    A new battery may fix it but unlikely, the battery was replaced in my D4 as the first of many items in an attempt to resolve this issue with no luck. I refrained from disabling the steering lock so as to let Land Rover work through its process so they could attempt to identify the root cause... unfortunately it never happened before the end of my lease. It was the reason I replaced it. I am certain that disabling the steering lock would have resolved the issue as Graeme has previously mentioned had worked for his D4.
    Cheers,

    Mine was definitely a faulty steering lock. I suspect the solenoid inside of it. I considered removing the airbag, steering wheel, control cluster, etc to get to the lock and then see if I could repair it. But as this is my daily drive, I couldn’t really afford to be without it. In the end, the Brighton Land Rover guys were able to replace the lock only without doing the whole column and at a reasonable price (sub $1k).

    Great service from these guys, I must say. Thanks fellas!
