hi guys,
well im new here so forgive me if these questions have already been asked, bought a nice RR there a few weeks ago and was going well for about a week, then when the tank got low the power dropped and had trouble starting it. so new fuel pump was ordered and has just arrived will be fitted this week. then i got "Gearbox Fault" message up on the dash in the same week, box went in to limp mode and RR dealer coulnt comuncate with it so i went and bought a new transmission ECU, BINGO! fixed, then the air suspension went last sunday, got new rear air springs shipped and fitted them, back to RR dealer for diagnostic! to be told there is a fault in the "Valve Block", so hey presto went out and got a new valve block fitted it and nope it didnt rise, went to RR and there T4 diagnostic broke! so been on the bumpstops for a week! (must point out i live in a rural part of ireland roads are very bad and my spine and liver and not happy with me!!) there is obviously a fault in the ECU that needs to be cleared and tracked a guy down that has a diagnostic machine to hopefully clear the faults.
here's my question, can software besides RSW solutions stuff be downloaded and do this kinda stuff ourselves? sick of going back and fourth to RR
2nd i know all these faults ive had are common enough with the P38 (mine is 2000 year) surely i must be over the worst! might i also point out that until 2 weeks ago i had no clue about this kinda stuff, funny how having a car you love will make you do so much research your eyes begin to bleed!
thanks in advance for any info!
