Very interesting guys thanks for the info….
Few points which seems to tally with the points you all make
I started riding instantly after turning it on, I think it had satellites/signal connected but can’t be 100% sure
It also Absolutly pissed it down for a long period of time, also driving rain so could have easily blocked the sensor…
And maybe as someone else has pointed out, I have over summer stopped using the silicone cover! I used the cover all last winter, and never experienced this, so I may just Bung it back on….
So It’s quite probable the symptoms I experienced with lack of height certainly could be caused by the above according to you folks….
So I’ll cover it up i think is the best solution
