Very COLD Start

Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

Today is the third time I have tried to start a D3 [ just on 12 months young ] after a very cold night.

Screen states "System Fault", and NO power to drive it. LR Assistance called, they followed me to dealership, whom previously stated couldn't find the fault, as recorded at Soliuhull, now have a registered log number with them, which the dealership are not very happy about, reason LR will now be on their back.

If I don't get it fixed this time I will be send an e-mail to Ford Motor company.

Hope this is not happening to anyone else

Happy new year
Dave Jackson

sounds like a bit of confusion somewhere.... without knowing which system had the fault (although as you could drive it, it's not going to be the Engine ECU) and was disconnected, it's difficult to identify possible causes, any info from the dealer? any idea where on the vehicle the disconnection took place?
