Picked up my rrs on friday and i love it.Just looking over it yesterday and looking under the boonet everything is great.Shut the bonnet properly BUT the hood open is flashing up on the warning display and when i lock it the hooter is sounding .Iam ringing the dealer tomorrow to fix it but is there anything i can do to fix it.

I would re-open / close the bonnet and relock the RRS to see if fault clears itself - seems to self clear a lot ot the odd problems... like a PC reboot....

MAW is right - the sensor on the bonnet is a little sensitive and a hard slam of the bonnet often sorts the problem out. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Yes mine is the same, if I don't slam it shut from a height the sensor reports that is open via the dashboard even though it isn't!

Also check that the near/ passenger side (in UK and RHD Cars) safety catch is fully engaged. Twice recently I have been driving quite fast and noticed the bonnet lifting on the left side after I thought I had fully closed it.
This was a problem with a few very early cars - it won't register on the warning panel as bonnet open either!

Recently I have also had the boot door warning me that it was open when it wasn't, and neither was the upper section. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Had exactly same problem 2 weeks ago, a good hard slam will sort it out
