Morning all I got into my car this morning turned on and got a steering lock message and car doesn’t start 😢 called out Landrover assist car to be recovered, thankfully I extended the warranty, but that’s today’s plans, as anyone else had this issue?

What year is it? The later D4s seem to have earth strap failure at a higher rate..
If you have jump leads you can check for this.
Link the battery -ve with an exposed bracket on the engine.
Does it start then?
Earth strap failure if so...
Good luck, glad you have the warranty. Jim
