Oh…and if you did reconnect the RF unit for diagnosis, remember to reblock it again before you battery goes flat 😉

Poor psu design in the modules.

Given what you’ve learned through this experience I doubt you’ll struggle with a lockout again, aslong as your micro switches stay good (they take decades to go). Just don’t go using superlock feature, ever

Is that the Valeo influence on many P38 bits ?

It is not unknown for the BECM to get confused when the battery volts go low, often it shows as the language changing to French

Have a drill chuck and access to a lathe.... I'm just not very careful!

I think it's penny pinching, the dip stick and tube costs money, a sensor is cheaper and fashionable for marketing.

Yes 100%. I also bought a second hand binacle but programming to the car seems even more problematic than repairing the old... just trying to work out what company to go with!

Any reviews about their service ? Seems a large variation in prices between the 2 of them. £250 is not a lot for a competent company's technology & time these days .. I had the alphanumeric ribbon (no instruments) replaced on my old 5 series...

Good point, there should be 2 of them. Ah only the one

Absolutely ace 😎👍

In (what I thought was a genius move) bought it as it's ULEZ exempt! (unlike my old mazda bongo!) well. done. me! But, just realising that the money I'm probably/ excitedly going to spend on it is going to out weigh that! not. so. well. done...

Hi and welcome! Selling the kidney will probably be to pay the ULEZ. But until then, we need pics of the new Landy. We like pics… 😁

So its finally flagged a fault this morning, 3-4th gear change, town speed slow pickup and while it changes if you remove or add throttle the gearchange is successful, exactly the same symptoms and actions as it did 60k miles ago when i first got...

If you want a professional job I'd recommend Royal Steering Wheels in Aylesbury. Had a Saab 9-5 steering wheel done by them and was amazing finish. Bit of a trek but could post as an option. Or I pass by that way often and could LRFerry for you.

You have others why not measure them? Try a motorcycle panel rubber thingy, or many other car makers they all seem to use them. They sure as hell dont make them in house so most peeps will use the same...

Well we are all relieved that you are back up and actually "running" again. :D

I remove the covers on my engines as they only cover issues 😜

Well it doesn't break the bank. I've read it would be better to replace both front latches. I'm glad there is an alternative to the original land rover ones that are quite expensive. If somebody can point me in the right direction for a lhd MG...

And now you have a spare latch 😉 Thanks for posting the result. Makes big difference for the next person that comes along 👍

Well yeah on to the next repairs 😊 transfer case needs replacing

What love it again :D. J

I set it LHD now it was actually already supposed to be like that

Yes that was the first thing I did 😊

Thanks for the telling us, you have a result. We all come across something new everyday. So is the BECM set to RHD or LHD woud be the next question, and should you change it to avoid future issues? Now you can love it again :D. J

As we speak the car is out of the alarm state and can be started! First I want to thank everybody who chimed in with information and sharing their experiences. Now the solution I hear you think. So all the drivers door latch tests returned...

If I remember correctly, NRV-1 is the one facing opposite the other two. The brass end is towards the tank, so the air pressure closes the NRV.

Look what I've got hold of! Wood is good, leather is damaged and the wrong colour but I've ordered a repair kit so see how that pans out as I've never done it before.

You should have can bus errors relating to the clocks in the cars memory to do with coms. Classic solder points or chip failure. The discos suffer from this also. Resulting in none start and hazards flashing😬

You may be lucky to get reply matey 🤔
