Thank you also for the advice. I know about brake light switches, had to fit three or four over the years with a D1. I'll start checking this afternoon. But you surprise me regarding the working bulbs. Always thought working or not and nothing in between. Best...Graham

Thank you Gary,I appreciate your help. I'll try the easy things first then get back to you if I should need (read will) need more help. Bloody car, looking at the old D2 now with a lot of new love for it :-) Graham

Hi Gary, thanks for your reply. The two fault codes start with the letter U. In fact U0416-86 and U0428-86 both Temporary. I know the Foxwell should see live data regarding the steering angle, but that'll have to wait until tomorrow. Yes all three brake light bulbs are working, they were the...

Evening, Hope someone can offer advice please. Okay it's the 2005 D3 my sister gave me because of the never ending problems she had with it, well it's thrown up the HDC warning. Had its MOT last week and had to have new rear brake pipes because of severe corrosion even though it passed its...

If nobody minds....has anybody got a wiring diagram/info for this amp, just the +12 volt pin would do. I've got one of these amps that came out of my 1998 300TDI. It must have had a DC offset problem cos the drive units were welded solid. Thanks in advance to,anyone who can help.

Neither does my NT510 recognise my 2000 D2 V8 but it does recognise my 2005 D3. But for the money well worth the hassle.

Got a rat living in my D3 engine bay at the moment. You can have him if you want. Only way I can keep it out is with a tub of thinners in there. Seems they don't like the smell....

Thanks for all your replies. Looking at the terminals and the state they're in I've pulled the battery this time and I've a couple of jobs to do with, in my view, better the battery disconnected. It's charging from an Absaar one now and there's no,way that'll go near the car. Yes I've got the...

Just to be safe may I please ask is it okay to charge the battery in car with a Lidl smart charger or does the battery have to be disconnected or even removed ? If so I presume positive lead on battery and negative onto an earth pole somewhere or both on battery ? Again sorry but that works on...

Thank you both for the replies. I'll try the Dr Trannie and see how it goes. If a Logic 7 system has an amp in the back, from a Google search, then no. But it started working again when I. Brought it into the garden to park it up til I get the insurance sorted. Thanks again.

Hello, sorry it's long but....... Two or three weeks ago I asked for a bit of advice about what to check before I brought this 2006 D3 home from France that's been given to me by my sister in law. I flew over last Friday to pick it up and apart from half litre of oil the car nothing else...

In my mind it's old, she's had stupid faults show up that I know even with my D2 would mean a new one. Only fault she knows is it's a bastard to start in cold, and I mean very cold. She had a fault light show before Christmas when turning and towing a loaded trailer on wet ground. The way it was...

Thank you all. The engine was replaced about 5000 miles ago, it's crank snapped and it's now got an engine out of a Range Rover with 23k on the clock. All belts etc were done at the time. It passed its CT, French MOT just before Christmas. Only reason I've got it is that she hates it with a...

Sorry if this is a stupid question but my knowledge, what ever that is, ends at D2's. I'm going over to France in a couple of weeks to pick up the D3 given to me by my sister in law. I've never driven one nor sat it one so no idea at all if they need anything other look see's ? So apart from...

When my sister and husband went there they we the only English in that area, a few years later full of English but now most have returned to the UK. When we lived in l'Allier there was a group of Brits who met each month to eat Cheddar cheese and Walls sausages. We didn't join in......! Mind you...

Not sure why they moved to France in the first place, it was thirty odd years ago I've forgotten and possibly she has. But the Dordogne, well they thought it beautiful that simple.

Thank you for your offer. The car is in the Dordogne and I'll bring it back, I hope, in January. I know there's a decent mechanic down there, he's Dutch and seems to know the Discovery fairly well so if anything needs sorting before he'll do it. We lived in the Allier near Montlucon and honestly...

Sorry something went wrong with a reply. But yes I know about French garages lived there for eleven years and there was no way I'd let them loose on my two D1's I had whilst I was there. Even getting tyres fitted was a challenge. Like we know simple is best, but she's had enough of it now. On...

Thanks for this but looking through the D3 owners handbook it shows a triangle with an exclamation mark in the centre for TC operating. Could it be that simple because the car was on grass pulling a trailer and turning at the same time. She mentioned juddering, I know what my D2 feels like when...
