Hi everyone,
This is my first post so thank you in advance for any advice. It is quite a lengthy one so for a brief overview: I have a quote for £1500, the repairs are necessary but don't align with the fault codes... Will I therefore need more work and should I just scrap it?
I acquired my FL1 at the start of the month and numerous issues have occurred since it was purchased. Needless to say, some of these issues were not present at the point of sale, though, it is evident I overlooked some of them... With the hopes of getting the problems addressed, I took the Landrover to a specialist who is highly recommended throughout the forums. Subsequently, I now have a £1500 quote for the following (inclusive of VAT and labour):
- Link rods
- Full set of brake hoses
- Camshaft seals
- Rotary coupler
- Timing belt and water pump
My contention is not with the price of the quote but instead concerns the fault codes identified, of which there are 12. This is because I believe the Landrover to have a rough idle issue alongside an intermittent issue with the TC / DH lights (though, it seems to have stopped now but the codes picked up the switch issue). I'm assuming that given this long list of codes, I'm just going to have more expensive fixes outside of the above quote? The codes identified were:
12 ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE ERROR.
8 CAN BUS FAULT - NO MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM ABS ECU.
9 CAN BUS FAULT - NO MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM EMS ECU.
C1151 CAN GEARBOX DATA FAILURE
CHI46 CAN SIGNAL GEAR INFO ERROR
C1221 BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH ELECTRICAL FAILURE
C1148 NO CAN MESSAGE FROM ENGINE ECU
P1232 FUEL PUMP RELAY - CIRCUIT FAULT
P1185 UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR HEATER - ELECTRICAL FAULT
P0480 RADIATOR FAN DRIVE - CIRCUIT FAULT
P0420 CATALYST GENERAL FAILURE
P0170 FUEL SYSTEM - ADAPTIONS OUT OF RANGE
The experience I received today was amazing and I have very primitive mechanical knowledge so by no way am I placing fault on the service. The physical and identifiable issues were identified and quoted for. I am just concerned it is going to be a money pit even if I go ahead with the quoted work. Should I just scrap it?
