Service Gremilins

I had my 2005 LR3 SE (loaded with just about everything you can put on an SE) in for the 15,000 checkup last week. They said everything was normal (they had told me that they would be changing the gas tank when I made the appointment, but when I got there they didn't have any left).

Two days later I stopped at a job and didn't lock the door. 20 minutes later I got in and when I started it up the Land Rover Logo was displayed on the Nav screen (but not the annoying "I Agree" text and button) and the radio would not make a sound (but the CD display said the CD was advancing). I tried everything I could think of and finally just drove off mad. A mile later I decided that maybe it was associated with the door lock and stopped, turned it off, got out and locked the door. I waited a couple of minutes, unlocked the car, got in and everything worked fine.

This has happened one other time since (again when I didn't lock the door). Next time I stopped, I got out and locked the door. When I got back in the Nav and Radio both worked fine.

Does anyone else have this intermittent problem? Is there any way it could be associated with the service?

No i have a similar little issue. Normally I just turn the radio off and then on and it works perfectly. You can also try switching between the different inputs (CD, FM, AM, Aux).

I tried all that. I tried turning the radio off, then removing the key, waiting a few minutes, putting the key back in and starting the truck. The Land Rover Logo just never goes away until I lock the car, wait a few, then get on with my life.

NAv screen/CD problem

I have a 2005 LR3 HSE and have had the same problem periodically. When I start the vehicle up the LR logo stays on the Nav screen and the radio/CD player plays then stops, plays then stops. I have found that I can turn the Vehicle off and wait for 5 mins and then restart, and everything works fine. I have had the dealership look at it one time, but they couldn't repeat the problem. It's been about three weeks since it last happened. If you found out what is going on, please pass along.

I've only had the problem for about a week and both times locking the car waiting a couple of minutes and then unlocking it and starting normally has fixed it. It could easily be that the locking/unlocking has absolutely nothing to do with the thing starting to work, but when I waited for 10 minutes without going through the lock/unlock cycle the logo wouldn't go away (even with the key removed from the ignition).
