Cheers, what route did you take for new wiring? I can’t see how to get into the engine bay or would you try and get “outside” then down the left chassis tail and across?

I did wonder if I’d be best to start from scratch and take out the extra joints. under the coolant tank.

I rewired from sensor to the plug under the coolant tank. I’ll strip the glovebox out now and have a look at rewiring from coolant tank to ECU.

Sorry, the left is always constant, that’s the only reason I mentioned it. Rewired the right side only, left side is 100% original wiring just a new sensor. I’d just been out to it again as you were replying and the right side is now fluctuating 4.97 to 5.02v. Again, I hadn’t touched any...

As there “appeared” to be voltage fluctuation when manipulating the harness to the new plug I rewired it through to the plug under the coolant expansion tank. It just felt there might be a damaged wire where it disappears into the trunking on the chassis. Far too tight to join up there hence the...

Thanks Stranger and stranger, went out and fiddled again and no voltage showing to right hand ride height sensor. Left always shows 5.02v, right was something like 4.87v, I’d assumed it was a variation within tolerance. Just now right side is 0.02v. Looks like I should rewire the plug again...

Sorry I haven’t been back since, not been too good (not Covid). I fitted a new Wabco compressor. First time I stopped the engine she sat down on the bump stops. When she did stay on air I noticed a listing, down on the right side. After a few days on the bump stops then the left side followed...

Thanks, I’ll check around the CCU/fuse box before stripping the tail door. I assume you’re thinking damage to both the brake light a the central locking wiring. Probably worth ordering the second brake switch too then.

Thanks, I’ve got a manual so assume they just fitted the same built up brake pedal.

Things have got stranger today. I’ve refitted the upgraded switch and loom adapter. Brake lights now at slightest touch again :) I called a couple of garages yesterday, neither could look at it until the new year. Second chap was very helpful and asked everything I’d checked. Told him I’d had...

Thanks, I’ve got a second little square switch but wonder if it’s superfluous to requirements as it’s cruise control stop which I don’t have. Does you know if it would still throw a fault?

Thanks, I’ll look at the tail door wiring in the morning. I must say I wasn’t planning to keep this brake switch which only illuminates with a near emergency stop but I was clutching at straws fitting it. I’ll also check if there’s a relay. Sounds like a ball ache to check wiring from lights to...

Hi all, I’m about at my wits end and would appreciate any advice before sending the old girl into a garage. I’ve got a 2006 FL1 td4 and whilst out at the weekend the 2 amigos came on, TC and HDC. I was near home and once back realised I’d lost my brake lights, I also checked the fuses and No 2...

I think I’m going to order a new compressor. Island 4x4 are £260 plus VAT for a compressor and £140 plus VAT for the valve block alone. Sod’s law says the 16 year old compressor will fail if I just put a valve block on it. I do agree though, no clicking first time does point to that area...

I was just coming back with an update and saw your reply @sierrafery Have been cycling exhaust valve on/off and it’s currently clicking on but much much quieter and less positive sounding than the Left and Right valves. Should it sound as loud and strong as the others?

Thanks, just tried that. No audible response to SLS exhaust valve ON/OFF, have worked the buttons many times each way. Left and right valves sound as though they’re working both ways. If I go to SLABS utilities I can raise and lower both sides OK. Just been down the road and back, checked the...

Thanks but, yes, I’d prefer to keep the air ride.

Hi, I’ve got a strange fault with SLS and apologies for it being an epic. Disco 2 7 seat 2004 59k miles. Pair new airbags 4 years ago. Back story, a couple of months ago I was recovered home after returning to a car park and finding it on the bump stops. I fitted 2 new ride height sensors as...

Your husband will love it! He'll be like a kid in a sweet shop. Make sure he saves a backup to SD card before changing any parameters or at minimum note in detail any changes he makes so anything can be reversed. No nasty surprises that way. You won't regret it, they're a fantastic tool/gizmo...
