    Could possibly be a Canbus wire short to earth or loose earth somewhere.
    See the below thread of a similar problem I endured.

    and another thread where Scott LRD414 had a similar issue but in a different location to mine.

    Good luck!

    Hold smart key in recess under steering column and press start.
    Reset procedure is in the handbook.
    Happens if key is out of the car when you switch off. (Out of range).
    Regards

    Thanks Mangus

    Read those threads and after talking to Tim at traxide about the new DBS I had just installed I opened the bonnet. DBS80 light on--good. Took the battery cover off and fiddled with the little loom in front of the battery and went tried and it started everything as normal. Now just got to find the exact short/loose. connection. Thanks for a great forum.

    Cheers

    Mine played up when the vehicle was a yr or two old,intermittently.
    Very frustrating.
    particularly as LR knew there was an issue,and the first time it did it we were over 1000k's from the nearest dealer.

    Anyway they changed something in the dash and did a software upgrade,all good.

    Opening and shutting the front doors affected mine as well,that is if you opened and shut the passenger door when the not found message was up,it would vanish and not appear for a day or two.

    Thanks for the help all. Followed up Scott's PM and have tidied up and cable tied the couple of cables around the DBS and that seems to have sorted the problem. Trust it is a long team fix.


    Cheers TED
