2010 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 CSW Zambezi Silver

Mystery trip reset.

Hi helpful ones.......my 2010 2.4 tdci has recently has had the trip recorder reset itself and also the radio (Sony) put itself into a demo mode. This has happened twice once on the move and once after stopping and restarting the next day.
I also had a security related msg which I won’t go into here.
As it happened once on the move I assume there wasn’t some lowlife scrote hanging from the underside fiddling about.
My initial thoughts are that it may be battery connection issues, ie an earth or such which I will check out soon.
Apart from the obvious earth at the battery is there anywhere else I can look for other earthing positions?

It’ll be a start anyway

My first port of call would be the battery terminals. The ones used on Pumas are particularly rubbish and have a habit of working loose. I packed mine out with shims made of copper to enable them to grip better. Darren

Rev the battery terminals: yesterday I checked mine and although they looked nice and clean and nicely fastened I found that I coils do still rotate the earth connection. This has now been tightened up although I did have to jam a flat bladed screwdriver against the head of the bolt head to stop it from turning when I tightened the nut. It’s much tighter now so I’ll se if I get the trip reset and radio demo again.
Thanks to all for your input.
