I know your car was experiencing problems prior to your faux pas and even when up and running again you may still have an issue to investigate. However, even without diagnostic equipment, advise has been offered from myself and others, which it appears from your posts that you've paid little...

Hi An area prone to electrical failure on some cars is where the wiring harness passes from the door frame to the doors and tailgate. Repeated opening/closing weakens the wires and they break - usually the larger wires. You don't mention what age or model your car is?? If we assume a MK1...

Had a bit more time to check out this fault code of C1146 - 'Can error throttle position sensor' only seen in the ABS ECU but puts on the amber (yellow) hill descent light. Fortunately I had access to another fully functioning Freelander to compare against. I checked all of the CAN wires with an...

Not sure if events have moved on since the last post ?? You had a code for fuel pressure faulty and then commented that: "it isn't the case" - This is for the fuel rail pressure - How do you know what the common rail fuel pressure is?? Are you able to use diagnostic equipment to read this whilst...

Hi As hd3 said if the engine has revved high on brake cleaner, then this ignites at a lower ignition point and burns hotter than derv, so it may have burned the tips of the injectors. On cranking the fuel is then poured straight in to the cylinders or diverted through the spill pipes. If at...

Hi guys thanks for the info Too busy today to spend any time on it. I will report back as soon as I get a moment

Oh bugger - I peaked too soon - It's back on. I've no more time to spend on this today. But, I think I'm narrowing it down. Something changed though initially after swapping the potentiometers ?? A wiring harness 'wiggle' test didn't high-light anything. The engine ECU didn't see this as a fault...

Hi I'm using a Dec Super Scan III What's not helping is I only have just a short description with the fault code of C1146 'Can error' I also googled C1146 and had it as a wheel speed sensor. But, I think that's for Rover not Land Rover ?? If it were a wheel speed sensor then I would have...

Hi Thanks for the reply But I always thought that it was the green symbol which denoted the selection of the Hill Descent Control It always seems that as soon as the yellow hill descent light comes on so does a fault code 'C1146 Can' gets logged in the ABS ECU. This is backed up by the following...

Hi I'm new to the forum. Normally, I manage to sort all faults eventually. But, this fault has me stumped at the moment and I would like assistance from the forum please. 2001 Freelander 1.8L petrol 5 door Fault is that the yellow hill decent light frequently but randomly appears on the dash on...
