2014 - L494 - ELECTRIC ISSUES

Morning,

Thought it maybe worth a quick ask here as I've come across an issue with my L494.

Morning drive to work, I get the bonnet open message - pull over pop the bonnet shut it again - error continues, this moves on to flashing between a coolant level low and then to water in fuel.

Cycles between the 3 issues flashing one after the other.

Along side this Passenger side headlight has stopped working along with left indicator.

I've seen a thread in regards to the headlight earth straps throwing these kinds of errors.
Could it be anything else or is the headlight strap a good place to start?

Unable to find any images/instructions or a part number to replace if anyone has these to hand it would be appreciated. Bow down

Cheers

As DM has said, pretty sure it will be the earthing point under the n/s/f wheel arch liner snapped off due to galvanic corrosion. Had the o/s/f go on mine, replaced it with the LR approved repair stud & checked the n/s and it literally fell off in my hand Big Cry

Posted this earlier in the month:

Quote:
2015 SVR, 88k miles, fabulous car. First fault:

The alarm has started to go off after a period. The display notes "Passenger door unlocked".

This can happen after a few minutes of being parked. Or a few hours.

Noticed too that when I drive off and the doors lock @ 5 mph, after about 30 minutes they unlock, whilst driving. If I lock them again, they will often unlock again after a random period.

My thoughts are it is a faulty door lock module (if there is such a thing) and this doesn't catch right, or overheats, or something.

Car has extended warranty so phoned the dealership. Soonest they can book it in is the middle of August.

Any thoughts and advice great appreciated.


Took it to a local independent LR specialist on Monday after not being able to lock the car for two weeks. Car behaved perfectly when there, and has been fine ever since.

When I checked for a fault code earlier in the month there were three "High speed CAN communication bus" intermittent errors (U0001-87; U0011-87; U0001-82) and a historic "Control module microprocessor B" (U1A4B-47) error, along with others.

Any thoughts on this - sounds like a similar earth fault, but no idea where this would be to check.
