as about the other problems with TC and HDC if both warnings are on without the ABS it's a complicated issue

That did cross my mind too, unless a previous owner blanked out the ABS warning light because of a long standing problem.

Never rains but it pours, took it out a run, approx 1900 rpm in 5th at 50 mph, seems ok, think its loosening up a bit, (up on ramps 6 month), I'm on a farm middle of nowhere, car stopped at my place, was asking what they were up to, never took my finger off of the window button, bang bang bang, now it wont go up, somethings off a pawl or broken, think same happened 5/6 years ago, sort it tomorrow I hope, oh well .

What's that "correct grade of 95 (not ep)" ? and what did you top up with ep95??? cos if you meant manual gearbox the correct stuff is MTF94 and for diffs and transfer box is 75W90

My mistake MTF 94 much like ATF in consistency.

What RPM was it pulling at 50 mph?

1900 rpm

That window issue corroborated with bongs and HDC/TC warnings can make the interior fusebox suspect of water ingress though

Not water, been sitting in my dry workshop for 6 months, banging is coming from inside door panel, as mentioned its off pawl or such like seem to remember some spotwelds broke last time.

Quick question, 255 tyres 19" pressures front/rear ?

AAA-ha, i confused "bang" with "bong" ... anyway if only the TC and HDC lights are permannently on the protocol for that is corrupted engine data input from the engine ECU to SLABS ECU which can be the root of some driveability issues too

about pressures

Thanks for reply, I nearly always run my pressures, more than your tables, so they are not to soft, ok slabs ecu new term what is that ?

SLABS = Self Levelling + ABS ECU... the D2 has different ECUs for each system

Thanks, done away with the bags about 8 years ago, think I done away with switches also, cant remember if I disabled the compressor in the ecu.

The HDC/TC warnings are about the ABS side of it nothing to do with air suspension

Hi could mice or other animals being eating cable insulation or got in fuse box

Ok threw me with the self levelling term, could only think suspension could level.

Possibly, will check tomorrow.

the SLABS is for the self levelling suspension and ABS... two in one ECU
