Unfortunately only time will tell. While it is an intermittent fault it is very difficult to diagnose. At this time only advice I can give is if you have your fault codes read and fault code 705 xyz gear positioning switch fault appears do not take it as given that the switch is faulty only...

Your list of faults do seem to indicate that your bcu is the culprit and unfortunately the bcu is unrepairable except by an expert ( Search CALLROVA). If you have access to a nanocom, hawkeye to read the fault codes stored (generic codes readers do not work with TD5 as it is not obd compliant)...

Which is the best diagnostic code reader and live data reader for a freelander 2 sd4, early 2011. I have a nanocom evolution unlocked for a discovery td5 ( and will shortly selling said vehicle) and wonder whether it is worth the £200 + for the cable and unlock codes for the freelander 2 or are...

Another source of water in the footwell on either side is blocked drains from the air con unit which pass either side of the central console and exit through the transmission tunnel. If you read my post of 7th JULY 2017 in the discovery forum where are the aircon drains at the end of the posts I...

From my experiences with flashing m&s lights they in themselves and any problems they may indicate should not stop you from starting the engine. Rather failure to start the engine due to poor electrical connections or failing battery would cause the m&s lights to flash as the auto gearbox...

I don't know the layout of the defender egr system but on the discovery td5 there is an intermediate bracket on the pipe to support it, (on mine it was missing so the broken pipes). This pipe gets very hot as it is connected to the exhaust manifold so don't use any plastic ties etc on it as they...

I take it that your egr system is like the one on the discovery td5 Euro 2 with the straight through pipe from exhaust manifold to egr valve, without the cooler. If so, from personal experience of 3 broken pipes in as many weeks, these pipes need to be supported properly as they fracture...

Does the nanocom evo support the freelander 2, 2011 auto sd4 190 bhp, or which is the best diagnostic tool to buy

Thinking of purchasing a 2011 freelander 2 auto SD4 190 bhp. Are there obvious faults i should look for or known problems. Any advice welcome

Hi Albert, Best post your enquires in the discovery forum. Look for a copy of rave the land rover workshop manual for discoveries and read up on automatic gears box and transmission and you will find there are many reasons for the m& s lights to flash, like wise you will find detailed step by...

Hi, I am in middlewich cheshire about 45 minutes away from you and have a nanocom unlocked for disco d2. If no one more local to you has been in touch send me an email with your phone number if you want to bring it down here to plug it in and I will ring you back. No charge or beer required...

There is someone organising a group buy on d2 boys club.

Your symptoms strongly indicate that your body control unit has changed your vehical status from automatic to manual and this can be easily remedied by someone with a nanocom / hawkeye or a garage with appropriate fault reader. Post your enquiry in discovery td5 forum giving details of your...

Do the m&s lights flash. If you have access to dedicated diagnostics check that your vehicle is still registered as an automatic as apparently it is a known fault for it to change to a manual without reason. If you have the fault codes read and they say xyz switch fault, please be aware that...

Thanks for the info and links. Anyone have experience of Bearmach brake components..

I need to replace my brake pads and discs front and back and have seen a mintex pack for about £130. Given the age of the vehicle 15+ I was considering also changing the calipers and guides as 2 years ago when changing pads, the pistons in the calipers were beginning to pit. I haven seen a pack...

If you look at my post of 10 July where are the air con drains, at the end of the thread I explained how I accessed the drains inside the car by removing the centre console. Relatively easy, half a dozen screws only. 2002 td5 auto gs.

You could try merlin diesel systems who according to a post by markomate2 about a td5 rebuild reported that they can test and refurbish faulty injectors and recode them, search web , based in Preston lancs.

You could try landranger services in middlewich, But closes at 12.
