keep the first battery company and me from walking. It has achieved that goal for the past few years so far, winters included.
And yes, I also have a CTEK trickle charger that I use at least once a year to sort of recondition the two batteries. I have a few jpg's in my gallery re the CTEK setup under the Traxide file. 2005 LR3 HSE 4.4L AJ-V8 petrol; Traxide Dual Battery; PIAA 2500K Yellow Ion H11 Fog Light bulbs; CounterAct LT-2 Capacitive Corrosion control; LLumar AIR80 Blue clear Infra Red blocking side window film; Liftgate manual release; Schrader Valve "air in" mod to OEM air suspension reservoir tank; Akebono ceramic pads; OEM solid vented discs; LR4 design hitch receiver; Wiggs D4 MOST bluetooth module; Clock on the Dash; 3 Flash signal light mod; Backup Camera; 2015/16 Nav Data update.

For what it is worth, you may as well check that all your tail lights are working; also did you change out any bulbs in the last while?
It seems that defective bulbs can generate more odd intermittent messages and problems than anyone would think possible - something about the Prince of Darkness still stalking the Solihull plant. 2005 LR3 HSE 4.4L AJ-V8 petrol; Traxide Dual Battery; PIAA 2500K Yellow Ion H11 Fog Light bulbs; CounterAct LT-2 Capacitive Corrosion control; LLumar AIR80 Blue clear Infra Red blocking side window film; Liftgate manual release; Schrader Valve "air in" mod to OEM air suspension reservoir tank; Akebono ceramic pads; OEM solid vented discs; LR4 design hitch receiver; Wiggs D4 MOST bluetooth module; Clock on the Dash; 3 Flash signal light mod; Backup Camera; 2015/16 Nav Data update.
