A used ecu will probably not work because of the immobilizer system, not saying you could not get round this but might take specialist equipment. There is a company just next to me that can test ecus but I'm in Kent, England. I think they have more offices around the world though I will...

Yes it looks like computer fault then, maybe the original coil was faulty and damaged the ecu. Getting your ecu tested and repaired might be a better option than replacing it as I'm not sure if a second hand one would have to be set up to work on your car and a new one could be quite expensive...

I have a little bit of paperwork about this, according to my info coil six should have 3 wires to it brown/pink battery live black earth black/blue the ecu signal your referring to, that connects to pin 31 at engine ecu you could try putting a temporary wire from there to the coil just to...

Check fuse f14 (10 amp) and inhibitor switch as well. The tailgate window motor is controlled by the multifunction control module so would be worth getting it scanned to see if commands are being seen by the module. The fact that the window moves when you open the door means the module is...

James, vehicles are potentially a lethal weapon so any regulation is not unnecessary interference, I'm sure if you were sitting on a plane ready for take off you would like to think anybody that worked on it was properly trained and everything had been double checked. Dave, If you are a mechanic...

Well I believe home servicing should be illegal. If a chap is to do repairs on your heating system he has to be corgi registrered yet any idiot with a spanner can atempt repairs on a car then drive it down a public highway. This can't be right and needs to be changed. No Dave I have never drove...

James, The problem is that most people who are good 'hands on' often aren't very good intellectual wise and so will go crashing in often poorly prepared. Like a coast guard rushing out to person in dire need of medical attention only to realise he has left important equipment back on shore. This...

Dave, ignorance may be bliss for you but if/when the day comes when your standing over a person fighting for their life the walls of reality will come crashing down and you will then (allbeit too late) realise the selfishness and sheer stupidity of your actions. James, I'm sure your friend does...

I would imagine with plug disconnected (ignition on) you should have 5 volts on one wire and an earth on the other. With sensor connected and when engine cold I would think about 3 ish volts and should drop steadly as engine warms up. The other wire should be an earth so should read 0 volts at...

My god man, surely you can not be serious! It does not matter how often it happens the fact is it does happen and people get hurt. I'm sure you wouldn't be so quick to condone such actions if it was a member of your family hurt in such a incident. Also after browsing this forum I don't think...

490 ohms sounds about right. I think it would be best to get the codes read first to find out which circuit has a problem, then do some testing. Will save you a lot of time and money in the long run Regards Matthew

I do some work myself on the range rover but only electrical as I trained as a electrician some years ago so I have a understanding, but what I would not do is mess about with transmission/brakes/steering as this could have consequences not only for you but the poor person you hit on the road...

Why don't you measure the voltage of each wire on sensor when its cold and then when its hot and compare difference to see if its working correctly.

Why would you want to remove it? the egr valve is very important for emissions reasons!

Are you for real? first you say it stinks of petrol when trying to start then you say you think it has lack of petrol as its draining back to the tank, which one is it?! Temporary fitting clear pipe would allow you to see if the fuel was draining back, not rocket science is it?

I think you would be better off taking the vehicle to your local landrover dealer, as messing about with things you know nothing about could end in disaster. As for 'playing' in a local quarry i'm struggling to comprehend the stupidity of this. Not only is it dangerous but also highly...
