Thanks. Just looking through all the paperwork once more and can see the it actually got a new compressor and tank just last year. Maybe I’m just not used to it compared to the D2. I’m gonna order a diagnostic anyways, god knows I’ll need it.

Thanks - I didn’t realise there was a tank. Just curious - if your compressor is decent - roughly how long does it run on yours? Robb

Evening. I’ve just bought my first Disco 4 3.0 TDV6 (after my TD5 broke down for the third time in a month - it’ll now be lovingly restored!). Anyway, loving the 4. Only slight concern is that when I raise the suspension the front pops up quite smoothly, followed by the rear, less so, and...

Hi all The power steering to reservoir return feed pipe on my friends Freelander 2 “popped” off the other day - she lost all fluid and upon investigation I found that the plastic collet connection (highlighted in the pic) had for some reason failed - I reconnected it but it came off again later...

Thanks - just ordered!

Many thanks... ok that makes sense. Running new wiring seems like a good next move. Am I correct in thinking they are 0.5 mm? Cheers

So 8 months later and I've got the time to look at this once more (along with the damned 3 amigos) Yesterday I checked continuity between sensors and SLABS ECU (C0654) and also from sensor to orange plug next to engine fuse box (C0377) - noted that only 3 wires corresponding to the LH sensor...

Thanks for suggestions guys - will have a look tomorrow!

SLABS ECU indeed! Without looking myself - Is there a way to swap the sensors without removing hubs? Definitely don’t fancy taking two of those off. One is trouble enough! Haha

So I checked for continuity between the sensor plug and BCU (C0505 and C0516) and all seems ok there, so maybe splicing wire not solution. After fiddling with stuff once more decided to drive up road and see if any change in behaviour. All ok until I dropped into a rut back down drive way and...

There were none - it happened after clearing the FL sensor intermittent code that accompanies the 3 amigos… no new codes logged. Only thing I did between the previous odd behaviour and the new was disconnect sensor plug and re clean, so maybe it’s something to do with the plug connector. I’m...

Well… as of this afternoon the horn is no longer reliably triggering the amigos, but some very weird stuff happening. I just cleared codes and went to take for a spin to test the horn, and the TC was kicking in whenever I eased up the clutch to get moving. Horn now failing to trigger a...

But good idea - will check around the horn!

Aye shuttle valve is what I will do when exhausted all other options, which will probably be soon!! I guess it does seem like it’s related to a ground fault somewhere. Just hoping the horn thing can narrow it down!

So… MOT due so time to sort the most recent visit from the three amigos. When they first appeared I believed it was simply a case of replacing hub as the bearings soon after gave in, but quality replacement (with sensor) didn't solve the issue. Cleaned ground points in front of air filter...
