Hello to all who offered good input to my original post and subsequent thoughts / hopes. After a fairly lengthy wait, only due to garages (two involved) being really busy & getting me looked at. The problem is the R/H camshaft/s linking chain had snapped, dare I say what a relief. Having changed...

I've located the CKP sensor on the workshop manual (sdv6 pages) it apparently reads data from a CKP ring, that has 60 - 2 poles and the timing of the passing of the two missing poles feeds back to the ECU were it gets acted on. Not having scanned the power train, I feel it is being diagnosed...

Hi lynall. My car is due to be moved to a garage with facility to remove body etc, expecting the worse. I know this is still clutching at straws but; I went to remove personal stuff and took my Foxwell 640 scanner as so far it hasn't been done. I got a PO341 A 1 DTC. Crankshaft position sensor...

Thanks for replying, been reading a fair bit regards owners complaining about that, its hard to believe that a brand name like LR would except such a weak point failure. When a bit more investigation has been done & if that's the issue, I aim to contact LR and report as a "Known Problem" then...

Three days ago the car just died. Having just left town I accelerated from 30 - "Unsure"; its something I have previously done post passive DPF re-gen just to see if any light smoke is issued. If there was, after that all is normal and all ok. I say not sure of the attained speed because I was...

Apologies for not replying sooner, I did contemplate replacing the whole support etc (a good kit price) if only! so, basically the little sensor that actually fits into the filter, connects to the water in fuel circuit and a 2nd sensor on the filter support reacts to either pure fuel of just...

Thought I'd fixed it. The water in fuel code P226400. Restricted performance been on and off for for years; it has been checked at Indi LR garage (where it is serviced) nothing found and code cleared. I recently replaced the fuel filter and discovered "bare wire" where the WIF sensor cable...

Hi Guy's. Recently bought a Foxwell 680Pro to get to know / understand the car better. I managed to track down a "Water in fuel" with restricted performance warning. Turned out to be a damaged sensor cable (filter to connector) now replaced and DTC cleared, quite pleased. Scrolling through data...

Hi Duke. Quick question, I've looked at the Nanocom & wondering if you are aware of a unit that is any cheaper than the £550 that will also Bleed the ABS Module on my 2013 D4 3L Diesel sdv6. I am still not sure if that ABS Bleed is absolutely necessary if there are currently no problems with...

Following the information here, I have ordered an Ancel LD700 which covers my D4 3.0L SDV6. Another e-bay buy £89, of course I could have taken it in to be done, but where's the fun (and learning) in that. Thanks sierrafery.

Thanks for your reply, so straight forward, been looking at "cartoon" type moving images and module re-builds etc, and it seems there is a small volume that is only moved when the ABS is called into action. A very clever system indeed. Cheers. Mick

Hi Guy's. Apologies for being a pain. Can you help, I am trying to understand how you get fresh brake fluid into the ABS Module after replacing the fluid throughout the brake system. Without having to buy an electronic gadget. I have seen / read that after replacing the fluid and ensuring there...

Hi gstuart. You can never get too many additional safety tips, a simple fuse removal, plus the off-road height & axle stands, certainly something less to be concerned about. My intention is; to remove as much fluid as possible from the reservoir using a "baster" but leaving the two outlets...

That sounds like a simple solution; I hadn't thought about the chassis lifting as well (not a mechy) , then just slip a stand in place as back-up. I'll give that one a go. Thanks Pawl

Good Morning all, quick question. Planning to flush and replace the brake fluid, have everything that's needed but was wondering..... Is it necessary (or even advantageous) to remove the spare wheel from a D4 to pinpoint the rear centre line lifting point ?, I've never seen the lift point so...

Disco1. Thanks for your & others advice. The TOPDON was the business, it showed REPLACE on the 1st test, I removed the cables from the battery after bridging them with 12v battery but noticed the neg battery pole was a "tiny" bit loose. Connected the smart charger and all seemed fine, it went...

Hi again Disco1BFG, hope you can help. I have a good condition 12v wet cell battery, I was considering connecting it to the starter battery clamps then removing the clamps from the starter battery terminals leaving the flooded battery connected and "maintaining the settings" whilst I re-charge...

Hi, and thanks for your reply / advice. I've read a bit more on the issue and apparently 12.4v is not unusual with the Disco 4 with all the internal monitoring going on. As a replacement is £200 + the BMS re-set, now I am not certain the battery has "had it" so have ordered the Topdon BT200...

Good afternoon, a little advice please Gents. As far as I know the starter battery is the original factory fitted, I've been humming & harring, wether to replace it, sometimes a couple of cranks to start. As usual I've read all sorts of stuff, might upset onboard electrics (re-callibrate...
