Either he's messed with something he shouldn't, or you have other fault reasons. You need to get proper diagnostics done.

Why do you need ambient lighting in a car ?? You might get better luck on Ejoke Forum or similar ?

Never mess with modern RR electrics it often leads to grief. They are dodgy enough as standard.

Get him to disconnect the bodge and see if fixes the other issues. Unlikely to find someone else who has bodged it in the same way, unless of course it's an official bodge as recommended by LR bodge department which I doubt even they would do

He'll have used a kit for an earlier model that is messing with the FlexRay network, earlier versions used MS-CAN. Remove it, carry out a DTC read & clear (with a reader that will work across all systems) and all will be well.

Good Luck, I hope the ambient lighting improves the LR experience.
