Issues since water ingress

Hello am new to this so go easy.

Have a 2005 Range Rover Sport HSE which been running for about a year and really like it.

Since having a water leak - perished pipe causing rain to go in the passenger foot well from the sunroof.

I have an air bag light come on and now that all is fixed on the leak side of things and dried out - the electric seat doesn't work on the drivers, and parking sensors coming up with a warning inactive.I have had air suspension inactive come on twice but clears.

any ideas as to what could be causing these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

Sounds to me like water has got into the wiring loom or a computer. Realistically, you probably need to strip the passenger side out checking wiring connectors for obvious signs of corrosion. You could also try reading the fault codes which may narrow down there area your looking for.

This is presuming the car was ok before?

It seemed ok before - these all seemed to come on with in a week or so of one another.


The garage it went to sorted the leak but needed it back asap and not managed to do anything with the others - also said wasn't reading anything on from diagnostics

Thanks for the response

Sounds like water has caused corrosion and as said its a case of looking at plugs and connections. It's not unusual that fault show up once things dry out. Hence why never buy a flood damaged vehicle. You will chase wiring faults til you get rid or rewire it. Whistle 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Isn't this a known problem with water ingress in the footwells? There is a CANBUS splice in that location that doesn't like getting wet. Not had the problem myself but if you search for splice issues there are a few useful posts. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Hi, I've not been able to find an auto electrical specialist that I could recommend. You'd need to find a place that really knows Land Rovers because the electrical system is so complex. For mechanical work I use Autoland in Houghton Regis and have no complaints but not very handy for your location. Expect you could find a specialist in Manchester and probably at lower rates than round here! Good luck. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE
