I have a 53 plate Discovery 2 Td5 Auto.
In fact I have 2, and the subject vehicle of this post might end up being sold. Its a lovely car in good nick, but has a few teething problems I am trying to solve, having lived with them since buying it but now deciding it would be nice to fix them in case I do sell it.
The one which is the subject of this post is that the instrument cluster does not appear to be synced with the BCU for the type of car.
I have no sport mode/manual mode green lights on ignition test or while running, and there is no gear display in the LCD window. The XYZ switch is set up correctly and I have all gears and lights on the gear shift.
I have a Hawkeye Total diag tool which can see the gearbox mode button being pressed, and I have tested the circuits into the instrument cluster and know a signal is being sent when the mode button is pressed.
I have also swapped out the cluster from my other 2002 D2 (also a Td5 Auto) with a known working set of mode lights and LCD window, and the same issue occurs (after faffing with the mileage sync).
In a similar vain, the glow plug light does not work on test or ignition.
The conclusion I have come to is that for some reason the cluster is set to petrol and manual (appreciate the LEDs might have gone but using a known good cluster and having the same issue rules this out).
Hawkeye Total lets me set the BCU to auto (no option to swap between petrol and diesel from what I can see) but this does not seem to transfer to the cluster.
I have done a lot of research on the various forums and have come across 2 or 3 threads with the same issue, but the only solution presented is that Nanocom has an instrument cluster menu which can fix the above, and Hawkeye does not.
Is there any other experience of this? Is it correct that this is a Nanocom fix only (I suspect that a Main Dealer could do it with Testbook but again, any experience?).
If it is a Nanocom only fix, anyone with a Nanocom near PE28 postcode (east of Huntingdon) who would be willing to help for a bit of cash. Would rather pay for an enthusiast service than try my luck at our local main dealers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
