Perhaps we should club together and buy Land Rover some spanners. I've found all three door stay latches loose, a loose earth strap, a loose heat shield and a loose spare wheel bracket.

Yes I had the same on the dealers fourcourt when I took mine out for a spin, whith 3 miles on it. I put it down to the alarm and asked them to look at it.
Happened again the other day but just the once, and locking then unlocking cleared the problem. 1999 90 TD5 County 1943 Ford GPW Jeep |

Not encountered it on the puma but my 300tdi has been known to do this (usually at the most inconvinient time and when maximum embarrassment is likely), resseting the alarm works on that too. If it aint broke its just waiting.

Hi
Yes we have this problem all the time this even happed even when LR enginer was test driving are vehicle it did it 3 times to him but as usual it still does it. So it looks like another trip to the dealer. |

Hey I got the same ask dealer they said it how LR has made it, so if you get out leaving keys in it no one can then nick it. As it will not start or start and run for 5 to 10 sec then cut out and try starting it nothing take key out wait 30sec. Know the good bit it should start but 30 sec seem like a life time when you want to get going somewhere

Is your key the 2008 type with the big black end parktag ? Dave |

When you have this problem, release the Hand Brake and try again. If it cranks over and starts you have a bad earth between the chassis and battery

No, my key is the old design. As i said before i leave them in all the time without any problems and there's nothing in the hand book concerning this function. I guess theres a problem elsewere.

Something similar has happened to me but I put it down to this (an extract from the owners manual on page 15):
