Came up today, worked fine after an off on.

Direction control valve fault.

Anything to worry about?

Something fell on it
 
Just wondering if time for another spare ecu, or if something not worryable
 
Might be a bad contact on that DCVs circuit

thanks , I hope it is a one off, as last time I had troubles it was new ECU time.

Just worried it could be a failing solenoid as I have no alternative ones, mine is the later type as also fitted to the Discovery3 Range Rover alikes.
 
Usually if the solenoid fails it's not intetmittent, your problem is more likely a bad contact on the circuit IMO, can be in C0377/0391(big orange plug near the fusebox in engine bay) or in the solenoid's plug unless the wiring is chafed somewhere
 
Got a very small weep

This is from the compression fitting on pump pipe.

Job for better weather
 
Oooops, that solenoid doesnt look good at all, might be corrosion in it's connector or the winding's connections to the pins are affected... yes, better replace it to be ruled out
 
you know that the PCV on the side is different than the DCVs dont you? too bad that you have the late modell block cos the solenoids for the early ones like mine are around £50 a piece... i'm wondering how much different they are though

End is more expensive as well.

And they are totally different, old ones have a screw cap and smaller bore.
 
Found a cheaper source when i already have bought one.

Maltings in stock

Arnold Rimmer bit cheaper
