Default Trouble with front & back cameras

I have been having trouble with the front and back cameras for a while, which are working now and then. I have tried the reset of screen many times, and this doesn't help. I have also changed the fuse for the cameras without any result. If I haven't used the car for a few days the camera will start up and then disconnect after approx 5 minutes, after which the image comes and goes until it goes completely and remains grey. never to restart on that day again. see film below.
The dealer is saying that one of the sensors needs to be replaced, costing about 3000EUR. I have had a lot of problems with this dealers, and I am not impressed by their competence, so I doubt their analysis...
I have been checking the Jaguar and other Land Rover forums to see if anybody else has had this problem, but no luck.
It doesn't seem ti be a software problem as it seems more mechanical, like a loose connection, but have no idea how both cameras would be affected by this at same time
Has anybody else encountered this, and been able to fix it - if so how?

PS I see now that you have to download the film which is showing the screen working. If you don't want to download the film, I'm posting 3 screenshots below

If I remember correctly, LR issued a TSB about the cameras a while back. Best to take it to the dealer and let them check it out. It could be a loose connection to one of the cameras.

I was experiencing the "Cameras not available" error that began as an intermittent problem that eventually lead to the cameras becoming inoperable. Just got it back from the dealership and it was diagnosed as a faulty Near Field Sensing Module (NFSM). There was some reprogramming involved after replacing the module that proved a little tricky for the dealership tech (the new module was throwing codes and errors after install). As @wcc18999 mentioned, I believe there is a TSB on this issue. Driving these rigs without cameras or sensors can be a little tricky, especially in the likes of a parking garage. Glad to have it finally fixed ( 6 week lead time for me to get an appointment at the dealership with a loaner).

Hi Craig, thank you for the tip, I will talk to the dealer about this.
best regards, Tomas
