That's exactly what was causing mine. The ecu one seemed to occasionally delay changing states but the brake light one was instant. If there's more than a few milliseconds between it throws this fault (for future searchers)

That would work. It's how they clean cement mixers. Some fine pea gravel and some sand and something to tumble it slowly. Make an arbour out of threaded bar and use an old tank cap fit it into a cordless at slow speed.

Mine is proof in point of that. I had "suspension lowered" "hdc inactive" "dsc inactive" "park brake fault" "transmission fault" All due to a slightly faulty brake light switch

Could it be that the transfer box has at sometime in the past got stuck with the gears only just in mesh for hi range and it's finally let go? Might be worth seeing if you can tell if it is moving when you switch between hi and lo range

Assuming it's petrol as its 4.4 on 08 so as marjon says, have a look at a plug see if its wet. Could be a million and one things so diag first before anything can be considered.

Sounds like it's not handshaking with the other most devices and shutting down. Once it shuts down it kills the rest of the network.

Yes, as you're sitting in the car the lcm will be on the right hand side behind the a pillar trim panel and up a bit. Check your front carpets, any sign of them being damp probably means sunroof drains are blocked and the water will flow directly over the lcm. Had to repair mine on my 06 for...

If things are moving when you jack under that block you need to very carefully inspect the sills behind the covers as they rot for fun. If the sills are gone it might be time to cut your losses especially when you can get a very useable 07/08 model with a v8 diesel for under 2k now. Don't worry...

just ordered one of these. I figured if I've got to rip the dash out to try and sort the head unit out anyway I might as well modernise it somewhat. Bugs me though that it's almost 500 quid for the range rover one but the one we bought for the transit was same spec but under 200 quid. Bloody...

Have you tried putting it in the dishwasher on a high temp program?

Well I think I've solved the random multitude of faults. New brake light switch seems to be the fix. Normally would get the faults within 10 brake presses close together. Been driving around town all afternoon and so far so good (shhhhh, don't tell her)

You flatter me! I remember the dark days before the EU very well thanks. Endless strikes, power off almost every night, those were the days eh?! Anyway, you've clearly made up your mind that there was no benefit from the EU. I can see the loss of those benefits first hand and if it's costing...

Yes, new eu restrictions because we are no longer part of the club. Shipping stuff between eu states is still a doddle.

No but then there is no change there due to brexit, it is business as usual. It still takes a few days and costly shipping from China whereas I used to be able to spend 20s online to book a box to czech/poland/france/Germany/Netherlands etc etc etc and it was collected from us at 2pm and at the...

Merry Christmas to all.

Christmas prezzies from the missus, she knows me too well.

I'm afraid it mostly is true. It's cost us a fortune and where we used to send stuff all over the eu next day for not much more than next door, it's now 3-5 days minimum and that's if the customer at the other end is on the ball and pays quickly. We had a box of parts worth 30k that the...

According to the storey Wilson site the v4 now does some other diag too, not nearly as much as the nanocom but more than just eas. It is 180 quid though.

Fought this bastid for far too long again. Was hoping to do both sides today but only got drivers side done. Rear wiper motor is turning into a nightmare. The magnet won't fit in place meant for it as its too big. Tried to put it in the lathe and the Jaws crushed it so ended up with a sliver...

Have you tried just turning on ignition but not starting the car and then clear the faults. See if they all come back doing it that way first.
