Discovery 3 no drive with hdc fault limited gears available and park brake

Krisdog · Nov 14, 2018

Any help would be great. I have a discovery 3 auto I can select gear using the stick and it also shows on the clocks which gear I have selected. However when I accelerate nothing happens apart from the engine reving. The suspension is stuck down. I also have the following faults appear on the clocks...
Hdc fault no systems available
Park brake fault ( with orange light on and red light flashing)
And transmission fault limited gears available.

Things I’ve tried are brand new battery with no joy (I am charging it up right now but really don’t think that will help with it being brand new and Bosch.)

Releasing the hand brake using the release cable under the center console.

Gear linkage on the box is free and moving.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

You need to get the fault codes read, it’ll point you in the right direction.

It Turns out Iv made a bit of progress after plugging a nanocom in I was unable to talk with the bcu so I inspected all cables and connections in that area. The hand break fault and suspension fault was down to a plug under the passenger wheel arch being contaminated with dirt after cleaning these. All is fine apart from the limited gears available and I am still not able to get the car to move when in gear.

I have finally got round to sorting out the discovery after it being sat on the driveway for 6 months. For anyone else having the issues i had, my fix was it turned out to be the oil pump on the gear box. I hope this is helpful to sombody in the future. Thanks for all the advice sierrafery and johnlad.

Hiya

I have got exactly the same thing on my 08 Fatty, but I can drive mine

This morning it played up so stop lock unlock and this time it wouldn't start either

Used other key and it worked and started her

So have I got a gear box pump fault?. How much was the repair?

Thanks

Paul
