wife went shopping came back to car hand it wouldnt start,through up system fault,no radio,no satnav lost all power to windows etc
came out of car reset alarm and went back into car tried engine indicators flashed from left to right then full hazards
radio display came on but no sound or satnav
the car was behaving really bad stuck in park and handbrake stuck
landrover assit couldnt get there for 3 hours so tow truck towed the car into rocar moores at huddersfield.it took mechanic 40 mins to get it out of park and handbrake off to get it on low loader
car has just done over 2000 miles first problem and no doubt not the last
no coutesy car until the morning

sounds like a flat or knackered battery.... handbrake shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to release....

Shouldn't need the handbrake with a full lift - if it was lashed down correctly, otherwise RTI damaged cars wouldn't be transportable 
Was it parked near a radar or microwave transmitter?

It's been known to happen, not usually phone masts but the microwave side - lobe emmisions if the cell is microwave linked rather than hardwired, can play hell with car electronics, usually the remote control is first to suffer but with a Disco3, it's difficult to say, especially with all the network traffic flying round the car
