it could be any number of things. HDC tends to be one of the first messages to appear when anything goes wrong.

If the battery is fully charged, then best to get the Fault Codes read.. Duncan

Yup, I agree. I had exactly the same problem. A new battery solved it.

Did he have the engine bay recently cleaned/washed?

While enquiring with a local specialist, he did mention that based on his experience (two RRs and a D3), he wouldn't recommend traditional steam cleaning but rather a handwash with little water involved - apparently all 3 LR they did lit up like x-mas trees shortly after the engine clean.... which corroborates PaulP's point I guess...
