No, it means that if you go back to Halfords they are going to take you for a ride. Of course you can remove and refit your own battery. There are just a couple of precautions before you start:- As @freelance has aleady said, you'll need the radio code, and You'd be advised to leave the...

This could get confusing with two threads on the same subject started by the same member:- https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/disco-1-srs-light-on-all-the-time.339187/ Maybe we could ask @blue beasty if he could combine the two threads.

The OP seems to be convinced that his problems lie in one or both of the crash sensors. I have to ask whether he has had the SRS fault codes read, or whether he's starting at the front end and working back to the light changing everything as he goes? From what I know of the SRS system, the usual...

From RAVE for the D1:- "Two different SRS systems are fitted to Discovery 1. The Distributed SRS which has two crash sensors located in the engine compartment on the chassis longitudinals and the Single Point Sensing (SPS) SRS which has a single crash sensor located in the Airbag diagnostic...

There has always been some confusion regarding what happens to a "refusal to test" vehicle from what I can see, especially so since the "new" rules regarding the classifications of "dangerous, major and minor fails". My interpretation of the rules is that you can take your vehicle away for...

No problem, half of it was my own fault anyway! It's a good story though.

Whatever you, DO NOT press that button!!!!

After last Christmas, I hardly think that's a nice thing to say. My ankle still isn't quite right, but thank you for the general sentiment. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/stuck.324403/

I'd go for the 072 as the main battery. A leisure battery has different charge/discharge characteristics.

As @discool has implied, there are three major spec considerations when choosing an uprated battery, length, width and height. Generally, the larger the battery, the better the electrical spec. Specifications such as capacity in Ampere/hours and cold cranking current, CCA will usually be uprated...

Unfortunately it seems like many people will see a warning light and after the initial "shock" will ask themselves whether the vehicle is still running and if the answer is yes they'll somehow be able to mask it out of their vision. Even as far back as the D2, if the 3 amigos appeared what did...

Whenever the Td5 engine starts behaving oddly, the first check that must be made is for traces of oil in the red plug on the engine ECU. If there is oil in the plug, the injector harness will need to be replaced and any residual oil drained/cleaned out of the wiring and the ECU, should it be bad...

The folding mirrors ECU is, or should be located up behind the passenger's glovebox. Often referred to as "The passenger's footwell", but you'll probably have to completely remove the glovebox to gain access:- The connector shown (C0907) is the only connector to the ECU.

When I did mine, I needed, was advised to use a 32mm hole saw to cut the opening in the steering wheel trim to take the switch assembly.

I would have thought that the procedure to restart after letting the AdBlue run out would be in the owner's handbook.

Yes, that would mean replacing the T-Box for one with the CDL internals in it. The 300tdi linkage can be used with a bit of re-engineering, but the D2 linkage in available from a number of outlets, including Ashcroft for about 350 quid. If you're going to the expense of a replacement T-Box, it...

It would all depend on whether or not the internals are installed in the T-box. The usual way to find out is to feel for the actuating spigot on the top of the T-box. You should be able to find it at the front end of the box, above the front output shaft .

I'm afraid you're probably going to have to bite the bullet. Those switches ain't cheap. The new prices for the kit are around 100 quid or more, but you do get the little bracket for holding the steering wheel switches as well.

Be aware that electrical faults very rarely cease of their own accord. It will reappear in the future. At the moment all you can do is regard the fault as "intermittent" and continue trying to locate it.
