Hello everyone I have just bought a second hand 2017 Discovery TD6 SE with 86,000 klm, I have driven it for about 200 klm all fine, I parked it and fitted car seat covers part of the way through doing that a warning came on the display that the battery low and to start the car which I did, I finished the car seat covers and took it for a drive and about 5klm into the drive the dash displayed "engine overheating" and the temp was showing hot, I stopped checked under the bonnet checked the fluid reservoir all ok, no steaming or smells of heat, the fans stopped so I drove on and the temp was normal for a few klm then it started to rise and fall, I stopped to chjeck again and double locked it hoping it might reset, after a few klm the temp guage starting moving again but it was erratic I drove home and am at a loss?
