Sorry, should of been clearer. Relating to just the screen issue, i read that it is a recognised fault for l322 that when the cold weather hits screens don't come on immediatly and apparantly the fix is a RR sat nav software upgrade, but unsure what this means?

hi nick, have you had these faults all the time you have had the car or did they start when lets say you had the front done.

Hi, standard Sat nav system with just the tv in motion lead from you, but fitted that months ago and no issues. Seems to have started since the cold weather and early morning starts for work. (screen issue)

Like your thinking. Think i will def get battery tested. I only have the standard cd based system so don't think the copy will be any good but thanks all the same. |

Gone from being intermittant fault to on all the time now? Would this still indicate battery or something more sinister?? |

IIRC it states in the hand book that when the battery charge gets low then systems like satnav, air-suspension, terrain response and basically all the fancy systems not required to drive the car at normal height will be shut down - all your problems point to the battery Nick. Somebody recently found that even their new battery wasn't staying charged and it was the electric steering column wasn't switching off when it reached the set cut off and the motor was always running - on RRSport we found last winter quite a few cars suffering from flat batteries also had corroded connections to the upper tailgate release switch due to condesation and leakage into the rubberised switch box. On FFRR water can also get into the rear 3/4 space where the audio/satnav/tv systems are located too which could be causing a discharging battery. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |

Think i'll spash out on a new battery as tainting my enjoyment at the mo!! Also got a weird surging and no accelaration when started last night. Wouldn't rev past 1200 revs and went round block in 1st gear with hazards on, turned off/on and problem went!! Related?? or just range rovers!!! |
