Hi
I have a disco 2001 td5 and on 3 occasions now it completely die electrically when i selected reverse as if someone removed a battery lead. I checked battery all connections are tight.
The disco was parked up for 4 days and we had alot of rain.
When it dies if i turn off the ignition key and restart nothing happens no lights at all and then for no reason when key was in postion one lights all came on only to die again instantly when i select reverse.
When i do get it going everything works fine drives no problems and i can select reverse without any issues but as its happened now 3 times im very wary as i could be stuck for up to 5 mins when it does die anyone have any ideas?

Are the reversing lights coming on ? Are they a bit dimmer than usual ?

What are the earth connections like ?

make sure it's good connection in C0028, if that's OK next time when it happens remove fuse F25 and see this helps though if the trick with F25 works and you want to drive it so be aware that you have no brake lights then, is it manual or auto?
