My question is and without knowing any better. Doesn't the ecu read the sensors and then tell the driver pack to adjust accordingly? If so would looking at the ecu first be more productive my good man. 🤔 Mine does this same thing occasionally 😶

A good friend of mine in the UK when I lived there ran a back street repair shop specialising in Volvo's. The local main dealer would send the older models to him and even some of the newer stuff when they couldn't fix the problem.

What I've seen , since being told they "don't have anyone trained on 'older' models but the guy who knows about them, as a hobby, works on a Friday" , is that the older guys are mainly in the parts dept. these days. I have rarely seen anyone over...

Those buggers are not bothering you for cigarettes are they? 😜

also the odd Kangaroo taking a stroll along the seafront. I wil open a new thread as we go and try and post some photos

Today im preparing my D3 for a trip to NSW national parks . There will be mild off road experience but plenty of flora and forna . I think im luckey where i live ( a small costal village near Bundaberg Qld Austrlia) ther is a surfing beach 100...

Unless I didn't see you standing with us my mate while we were talking to a land-rover dealer. Only two things in your paragraph you can vouch for as experience and the rest is possibly surmised unless you have other experience you can share😜

We had this told to us by a dealer here in France. They don't have the trained personnel to work on older stuff.. We were asked if we knew our way around the older models at our garage. 🤯

Unfortunately as you know they sell new cars and are a glorified kwikfit until the vehicles are out of warranty. For them it's business 🤷

The charge is not to do with the Warranty, it is to push you to the Indie because they regard anything over 3yrs as old. They don't have people trained to work on 'old' cars. I was told this when I took mine , at that time 8yrs old to my local...

What year is the engine?

On a plus note, once i got the head liner down, the metal roof was dry as a bone.. there.. I've gone and jinxed it

I wouldn't bother until it has worked for at least a week.

Thank you! Just need to remember how it all goes back together

Well done that man :D

Fixed!!! Crikey !!! Ignition comes on!!! Keys work!!!!!

Omg!! There is progress!!! But The frigging rf receiver is not near the sunroof it's near the tailgate!! Never mind! It's replaced and now i go through and test the keys. Green all the way!! Add both new keys... Key 1 successfully programmed...

That can be anything from a bad connection, the D+ goes via the BECM, to worn brushes. Worn brushes being the most likely. A new regulator assembly from Mobiletron is the way to go if it's brushes.

Walked past her and thought " I'm either dumb or it's love". Friend was complaining yesterday that her garage started work on her car for MoT without saying what it would cost. Well that's not on BUT she then said I'd sooner get rid if it isn't...

Hi White smoke, I am in France yes. Département 16 entre Angoulême et Bordeaux👍

or the clock ?? (wasn't that the old problem on the XJ6 V12 ??)

It'll only choose extanded mode if the vehicle thinks in real difficulty like being high centered. You might want to check the underside plastics if you've experienced extended mode😜

But I thought it was only a “buckle” in the upper tailgate. All the gubbins is in the lower. J

Hi and welcome to the asylum

It's not an injector the smoke is the wrong colour

Rimmer Bros sell the cam bolt. If you search my recent posts on coolant pressure I think I put the part number somewhere.

Island 4x4 are a good source for parts for land rovers

Not the crank bolt, the cam bolt. Could have sworn I typed cam. I'll edit it.

Nice, you've done something that 99% of those models and their drivers have never done 👍

Over-landed the RRS Auto 5.0… had to do it once to see what she was made of. It was better than advertised. Only complaint, need to be able to lock in extended height mode indefinitely to keep from having to reactivate b/w obstacles.
