I know this is a common fault that has been discussed many times on this forum, so apologies in advance, but really hoping for some clarity!? The ‘Air suspension not active’ fault has come up in the past, but only now and then and would clear, however now it is all the time, along with HDC...

Sorry all, I miss read the post, I thought it was the motor you were replacing not just the blade oops.

yes, this is exactly what you do, then you can lift up and remove. just need to time it !

Here's the video for DIYFIXER, I go through the Air Suspension menus so you can see for yourself.

The red battery icon came up on the dash, so went about testing the charging voltage and she was sitting at 11.5V, so time for a new alternator. Bought a Lucas from ECP at £160 so long as I return the old one. I managed to remove and replace without taking the viscous fan off, its tight but...

Hi there, I did this video of replacing my wiper motor that will help you... Good Luck

I did a

I had a worn alternator which brought up some faults. I am planning on using m iCarsoft today to clear them so will do a short video to help you.

It depends on the model and if the car is at idle or under load, At Idle I get 13.6V and under load around 14.2V. The other two batteries I had where sent back for full refund. P.S I also found that my Merc SL which has two batteries also demands the best battery due to all the electronics and...

Please don't under estimate how important your car battery is in these cars, they are power hungry vehicles ! I had issues like you and bought 3 new batteries in 1.5 years all claiming to be compatible, until I got one decent one that held the power. Even if the battery you think is new and has...

Thanks everyone. I was going to scrap the car as it was quite old at 2005. But the wife likes the car very much so decided that I'm just going to pay out for a complete strip down of the gearbox and rebuild @£3100 , oh well as long as the wife happy for a couple more years!

Hi, yes I read that, getting the car to the correct temp etc. I tried to have a look at the plug on the side of the gearbox, which for me was on the left (looking to the front of car), but it was dark and I only had my phone. I took a photo, there was a plastic bung that I removed, then I took...

Hi there, no gearbox work that I can see from the previous owners. I have had the car for 3 years and only done about 15K miles.

ps. the first time the fault happened was after driving for 20 mins, so not sure why the resting voltage would be a factor?

I am getting 12.5 to 12.7 volts when the engine is not on, the battery is only 5 months old and starts fine.

Range Rover L322 year 2005 (BMW 3.0 Diesel engine model) Miles 144K Hi all Up until now I have had no issues with the gear box, then today sitting at the lights, the 'transmission fail safe mode' popped up on the dash, it drove off albeit a little slow. I stopped the car, waited about 10 mins...

Okay I have re-posted thanks.

Range Rover L322 year 2005 (BMW 3.0 Diesel engine model) Miles 144K P.S I hope this is the correct forum, appologies if it isnt. Hi all Up until now I have had no issues with the gear box, then today sitting at the lights, the 'transmission fail safe mode' popped up on the dash, it drove off...

Hmmmm. Not sure I agree with 12.4 v being a dud battery, as the battery is only 1 month old and has always given this reading. I have managed to resolve through, process of illumination. I was sure if was an electrical or canbus issue so checked all areas that I disturbed for any thing...
