Just a simple soldering job

unfortunately not LR approved method

I spliced the wires, intertwined them, then soldered them and then used the rubber shrink wrap rubber with a hair dryer and then wrapped electrical tape. My dealer said that is exactly what they would have done. Did the same to the other side just to be on the safe side.

That really strange cos there is improved harness to replace the old fragile type
so would not expect a dealer to simply fix it


and...

LR do NOT recognize soldering as APPROVED method of repair

(i am not saying it will not work though)

My RR dealer is about a 3 hour drive from where live and are fairly new. The service manager never mentioned a replacement wiring harness but I will be sure to ask him about it. I would much rather have the dealer correct this but it was an easy fix and saved me the 7 hr round trip and a rock chip in the windscreen which has happened everytime I make the trip.

do not worry connecting wires will do the job

what i am saying is if you do it yourself save time and money
and connect wires but if you follow dealer path
get improved harness fitted (no risk of fault reappearing)

ok my local dealer fixed it in a 20 min job this morning - had a nice Latte Macchiatto too and a free car wash  All my spelling errorz are belong to me!

Thanks to all contributors - had the same fault on my 2011 car as well. Easy fix.

Interestingly, this has happened just after I started using the access height feature more often in the last few weeks - I wonder if the increased "up and down" on the suspension has had anything to do with it? 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography

How we laughed...... 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography

cause the 2 tiny cables have nothing to do with this - they don't move - they are just factory wise not very well fitted... i was to lazy to fit this myself , so i brought my car to the dealer... All my spelling errorz are belong to me!

Its connecting two wires together so hope you can manage

look for the broken wire in the area of metal covers on the top of front suspension struts (under the bonnet)
(you can undo the 2 torx and remove covers for access)

When fixed the fault will clear

I had the same fault. Looked under the bonnet... cable was broken!
Scotch Lok'd it together, problem solved. many thanks
