Howdy all - I'm getting some weird problems on my MY07 TDV6 SE...
Basically when I'm driving its like something is lose and sometimes if I hit a (gentle even) bump I lose systems like aircon. Also the door locks make a noise, radio goes off, little things like the external temperature on the dash goes blank and probably other things I don't notice... no error message as I'm going along though. Then I hit another bump (I think not sure) and it'll come back on.
This got me stuck on the side of the road when it was off as it wouldn't start and was giving all sorts of weird errors including HDC system and EPB... when trying to start it. But then it started after a while (probably only because whatever is loose is getting a connection again?)
Any ideas on what might be loose or wrong? I posted this on the ozzie LRO site too (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-zone/79928-computer-glitch.html)

Loose battery connections maybe? or loose earth point. They are on the inner wing just in front of the battery box. Also some other earthing studs behind the A trim in the footwells.

I had a simular issue ..all sorts of lights popping up , doors locking / unlocking , hazzard lights on etc etc .Turned out to be a chaffed can bus wire in the rear passenger ( uk ) side wheel arch .
Take a look here for pictures of the offending wires
