    Discovery 2 TD5 auto not starting

    The xyz switch was replaced. I checked the wiring loom and it appears to be ok and not rubbed anywhere. But can someone tell me what colour wire signals to the bcu that the transmission is in park?

    Took the bcu out and checked the board. All looked ok but cleaned it up and put it back in. The alarm now works, which was sort of good but painful on the ears!! :) But still not starting. The keyfob doesn't work. I had purchased a new fob a while ago but hadnt got round to programming it, so...

    I feel like I've been going in circles :) I've been stuck on this for over 3 weeks and keep reading about similar problems. But everything I've tried hasn't worked. The motor doesn't do anything. Just dead. I will double check tomorrow but I cant remember hearing a click. Yes I can hear...

    Got my hands on a hawkeye and plugged it in. I've got fault 14 p0705 position switch, I've already replaced the xyz switch. I had also checked the wiring to the switch and it looked ok. Is there another cause of this error?
