Afternoon/evening all,
Possibly a dramatic title to the thread but I am losing my tether with this now so I thought I'd throw the situation out there to see if it sounds familiar to anyone!
Right, friend's TD5 110, early one. ABS and TC lights on as well as brake warning light. Plugged Nanocom V1 into it, read the ABS ecu, Shutter valve switch electrical fault (intermittent) so I took the stance of a midwife and took the shuttle valve switch off the bottom of the abs modular whilst still in place (ie through the air inlet "hole" in the wing) and did the standard switch mod that everyone does to TD5 disco's with the same problem (when the switch itself is working and giving correct readings)
Cleared the fault, and still hasn't come back....the lights however, they are still on. ABS goes off and comes back on after starting, TC stays off but if you hit the brake pedal it comes on.
What bugs me, is that there is no fault, and yet the lights are still waving at me!!
The worrying thing is I've just got a TD5 Disco as a family run about so the 90 200tdi can still have fun....this best not be an example of things to come!
