The flashing m&s light indicate that the vehicle is in limp mode, 3rd gear forward and reverse due to a fault in the auto transmission, mechanical or electrical, there are 20 plus faults that all cause this. The bcu supplies power to the xyz switch which tells the auto transmission which...

BCU is not plug and play, you will need a nanocom, Hawkeye ( or I think testbook) to install and reprogram a substitute and if you are buying a used one make sure that it is in an unlocked state otherwise it may be impossible to install. If in doubt look at callrova web site.

The output from the xyz switch goes to both the bcu ecu (front passenger foot well) and the automatic transmission ecu (under front passenger seat) splitting under the console between the front driver and passenger seats. With a nanocom you can read the outputs from the xyz switch received by...

Search callrova for advice and or replacement bcu . Very knowledgeable and approachable.

If your m+s lights are not flashing, I doubt it is the xyz switch as the default position adopted by transmission ecu when a fault occurs in the xyz switch or associated circuits is, flashing m+s lights and limp home mode which can only be cleared by turning ignition off.

Attached file is what I used

It is a rubber timing belt and water pump that need changing. Google timing belt and water pump for freelander 2 as there is a detailed description of how to do it and what needs changing while the car is stripped down. My local indy has just quoted £400+vat to do the whole job, timing belt and...

From my own experience of buying a 2010 freelander 2 sd4, when taking a test drive listen for a hum whine from transmission as this may be the bearing in the front or rear diff from the prop shaft as this a known weak point, Bell Engineering seem to make a living from replacing them (about £700...

When my ace pipe corroded through to create a leak on a clip holding it to chassis I found a plant hydraulic fitter who cut and replaced part of pipe with a new piece using compression fittings, took about 30 minutes and you may find a mobile one who can repair on site.

Why don't you use landranger services in middlewich, an excellent parts supplier who from my own experience can source any parts you need usually in 24 hours, maybe a little more expensive but a very knowledgeable voice on the end of the phone or visit them as they are quite local to you.

Clip sealed pipe to oil cooler, don't know if it was flow or return, repaired by garage next day when I was away viewing / buying freelander so with replacement car not really to interested in details.

I have had 3 D2 td5 discoverys, a 2002 manual pre facelift on springs, a 2003 manual face lift on rear air suspension with ace and a 2002 auto on springs. Without doubt the best for handling, fuel efficiency and reliability was the 2003 manual had the edge in handling over the 2002 manual pre...

Search for discovery 2 my 99 to my 03 electrical library and circuit diagrams 00 my rhd which will describe and show which cicuits fuse 24 supplies.

It may be under the sound system box under passenger seat, otherwise no idea.

No, look back about 7 pages in this discovery forum for D2 td5 uk version and see my posts in this thread for search link.

Look for 12/07/2019 post for d2 td5 uk version rave as this has a link to a pdf version of workshop manual from fuddymucker web site, use vdr link then look at fuddymucker site.

You would probably be better reading about automatic gear box in Rave where it list the fault codes which cause flashing m+s lights and limp mode and until you read fault codes stored in eat (electronic automatic transmission) ecu it would unsafe to advise you on driving car. The fault code p705...

If the problem is electrical, within the gear position monitoring circuits and not just xyz switch the fault code P705 gear position switch incorrect outputs will be recorded in the eat (electronic automatic transmission) ecu, there being no diagnostic for just the xyz switch. The problem with...

Do you have nanocom, Hawkeye or test book. Do the flashing m+s and D start as soon as you start engine, shortly after you drive away or some time after you drive away and does this occur every time you use car or just occasionally.
