Intermittent Engine Light TD5

Hi Guys,

Just got a 2001 Defender 90 TD5.

Occasionally the engine light comes on and I have to turn the car off and back on to get rid of it...

I think it's only happened about 3 times, and I've not noticed a lack of power (eg safe mode) or anything but didn't want to rev it with the light on anyway!

Only on 50,000 miles and fully serviced etc, if I take it to a garage will they be able to read the engine fault codes stored or would I have to take it to Landrover?(Ehem ripoff!) What tool would the normal garage need for that?

Thanks!

i take it you mean the engine management light ?
probably need to get it on a dino mate could be just fault codes or might be something bit more seriouse

Cheers mate, yes I suppose the management light... An orange light that looks like and engine! Sorry I'm no mechanic.

Would a normal garage be able to do this or would Landrover need to look at it?

I'm based near Hereford if anyone knows somewhere near that could help?

I'm not the best in UK's geography .... cant u find somebody here to help u? www.discovery2.co.uk/ Nanocom Locator, get help from your Land Rover Buddies!!!

It's a Defender not a Disco but thanks!

Doesnt matter for nanocom if it's Td5

Change the battery in your key fob.
