Thanks Ed it may come to that, but I am going to start with the connectors Willie mentions and then check the ones in the NSR arch as well if no effect after cleaning and checking the ones at the front. I hope i have just disturbed them when i was removing the arch liner. The other half also power washed the car in its three yearly clean a few weeks ago so i am wondering if water might have got in there too.You can subscribe to Topix on a day by day basis if you want @reb78. I think the last time I did it was ~£12/day. Seems steep but when you consider it's the JLRs full blown workshop and maintenance manuals specific to your vehicle it's a bit of a bargain as everything is click through and provides all the electrical pin outs and so on.
Of course one could use or write a scraper to grab everything possible whilst you have access

I'd say disturbing them taking off a liner would be hard unless you were really ripping into it, they are usually a right pain to get apart.
Jet washing might have blasted water past the seals though.
Electrical connectors in the wheel arch of a 4x4 though
This stuff is good for cleaning this sort of thing.

It's all so much more delicate and badly placed than it should be. Reading around all of this it appears that LR specced incorrect (not water tight) joints in a number of places on this vehicle that led to subsequent failures, corrosion and breaks. I am still permanently baffled at the need for an electric parkbrake in this vehicle. Why they couldn't have stuck with a relatively reliable mechanical lever operated system is beyond me. This needs more maintenance and is more to go wrong than the old prop mounted drum handbrake on the defender and D2.I'd say disturbing them taking off a liner would be hard unless you were really ripping into it, they are usually a right pain to get apart.
