Thanks for this but looking through the D3 owners handbook it shows a triangle with an exclamation mark in the centre for TC operating. Could it be that simple because the car was on grass pulling a trailer and turning at the same time. She mentioned juddering, I know what my D2 feels like when...

Thanks, I'll ask her to run it again and see what other signs are up. Offered to send her my Foxwell but she won't understand it and dosn't think anyone there can. So it's off to Land Rover again, think it's an independent but. Thanks again, if she comes back with anything else I'll ask again.

Hi, Just had a call from my sister in France with even more problems with her car 2007/2008 model. Please bear with me if I'm not 100% clear in my explanation but manic sister "going sell the ******* thing, spent ten thousand euros on it and still.......!" Centre of dash small rectangular...

Will do when I finish the track rod. But same with the AA insurance, my wife's quote this year was stupid expensive and she switched to Swinton (?) but mine with the AA was by far the best for the D2 V8. I'll see what I can get it down to before going to the RAC or GF.

Today I've received our AA quote for the coming year. Two cars, my wife's Citroen and my D2. Up from about £140.00 last year to £224.10. Looked at Green Flag and it seems to be under £140.00 with relay. So time to hunt round to get the best but the AA not sure now, was okay when the propshaft...

Yes thanks I've seen it, but trying to do it on the cheap right now, bills more important than toys. Missed an NT510 on eBay last week for £50.00 and a Hawkeye unlocked for TD5/V8 for £80.00. I'm not paying attention too many other things on my mind. But yes, I'll buy a new 520 this week. But...

If anyone has one for sale may I please ask you to let me know. Thank you.

My 2000 V8 had similar radio problems earlier this year. It wouldn't switch off even with the fuse removed and set the alarm off. Fery recommended a new internal fuse box which I bought but before I got round to fitting it everything dried out. The drivers carpet was alway wet and I found a...

Everybody who's written THANK YOU ! Just put two fully charged 12 volt SLA batteries together in parallel, only 4.5 ah ones and connected it to the external XLR lead I've got coming from the battery. Okay the alarm sounded but it unlocked with the fob. Hope that's all I've got to do now apart...

Thank you Fery once again your advice is very sound. Yes I understand that hence my question about jumping another battery in there now so I can unlock with the fob. But I also hope the EKA code Land Rover gave me is correct !

Thank you both for your advice and ideas. I can get to the battery via the XLR socket on a cable that comes through the grill. This is for a smart charger just to make sure it's fully topped up in winter. But this battery is DEAD, it's totally goosed now at 5 volts and the charger is not...

Hope someone maybe able to answer my question. Just gone out to the car and it wouldn't unlock. Now I have an external connecter coming out of the grill for a smart charger. Just put the Fluke in the pins and it's at 5 volts. No idea why it was a new one last year, but... The charger won't...

Thanks so much, my sister really does appreciate the help you've both given.

Thank you both for your help. I've sent your info over to my sister and hope she can get it sorted out. I've told her the first thing is to get the battery sorted and the charging checked out. As for glow plugs, yes I've seen the cost to replace those. Not sure if she'll bother. It's cost her...

Hi, I hope someone maybe able to offer some advice on these problems. The car is a 2008 D3 diesel and belongs to my sister in the Dordogne. That's all I know about it. Just had a call from her asking for some help with somethings that are causing her problems. She's had the car now for, I...

Thank you Frey for your advice. So just to be clear for my car I will need a 2000 ES V8 one. Are there any other things I need to know about buying a second one ? Thanks again.

Evening, Hope someone can offer some help, it seems bizarre to me but.... A week or so ago the alarm sounded for no reason I can see but when I went to turn it off the radio was playing. Because the car hadn't been used for a couple of weeks I thought the battery could be down so I put a smart...

No, one it's never done it before and I was more interested in looking at the road than the dash. It was full throttle I was using, I naturally backed off the accelerator till it felt smooth again. Then normal throttle.To be honest it felt more running gear/transmission than engine but could be...

May I please ask if anyone has an idea what could have happened. The car is a Series 2 V8 Thor engine. Yesterday I had to pull off a fast A road and accelerating back into fast traffic there were a few seconds of really rough running and vibration right through the car. It picked up and ran...

When I had to fit two seats in mine, they were missing when I bought it I used two long coach bolts with the heads cut off. I put those in the top holes and then was able to tension the bracket with mole grips and slid the bracket in to them. Just pushed the seat as far as I could then a few...
