Oh boy, this is irritating.
Up until this weekend I had an occasional intermittent fault where I'd get a warning chime, once per second, once the car got going over 20mph. If I slowed down the chime would stop. To fully stop the warning I'd have to park up, switch off and then start up again. (Have you tried turning it off and on again?..
This weekend I've been getting the warning on almost every journey and the stop-and-start fix isn't clearing it. So every time I go over 20mph I get the b****y warning chimes every b****y second. B****y hell.
The only warning associated with 20mph that I'm aware of is the 'going too fast with suspension in off-road/high position'. I've obviously tried poking the raise/lower suspension button so the car thinks it's running at different ride heights. I had the car converted to springs about 18months ago so it doesn't actually raise/lower. The intermittent problem only started a couple of months ago, at most, so it's not directly related to fitting the springs. I do always have the SLS warning light on when I drive, there are no extra warning lights when the chiming starts.
So, any ideas how to diagnose/fix?
Is there something else that would trigger a warning above 20mph? (I assume the Transfer Box Neutral warning is at all speeds?)
I guess I could go find a garage with a code reader but I'm doubting that this will trigger a fault code as it is just a warning to the driver that they're being a dope?
As I'm on springs the ride height is going to be bang on. I guess I could get the ride height sensors calibrated, but isn't that a main-dealer job? And it feels a bit stoopid getting the sensors calibrated if I'm on springs.
Alternatively, where is the speaker that makes the dammned chime? Can I just unsolder it? Sounds like it's in with the dials.
There's got to be a better idea?
By the way, it's a 2001 Disco 4.0 V8 Auto. And I've a 600 miles to do this weekend. Ear plugs at the ready...
