ACE Amber light three fault codes ???

evening all i have just purchased a disco 2 with the amber ace light on i have pluged it in and have the following codes
0023 pressure signal out of range,
0033 direction control valve fault,
0041 hydraulic pressure too low.

Any ideas I'm thinking ace pump or perhaps oil and filter change ??

what kind of code reader, if it was nanocom double check with T4, hawkeye or lynx before you take any action cos the bits are not cheap and in the ACE area nanocom used to give erratic readings

start the engine undo the tank's cap and see if the fluid is nicely turning in it and it's not bubbleing

Hi I used autodiagnos the oil is swirling well in the resevoir? So is nanocom a good tool as I was looking to purchase one?

nanocom is a brilliant tool, only on the ACE side it used to make tricks, i know nothing about that ''autodiagnos'' tool but it should have gave you which DCV is at fault cos there are two of them numbered 1 and 2, for the pressure fault codes the most suspect is the pressure transducer but better double check with one of the dedicated tools i mentioned if you can, if you can't do that change the transducer on your own risk: www.discovery2.co.uk / ACE amber light - Pressure Transducer , a new filter would be a good move too if you know it wasnt ever changed

There is a line from the film 'Aliens' that goes a bit like: "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

And so it goes with ACE faults which is notoriously bad - just get rid of it. Howk the pump out and replace it with a pulley and shortened belt. My system started to leak (front driver's side piston) - LR specialist did the bypass for £140, which is much cheaper than endlessly chasing your tail on what is essentially a comfort option.

There is another film too named "The Flintstones", so if the engine starts missbehaveing remove it, cut the footwell and drive it like they did... it's cheaper than fixing it

I believe a D1 does this automatically whenever it is told that the MOT is due. And the boot floor for good measure.

All sorted pressure transducer at fault and as for removing it why, it totally changes the handling it great goes around corners nice and level.

To be honest I removed mine last week following a drastic leak. Not noticed a massive difference at all in the handling been around a round about 30/35pmh and doesn't really tilt much more than before and can still get the back end out without feeling like it's going to tip over.... The above statement was purely for testing out the difference is like to add. It made sense to remove it £200 for pipes or £280 for new conversion kit with no future issues. Win win I say

Costs more to remove, stuff that, paying extra for a downgrade

I agree, plus i can get pipes made if needed if or when i spring a leak plus i prefer the handling now to what it was.
