I've started to run through the diagnostic guide. Solenoid valves resistance, all close to spec: Front/Rear inlets 7.2Ω Front/Rear outlets 3.9Ω Wheel sensors resistance: Front left 987Ω Front right 988Ω Rear left 987Ω Rear right 988Ω (same from ECU multiplug or from sensor plug) I'm still...

Thanks for the quick reply! Just checked all 4 solenoids: unplugged the plug to the ABS ECU and sent direct 12v to the pins #6, #23 #5 #22. All 4 solenoids click correctly in the modulator. So this confirms that the solenoids operate and the continuity in the ABS ECU <>modulator loom is OK. I...

So just to double check if I'm reading the ETM correctly I need to splice in 12v to the SR grey-red wire that goes between pin 1 on the modulator and pin 6 on the ECU ? (red on screen capture attached)

Ok so I've check the continuity of the ECU/ABS loom and all is ok. So now I need to find a way to test the RH front solenoid valve.

Thanks ! As you say, not human friendly but I can at least decipher the connector pins and the wire colours.

Hi, Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the ABS on a 1997 Discovery 300tdi EDC ? The blink test is giving a 3-1 error "Hydraulic modulator solenoid valve, RH front outlet - ECU connection/wiring" I need to start with a continuity test on the loom between the ECU and the pump. Is there a means...

The EGR was blanked of years ago and the MAF is therefore redundant on the EDC system (plugged/unplugged absolutely no difference)

Currently looking for someone with Hawkeye here in SW France !

HI Ben, Did you get any further with this ? I'm experiencing the same problem but not just when under load. Even in neutral as soon as the revs reach 2000 to 2500 rpm the engine check flashes on and revs drop back to idle. A quick push on the pedal and the light goes out and we're back to...

Given that the shock are pressured up and ready to fit I didn't want to disconnect the reservoir, so internal solution was not viable. In the end I tucked the rear ones up under the floor plan behind the sill and the front ones in the engine bay (RH - just below servo, LH in space next to bottle...

Hi Just about to fit a set of Terrafrima remote reservoir adjustable shocks to a Discovery 3OOtdi. Has anyone got a recommended place to fit the rear reservoir? There is plenty length on the hose but I'm looking for a area where it won't be too exposed yet easy to access to adjust. It looks...

Could also be the auto transmission overheating. If the oil smell is ATF it is quite distinctive (sickly)

Thanks - I'll check tonight. Do you know if this is a threaded connection or a push fit? It must be well tucked away so not sure I'll be able to get a spanner on it if I can't even see it.

I'm getting pressure building up in the auto transmission - ATF dipstick comes out a couple of cm by itself. I guess there is a breather blocked but I can't find where it comes out of the gearbox. Can anyone advise so i can clean it out?

I had one of these on my first D1. To be honest it lasted about a week before it was bent and eventually binned. It was fitted to a Dixon Bate that was also a pain. The both acted more like a plough than anything else when off-roading. If you use your D2 offroad I would think twice before...
