Battery + battery tray removed before starting to give extra access to sm bolts.

Hi All I've just replaced battery and starter motor on my 55 plate TD4. Turned the key and nothing happened. Ran a scan and I got the following message: EWS Immobilisation malfunction (0x1DF5) Followed the handbook (5 presses on lock button to re-pair). Cleared the error code and tried again but...

Thanks all. I'll check around the starter tomorrow.

No crank, getting nothing. Sensors connected, checked connectors on glow plugs. Battery has 12.6v

Yes, but there were issues with 2 of them.

Hi All Changed glow plugs this weekend (pig of a job). Put everything back together and it won't turn over. Put the battery on charge, took everything apart to double check my work. Put it all back together and still nothing. Did a scan and it's throwing up: CAN message failures P1E00 Vehicle...

To get it ready for MOT I've: Replaced propshaft bearings & universal joints New fuel pump & filter New brake light switch & abs sensors

Hi All Took my 55 plate TD4 for MOT after 6 weeks off road since failing the last one. Fixed everything that it failed on last time. Got a call from the garage to say they abandoned MOT as they think there is an issue with the engine bottom end. Any advice? Thanks.

More of a weekend job rather than what I've done today.... Resprayed centre console, fitted new stereo, and added a couple of USB ports.

All sorted. Took switch out, pulled out plunger, put back in & reset - brake lights on permanently, switch off when I press brake pedal! Took out, reset plunger again, all working as normal 👍

Yes, done that and checked it. Warning lights disappeared after fitment.

Should also mention that fuses are OK.

Had the dreaded two amigos on the dash - TDC/HDC. At this stage brake lights worked as normal. Took out brake light switch - which practically disintegrated in my hand and replaced with new. Reconnected all wires as before. Warning lights now gone but brake lights aren't working. Need to get...

Last one done!

Last night I sanded one of my headlights, other will get done tonight. The completed one was in a much worse state than the one still to do.

Roof was just over 2m so had to buy 3, which gave me the extra to match the door cards 👍

New fuel pump and filter arrived today along with 4 abs switches for my 55 plate TD4. Fuel pump & filter changed, plastic housing fell apart but got to make use of the rivet gun I bought about 10 years ago to put it back together 😆

Door cards finished (upholstery and plastic respray), and passenger ones refitted. Will fit drivers side tomorrow.

Yeah, it is a risk. I'm doing it because the original LR paint has gone that way so at this stage anything is an improvement. I did try vinyl wrapping them at first but there's too many awkward curves and it looked a mess.
