Now here's a Warning symbol I've NEVER seen before

I hope you got the replacement trick which means battery disconnected before the swap then after reconnection ignition on II 5 minutes for digital data syncronisation

Hi, just did the swap and the trick... no change same symptoms. Suggestions?

Unfortunately for this symptom you can't rule out things in a different way and the IDM(fusebox) is usually the first call cos it's cheaper, it's plug and play and it can trigger that crossed B as well as the BCU. You was the unlucky one, in this case you have to swap the BCU but this one needs complex programming with dedicated tester ....... if you dont have access to tester another option is this https://callrova.com/land-rover-discovery-2/ or other ECU repair shops cos there are some in the UK

Thanks sierrafery for that, typically my luck. Have just spent a fortune on the damn thing, clutch, flywheel, reconditioned transfer box and power steering pipes. Hopefully this isn't another big bill. Love the old girl, but pockets are not bottomless. How much do you think I can expect to pay for this? Have sent the CallRova guys an email. Also have used BLRC local LR specialist recently - expensive though, I've dropped nearly £2k with them in the past 6 months.

Thanks for your help, doesn't seem to be anyone else out there with any pearls of wisdom. Will keep you posted.

I can't guess how much would charge thoe guys for repair, others are asking for £150, another option is to buy a good used one, e'g https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Land-Rover-...t-YWC106350-/253672730080?hash=item3b1012ade0 , magnify this map https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?ll=4.370151119207986,0&hl=en&oe=UTF8&msa=0&z=2&ie=UTF8&mid=1PmbphOvO47RAsn1ZdQFDD-ed-zo and if you see someone close to you, register to http://www.thed2boysclub.co.uk/index.php and contact the man via the forum, those guys are on that map cos they are up to offer friendly help

btw, the BCU is completely programmable, it doesnt matter from what age D2 was removed, important is to be fully functional

So swapped the replacement fuse box with my original. No change initially. But about an hour later all started working fine. Been 12 hrs now and all still seems fine. Cant get my head around this at all. Loose wire? Will take it to BLRC for a once over anyways I think- don’t want to get stranded. Looking good though, maybe she likes the new side steps I fitted yesterday lol G

Typical dry joint behaviour... i mean within the BCU cos the IDM was ruled out... the problem will come back no worries

Taking to to BLRC tomorrow - now won't start, "no crossed b" this time, just spluttered out and will not restart. Will keep you posted on what the BLRC guys come up with.
