    Anyone know what causes this

    Don't worry is my advice. Mine also displays f4 occasionally. I've owned my FL from new and it's a 2004. Simply turning off key and turning on again gets rid of it. Garage looked at it when under warranty and said it wasn't a recognised code! As it was rare and intermittent it never done it...

    Does the Becker Sat Nav have a security code?

    Phone them up, easier if one where purchased new and quote chassis no. ( on v5)

    Grinding noise from rear when turning

    Turns out the prop bearing mounts were bent from the rock running under the car. As I have to take off prop and wait for parts anyway, I will order a VCU to fit at same time seeing as I've done 60k miles. It's common knowledge the VCU is virtually a serviceable part @ 70k miles anyway!

    Grinding noise from rear when turning

    Has the problem gone now? I too am in NZ and my td4 (2004) has also developed a deep rumbling/vibration noise when cornering at lower speeds! Hope its not because there not used to being 'upside down' :) I have only recently got my car back after the garage had it for 35days while waiting...

    A quick update on the filter thread, took car for MOT after completing full service (all filters etc.) and FAILED on emissions:( . Garage suggested parting with £15 for injector cleaner (wink wink and it might pass):eek: . And it did:D . I think all that was a load of bo***cks, and the more...

    TD4 2002my on service schedule

(This doesn't even get a mention on the other schedules i've seen).;) On this note I've decided Ive had enough of Lr rip off...

    Fault code 'F4'

    hill descent light is also flashing the small red led to right of gear lever (i.e. sport light also comes on -even tho it is in park). I'm assuming it is an electrical system connected to the gearbox. Mine still does this sometimes have to ignition on/off 4-5 times to reset now tho! Its...

    Sun roof rattle!

    Mine went back under warranty at least 4 times for the very same problem. Rattle Still there despite it being completely removed and re-fitted last time(alledgedly). Have to just accept the fact that its 'character'. It seems to be worse once the thing is used at beginning of warmer weather...

    useless tips!!

    If your locking fob doesnt operate- (too far away/wrong angle/obstructions) try holding it on your nose while pressing button. (main lr dealer salesman told me this- thought he was pulling my plonker but amazingly does work

    mods to 02 plate 2.0l td td4?

    I fitted power box from rimmers on my td4 auto about 18months ago. Very pleased with results - more torque, gearbox doesnt hunt for higher / lower gears, improved economy (approx32mpg). Not had improvements measured or verified but feeling is that claims are about right. Other boxes mentioned...

    useless tips!!

    If you have a fbh and are fed up with poor fuel economy in winter, - leave heeater setting on cold when leaving car - it wont fire up and prime itself when you park up. If you run out of screen wash fluid try a long left hander while pulling screen wash lever - hey presto another 2 gallons...

Anyway, everyone I've spoke to since said artermarket fitment is non-economic (sensor in g'box, steering wheel etc.) Has anyone...
