swap R9(main relay) with R8(heated screen) in engine bay for test first of all ... if no joy we'll speak then

it seems that you dont have heated screens then... get hold of a new relay like that cos R9 is the main relay and if it was at fault your ABS will make tricks from now...so if the 3 amigos will show up it means the main relay was faulty and that caused you trouble... or there is some contact issue in the fusebox and now it's fixed as you jiggled around there

. could the problem be the fuse box
yes it could...or there is a drain on the circuit somewhere.... specific electrical investigations are required
before i fitting second hand fuse box the abs/tra started lighting up as well. connected 2nd box no difference abs/tra hill decent height control ace showing which is strange because i changed to coils disconnected air pump and hill decent at mm 4x4 . i have just connected second fuse box off td5 es mines an xs heater plug light -ace -height control -fuel pump runs but abs/tra hight control still light took it for 30 mile run ok but for abs/ace/height con still on

but i hope you didnt think that if you find an ABS sensor fault code stored the fault will be fixed just by clearing it with tester... drive the car for a while, read the fault codes again and say exactly what faults you've got
as the maf reading ... it could be a wiring issue not a faulty sensor

Assuming the immobiliser is not on .....
When the engine check light/ glow plug light are not on and temp says way high.....
Will it still start when you turn the ignition to P3 but stop when you release the key??
If so it's the power to/from the immobiliser that is the culprit.
There is an easy and cheap fix if that is the problem

Oh forgot to say I dont think a fault finder will find that fault
when i switch the ignition on all lights come on except the heater plug light then the lights go out then the three hill decent/height control/ace light come on then have to wait for the glow plug to come on when it lights the fuel pump starts and temp light goes out . i have sat in the car for over three hours trying to get the glow plug other times 1/5 mins light comes on start car switch off start again the other lights go out . is the glow plug on a time switch ? my driver door lock is slow opening some times have to use key would that be affecting it :hysterically_laughi
:hysterically_laughihurray fitted door d/s door lock immobilizer red light started working slowly instead of flashing fast all the time fitted the shuttle valves quite easy . switched ignition on slight delay then they all went off all working well at the moment thanks to all for the advice and help. to change the shuttle valves .look up on google abs land rover club v.l. they have a scroll down pictures step by step very good.again thanks to all for the addvice. Dont forget to bleed the brakes.
