Hi, It's my first adventure with Landrover. Very long and bad - bought 05 Freelander V6 model 3 years ago. Car driven only for 30 days, as seller sold me it with blown head gasket. I've then tried to fix it with 4 mechanics in the country I'm currently at (3rd world country). They took from me a lot of money, did 3 general renovation of engine (exchanging pans couple times, some cylinders, pistons etc.). None of them fixed the car. Because during all of these, I've lost my job, cannot bought a new car and needed to stay in here.
Decided to finish repair myself - exchanged totally both engine heads, as mechanics did not make measures of height of the old heads - they were weared off, and never should be used again. That fixed engine problem. In meantime I needed to fix many failures of previous "work" of mechanics in here, including many broken screws, needing to tap many screw holes. Needed even to make one engine mount, as they lost it during their "work" (along with couple, less necessary pieces).
Ouh, and forgot to tell - exchanged front diff myself too, because after engine repair and driving 50km it breaked apart.
Car after 2.5 years at different mechanics started to work again!
MY CURRENT PROBLEM.
Car is driving nice. But after reaching ~40 km/h I've got at once 5 errors - ABS, TC, HDC, 4F and Brake light. Gearbox is switching gears nicely, no problem with that, reverse works fine. On computer I get following ABS Errors - C1018, C1034, C1151. First two are for the both front ABS sensors - I've asked for diagnose them, and they both shows proper speed. So looks like ABS sensors are fine. Last one is fault of CAN bus.
So far I did - rechecking the cables - checked barrel connectors. Found 2 slightly unisolated cables near he barrel connectors - isolated them again (they weren't broken). I've cleaned and fixed brake switch (brake lights work, waiting currently for new one anyway). I've checked resistance of gearbox sensors - they were all fine.
One of the mechanic confessed that errors came in when he exchanged CV Joints, I've bought new ones, and saw that they got slightly different design - exchanged them, but no difference on dash, but ABS is not engaging on every braking now.
