Disco 2 Checking wiring loom from XYZ switch

I'll be digging into it as soon as I can and will report back. Unfortunately, that's unlikely to be in the next couple of weeks - unless I become tremendously enthusiastic in the evenings - because my weekends are fully booked. However, I am very appreciative of your encouraging words.

Mate, all LR owners end up giving encouragement as it is the most important tool in our box and so necessary when working with these infernal beasts.
They are like women, you love them but they can infuriate you in almost equal measure.

And so will mine, well a mixture of relief for you and a sardonic one for the LR specialist. But let's not jump the gun!

Yep. To be fair to the bod, he seems to be receiving a great deal of grief from his firm which I will not detail and which is dampening his enthusisam for LR products!

+1 for the above, and here is a thread that includes pics of the wear to the loom caused by the P clip.
You may want to ask the spannerers if they actually removed the clip and the loom to check it, as it ain't obvious

I could not see this damage until the loom was removed.

It had been rubbing on the sharp edge on the front of transfer box.

I think sometimes people rely too much on diagnostics rather than old fashioned working out what makes it happen (in my case wet weather conditions) and taking something apart and looking at it.

Seemed to cure the flashing m & s lights.

Modern LR products, expensive, jewel-bedecked piles of sh!t with stuff on there no one needs and yet which owners demand be fixed, yet you have to take the body off to change a plug almost.
I'd be looking to commit hara-kiri if i was him!
Better to open up on his own dealing with all stuff up to td5s and nowt after!
Local bloke to me does that!

Hi Chaps, just to let you know that I have not had time to dig about under the D2 but I will report back as soon as I have done so. Something for the Christmas hols in lieu of visiting aged relatives perhaps?
