I am not familiar with L405's, but first things I would check are battery voltage, (Try charging the battery? ) tightness / condition of cables etc, low voltage can produce a multitude of faults. I would start there and also look to see if there has been any water ingress to any control units, ( under seats etc, check info in wiki )hope this helps you start the diagnosis. |

Thanks Merchy, the battery seems ok, started fine this morning then 5 minutes later on leaving petrol station these messages appeared. I’ve left the car sitting unused for 3 - 4 days and no issues with starting. It does look like the messages you get when the battery is flat and you try to start the engine. I’m wondering if a hard reset would resolve it? |

Sounds like a plan, make sure the battery is fully charged first and then do the reset, at least these first moves won't cost you anything and may get a result.

My money is on your battery, you started it, stopped, filled up and then started it again, its the cranking that will take the most out of your battery.

If you can open the bonnet you could try jump starting it by connecting to the positive and negative posts under there. I found a 'Lurgs how to' video on Youtube that showed where these are, but it should also be in your manual and elsewhere. Only Range Rovers since 1988 |

Thank you. The car is starting no problem. It’s all the warning lights that are the problem! |

Hmm. You could maybe connect a charger to the posts under the bonnet and see if having the battery really fully charged makes a difference. After that I'd be off to the dealer for diagnostic checks, but depending on where you are in Argyll it won't be that near/convenient. Can you get at the wiring loom to see if any connectors are loose/corroded/wet etc? Only Range Rovers since 1988 |

Earth points in the front wheel arches are a common area for issues like this

Thanks Mikey, a bad/loose connection makes sense. Can you point me in the direction of the earth points please? |

Apparently there is an earthing point near the fuse box in passenger footwell.
