Are you not going to check the fuses yourself? The car is 30 miles away. When I go there on Monday I will do just that and if those are OK then I will pass on the other ideas to the mechanics. I am mostly past doing my own work due to old age and associated disabilities. Getting old sucks. Big time.

Right. Thank you folks! Auto electrics are definitely not my thing but there are few good points being made. A friend has suggested that it could be a faulty earth but he is an Audi expert so what would he know😀 Any thoughts? "They can't plug in the diagnostics, so of course they can't figure out what's wrong " I think you might be exactly right or they cant be bothered because they have lots of other less boring jobs to do. Thanks again and please keep the ideas coming over the weekend. I shall go back to them with your ideas on Monday.

Used to post on the site years ago in the S3 & Disco sections. Back again because I have a problem that is baffling every local contact including two LR specialist garages. 2011 Freelander 2 used by my wife has lost all electrical systems. The clutch gave out, this was expected and the car was already booked in for the replacement but it failed a week prior to the arranged date. The car sat in the drive for the week and then the truck arrived to lift it to the garage. The fob would not work, we got in with the key and then found that the whole electrical system had failed. Dead as a Dodo! No dashboard, no engine, steering lock on so can’t even be manoeuvred when pushing it. The battery is perfectly OK and no obvious faults have been found. The Autologic computer will not connect to the system as it can find nothing to connect to. Has anybody come across this? I have heard of another case but the person involved cannot be contacted to find out what happened so we are at a loss to know how to move forward. Cheers. Robin
