Radio & Nav Panic Attack
So my 56 plate SE had a panic attack the other day which i brushed off as just typical Land Rover antics.
I was cruising along at 40mph when i was suddenly displayed with every fault and light imaginable on my dashboard, sat nav screen turned into something from poltergeist and my radio started emitting a high pitched screech (im not suggesting my car was possessed, but im pretty sure i could hear voices). Sat nav returned to normal, lights disappeared but radio was knackered until i could pull over and turn the engine over again to reset it.
Ive since had nothing for a few days until today when i got in, the radio volume has been dipping in and out, but no warning lights or nav issues. Probably totally unrelated but my brake light is now out...
Anyone else had their cars possessed?Getting fed up of stalkers

I suspect a few might have had them re-posessed.

My radio has done the same. no dash lights though. It seemed to happen after I had started the car and stopped it a second or so later beacause I forgot something. Came back a minute later and started it and I had the same thing from the radio - static and a screeching sound. It didn't go away until the car had sat overnight. Been alright since then. Also, very occasionally, the sat nav used to replace a road number with static! So the nice lady would announce "take the A34 etc" and A34 would be replaced by a nasty screech. It's been OK since I fitted the D4 sat nav.
I have since had the car exorcised.

Take the A34? Ours won't recognise this road (the Winchester to Oxford part) when planning a route, wants to take the M25.
