RCM faults can be difficult to trace, what the fault reads is not always the fault present. You could try disconnecting the airbags, ignition off, and replacing with a 2 Ohm resistor, then repeating your test. If the same fault remains and least...

Not really familiar with this model, but did the early ones have a PBM ? I could be wrong, likely, but I think the control went direct to each rear wheel motor. There was also an emergency release behind the centre console, something that should...

The link rod on our freelander 2 failed while we were on holiday. I think that the rubber part that sits behind the ball and socket mechanism failed, causing the arm to fall out. I did a quick repair in a Croatian car park with a piece of...

Well done. Thanks for updating the forum - the ‘solves’ help others. 👍

If the starter is clicking then I would suggest the car is trying to crank it but it will not as you have a flat battery or missed of a cable or two, earth strap etc.

Hi, Thanks for the information. Thanks for your help. I am sure it's not going to be something that complicated. My mate has a diagnostic tool which I am getting tonight or tomorrow so I'll see what happens. Thanks amigo

No harm in running a diagnostic, personally I would go for Autell or Foxwell as they have wider vehicle coverage. If it just for LandRover I believe Lynx is a good one. Whatever you choose just ensure it covers your model and has plenty of life...

Hi, Clicking noise is away, when you try to start the engine, the Clicking noise is coming from the starter motor

I would imagine the ECM would need coding to the engine, but start with the basics. There is a click ? Is it quiet like a relay if so check engine bay fusebox for correct position and fitment. If it loud like a starter, make sure battery is fully...

This was very similar…no matter how many times I stored the height it would always drop to the floor…. So this issue was found out to be the plugs I had purchased were wired up wrong! They had power to read the height but no return to the SLS...

Ok, i am still not sure this was a smart buy, but this old 109 came home today (always wanted One). My first 30kms on a series, what an experience! First things i noticed: - speedometer and odometer dont work; - left blinkers dont work; - it...

Have you never followed(often old Fords) a car and when it indicates you get side and brake lights flashing at the same time? It's because the electric will try to find a path to ground. Often it takes a long route through other circuits...

I tried in all key positions and then by starting it and the bulb didn't light. In a rush of enthusiasm I 'borrowed' the 'AUX' FL (also 30A) and used that instead. The car started so I have been able to move it so it no longer blocks the garage...

Easy bit first, fuseable link is just a fuse, often of higher ampage. As you say the concern is how or why it blew. Your investigations so far seem to suggest it is not going to earth, however the earth could be introduced when you try to start...

It really grinds the gears, the scum cause hundred's of Pounds in damage for the potential of a few Quid !

Morning guys, So, over the weekend someone tried to break into my disco, they tried to prize the lock then tried to prize the doors damaging the door panels on the drivers side, only found out as the dog was barking. Absolutely fuming :mad: as...

Hi all, So i have had my new to me discovery for just over a year now, went through the MOT no problem, just needed a new rear number plate bulb. Gearbox went crap, couldn't select certain gears and whining loudly then couldn't select any gear...

Looks like a non standard USB also. Neat job.

So I have fitted the switch.

There will be space under the console for a switch, but you do have to be careful where you drill as there a few wires under there. You can't just hook up to the main beam like on older cars. Best advice would be to take a live feed from...

If the engine light has lit once, there should be a code stored to read. This will direct you better than changing parts randomly.

Thanks all. Going to start with Filter and LP Fuel pump. If that doesn't work, I will look at the turbo hoses for leaks, After that a gallon of petrol and a box of swan vesta I think :(

New Monroe shocks just arrived from Paddocks. Good enough to pass an MOT as mine are original, and are very rusted. Suppose I've got to get off my backside and fit them now.... Still, another bit knocked off the very long list. Might tackle the...

Across the middle perpendicular cavities: 30 - 87... if it doesnt crank that way and no click from the starter solenoid measure for live on the spade , if it has +12V the starter is fubar, if no power the problem is at the fusebox or the wire to...

You can cut them ?

It's one of those modern plastic coil sprung things. A car of some sort. Probably got those fancy wind up windows and such like.

Boot Board to fit Rover Sd1 Mk2. May fit other models. Metal clips and edging still attached. Could do with a repaint, but wood is solid. £35 0n0

Just a note to say..... Watch your peepers!!.... I am 49 and have lived a long life and spent many hours grinding/welding etc......all self taught and whilst aware of the dangers of the spinning discs of woe, never really given a stuff as nowt...

Plan is for it to be built at the current JLR factory in Changshu China I believe. No plans for sale in Europe. Yet ...
