Ok thanks Saint, I'll go back to my mechanic and advise. He did say the newish oil was already quite dirty but was adament it shouldn't be making any noise from not being full. Thanks again.

I actually gave the mechanic a guide from either this website or one of the other forums when it was done. It was done by just undoing the drain plug but then a hose was disconnected or something while refilled to drain what was currently in the cooler or transfer box to push out whatever was...

Yep, the car was completely level when checked and when originally changed the correct procedure was completed with changing gears etc. I can't understand why its doing it. The noise is a high pitched whirring noise which increases as the revs build. Sounds like a poorly maintained taxi! Any...

Hi all, i had my gearbox oil changed earlier this year at 100k after I was starting to get the notorious cattle grid noise from it at certain speeds. Filter etc was also changed and the oil was totally drained from the cooler too. It was refilled with the correct oil, esso lt7741 or whatever it...

Allcomms was bought cheap and I have a strong feeling its a chinese version. It worked fine at first but ever since the ecu disconnect it just shows error. Sat nav also still playing up and always thinks I'm at one of only two locations that I travel past on the way to and from work.

Allcomms. Tx and rx flash but within a second the error lights up too.

Removed the ecu fuses one by one and tried to read codes when they were unplugged. Still an error each time :( Can't understand why this has suddenly started happening.

You're a great help Saint. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. It is very appreciated. I'll give the fuses a bash next weekend and will also have a read of your link. I did a lot of reading of your issues previously but the more the better. Thanks once again.

Thanks Saint. Is there anything else worth trying before? I think I was getting slight water ingress into the battery area due to a split drain hose although it might be totally unrelated. Also I think my allcomms is a chinese copy (should have guessed by the price) and the problem with reading...

Checked with eas ecu disconnected today. Still no difference. Allcomms shows error instead of linked when attempting to open an ecu. Seem to also have some electrical gremlins now too. Sat nav thinks I'm 10 miles away from where I actually am, rear window won't operate unless child lock is on...

Thanks, but how do I tell the system to look for it? Thanks too Saint. Found the headlight level ecu. One pin has corroded but with it unplugged the allcomms still can't read any ecu. Abs ecu disconnection also makes no difference.

While fault finding my suspension issue, I disconnected all the plugs on the main ecu to check for any corrosion etc. The engine had been off for 15 mins and the ecu looked good as new. Ever since I am unable to read land rover specific codes. The transmit and receive lights up on my code reader...

Thanks both, I'm going to dedicate this weekend to solving it. I'm suspecting its two separate issues. One with the abs and the other with the throttle body. I'm guessing the abs is something loose as it first came on after going over a bump in the road and then disappeared for a few days before...

Thanks Saint but I wish I could be as optimistic as you! Do you know if the allcomms has the ability to clear maf maps or clear ecu self learn and the like? If not are there any other tricks I can try? Also when abs sensors start throwing codes and the wiring seems fine, is there any other...

Just managed to crawl under the car and check the speed sensor. It looks fine with no damage to the cable or anything loose. Code shows front left speed sensor plausibilty. I reset the codes anyway and tried again but the same thing happens, Engine failsafe, hdc inactive, loads of lights on...

Thanks both, the help is really appreciated. I've spent a few hours fault finding but my working hours and the winter daylight time is proving a challenge to get the wheels off and have a look at the abs sensor. After further reading, I found that if I start the car with the MAF unplugged she...

Nightmare of a day today. I swear I spend more time fixing this car than using it. :( 2003 l322 vogue petrol Heavy rain on the motorway a couple of weeks ago. Air susp inactive message came up. Ordered all comms and carried on using it. After another week hdc inactive came up as well. Abs and...

Thanks guys, very much appreciated. I got home ok last night although the brakes felt very spongy towards the end of the journey. It it ok to reattach the current position sensor with a new bolt or do I have to go with a new unit? The only thing wrong with it appears to be that it has become...

Many thanks. Not even to limp home with it attached as it is? Thanks again.

Please see the attached pic. Its now tied on with the missus' hair bobble until I can limp home and replace it. I've had air susp inactive for the last two weeks (allcomms on order) but today hdc inactive came on after going over a bump and abs and traction control lights are on. The car then...
