Thread: 2013 D4 electrical problem

Well the car made it home, I took it for a drive around the block, it's like sitting in a disco with the dash lamps all flashing, it has some benefits... The odo back to 00000 and according to the speedo when it does light up, the car now accelerates from nought to 70 in about .5 of a second. I have parked it for the night, but now won't start again, so will try again in the morning or a call to LR assist will be required to get it back to Southerns.

I have read about something similar on the disco3 forum. It turned out to be a bad earth point connection. I think it was located in the drivers side foot well.

I'll see if I can locate the post.

Found it:

DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - dash lights flickering, no starting (first post 3rd page for solution)

It seems there were other pre-existing issues with this particular car but, the specific issue of a flickering dash and car not starting was caused by the bad earth connection. This may be different in your case.

Definitely get LR to sort out your issues under warranty - don't do anything yourself.

Thanks Sean, the LR Assit had no luck starting, battery ok, just waiting
the service dept to open up, they will have to make a house call, as they won't be able to get a flat top up the driveway. ( you need to be a mounting goat )
I did also try the hard re-set, but with no luck.

Thanks again
Jack

Good luck with it Jack.

I hope it gets sorted out quickly and properly.

Keep us updated with your progress - always good to know the final cause and fix.

Good luck Jack.

Hopefully you will be dealing with Joe. He always looks after me, as opposed to one of the other knobs.

Had 2x chaps come out and have a look, but with no success so far, hoping for a software glitch, the service has been fantastic, I had the first chap here at just after 5.00am and the second chap arrive not long after the first chap left to have a crack to, have made contact with the dealer and they are hoping to send a tech out with a laptop, so fingers crossed. Very impressed with the after sales,
They are trying very hard to sort.

I doubt its software related, more likely to be the already-mentioned loose earth post somewhere.
