The rear view camera has developed an intermittent fault which can often by cured by opening and closing the boot.  I thought this indicated a wiring issue but my local garage checked the wiring and they believe the problem may be the camera itself.  They cannot guarantee this and, as a replacement camera is £302 + VAT + a fitting charge, replacement might be an expensive gamble!  Often, when starting the car and selecting reverse gear, the rear view image judders but quickly settles to a sound image.  Yesterday, I started the car and the camera fault occurred. No rear view image.  I drove about 10 miles with the fault icon registering on the instument panel.  I stopped and turned the engine off.  On restarting the camera worked fine!

Has anyone else encountered such a problem?  Is there a camera repairer out there?

Isn't there a function in the Touchscreen that allows you to have the rear view camera on without reverse being selected? There is on other JLR branded vehicles. I would be reluctant to dive into changing the actual camera, when nothing is hard and fast about the fault and my thinking would still be on the wiring where it transfers from the body to the boot lid, which is a known weak point.

If you can bring up the camera through the Touchscreen and drive with it on the display for a few miles, you may see if it glitches out - or not. With the camera on the display and the vehicle stationary, try opening and closing the boot lid several times whilst someone watches the display. This may confirm the boot lid wiring one way or other.

Thanks, Jim.  I haven't seen a function to allow me to have the rear view camera on without reverse being seleected but I will investigate further.  The 2016 model doesn't normally suffer from the boot wiring issue of the earlier models but I must admit that the wiring was my initial thought.  My local garage are pretty good on electrical issues and they tell me that they have encountered many issues with JLR cameras.
