    Just done the continuity test and i have zilch across the purple wire. Does that mean i have a break in that wire? Update. I was incorrect partially, the chap couldnt read the faults but he had the option to clear them. Gearbox fault now gone since then. I have developed a misfire which i have...

    I am not convinvced the data link has been checked properly based on the reply i have had. Please could i get some advice to try this myself. I have picked up the 2 ecus anyway as they were not astronomic money.

    Please help Discovery 2 on the verge of extinction

    If the slabs went down on its own could you still connect to the other 4 ecus? Would the xyz switch be in the running as having an issue also? If i was to buy both ecus used off of ebay and try the tester to program them in would that be worth a punt?

    Sounds like i would be better suited giving the landy to you haha. Ok so i have messaged him that info to see if he has tested it. For arguments sake if he has... the 2 ecus mentioned.. slabs and gearbox. Can these be ebay bought and plugged in without coding?

    I have just messaged him to check. If there was an issue that would lead back to wiring issues causing no comms?. Its turnung into a nightmare getting this sorted. Also i forgot to mention in my update that on top of the 3 amigos and handbrake light the box is locked in 3rd gear when in D and...

    T4 mobile and evo pro. Quite a bit of experience. Also this is the 2nd person to plug in. The first person was dna 4x4 who could not get comms either. All wiring is good with no breaks at all. There is no comms with the car at all.

    Thanks for the reply. Yes the proper diag tool was used. No comms. Defo abs ecu but it may have possibly fried the main ecu as well

    Hello MM. I didnt dodge the question, when it comes to electrical testing i have left it to my truck mechanic at work and i have been waiting for an answer from him. I have checked the obvious mechanical things but electrics arent my beat subject. The lr specialist we saw today seemed...

    Hi guys. Thank you for the additonal help. Took the vehicle to the nearest landy specialist with a nanocomm. No communication to the ECU. The chap thinks that there may be a break in om of the ECU wires. He thinks this may possibly be causing the whole issue as the communication issues may cause...
