I think it's just one of those things.
My Disco 3 did this from brand new out of the box and still does. If it's parked nose uphill it goes boing, downhill no boing.

I just live with it.

So does mine

Which, if you are running mircosoft rather than Linux, is never!

Is Apple Linux based - sorry if this is a numb question. I seem to remember some bloke saying it was?

It operates similarly, rather than using the sh***y hybrid kernel system windows use....

To add, mine has never done this, but then I never leave it in reverse having parked! I do also start it with the door open with no issue

Mine has started doing this just today, can only assume it’s related to the cold weather, but there’s also a different 2 beeps for the cold weather warning once the car is started!

So I’ve got 3 beeps, one when I turn the key in the ignition without turning it on, then the normal double beep for cold weather! Very puzzling.

That's one hell of a big box

Cold weather is great for revisiting old threads.
