Took sport for mot Monday failed on head light, main and dip only, stripped bumper off, light out it had water in, dryed it with a blow heater and a fan for a day seems to have dryed fitted new hid, running light back main and dip still nothing...

Ur so very welcome mate in finding data etc ,, indeed that ATF temperature sensor is well tucked away as part of the loom , ref - number 4, ref The fluid temperature sensor is integrated into the internal wiring harness within the transmission...

Pulled motor and box today on D3 only had sump and r/h engine mount and lifted out, decided to carry on and strip box off and refit to other motor stripped off egrs and switched them, changed one cooler as there was a little puddle in l/h link...

Oh dear, sorry to hear. If you want to try and DIY then search for @tyregeezer threads he seems to be a glutton for this sort of D3 punishment, but has done well and threads/posts are detailed so could help :). Good luck with it. J

Thanks all. I will look at the damage and then start the search for a reasonably priced engine.

If you can before you buy it, hear it running from cold👍

As the guys said cheaper option is to but a s type or xf and transplant, strip to block, heads, rocker covers, you can hear it running first Yes not to bad at all to remove complete with gearbox I basically only remove transfer box and...

Come up with a plan fo the sport, going to remove egr and cooler, this will give access to well ish to gearbox module, which I'll remove and check the pins/plug you never know, have managed to talk ecutesting.com to take a look at it for me if...

Ran diagnostic this morning was indeed getting transmission temperature code, module appears to show temperature at 80deg cold and supply voltage at 14+, doesnt seem right? will check wiring but may send tcm for testing/repair looking into that...

Saga continues done a few miles today, drives fine, no lights, tonight used it for work when I knocked off had immediate aed and stability not available, no loss of power or effect of any kind well noticeably, turn it off and back on all good...

Do have block needs hone or rebore rods and crank As said above cheaper to buy s type, change belts and oil pump and all your discovery bits

Brake light switch turned up late yesterday managed to fit it but is a fiddly little thing This morning set my camera to watch turbo actuator as was very sluggish shouldn't have worried, power back no gongs no fault codes apart from camera, drove...

Yes mate thanks for you help and information always appreciated but still wish you were here, definitely have to replace brake light switch as first action, have removed it it's very stiff and gritty new one should then narrow down codes or...

Did find this as well for u ref the red brake light showing if is if appears, of course may not be relative but just in case as it can also sometimes keep that red light on Fingers crossed it’s just a faulty brake light switch and nothing else...

Great news mate ur making progress through the DS I wonder if they tried to disable the egr by unplugging it Maybe the dpf is blocked so they u, assume the live data will help in telling u the live readings of both sensors either side of the...

Reading up this morning on brake light switch seems it can cause a multitude of issues and on this model is also part of speed limitation so ordered one different to D3 keeping fingers crossed but brake lights are permanently on so hopefully...

Changed fluid today see color not light green lifeguard got about 3L out and in used 300ml syringe Reset to factory default, took force spin is better smoother but codes pinged back hdc abs etc Thinking at this point it Lan based issue rather...

Back on D3 motor Sunday fitted new belts, removed loom, and egrs ready for switch over Starting on switch over at weekend probably Yesterday haldex came fitted and refilled oil and changed oil too, recalibrated and bled system with diagnostic...

terrafirma discs, toyed with brembos but unsure of transmission costs, but will most likely use them on my sdv6, have standard size brembos and ebc pads on my 2.7

i fitted these discs all round on my sdv6. awsome bit noisey though. going with yellow suff next and brembo 4 pot calipers apparently quieter ???

Put sport on stands today and removed the haldex was about 50% clogged sludge no chunks put a multi meter on ohms should be 5-8 ohms I believe this one reads 11.8 so I'm thinking at this point pump is long gone, so ordered oem today Looked at...

Interesting journey to work and back drove starts and drives fine, for about two miles the you can feel a strange resistance from the wheels accompanied by hdc not available and aed not available I think didn't have glasses then two wheel drive...

Plus 1 what’s already been said May I plse also add that seeing u replaced the front lower arms to ensure a full 4 x wheel alignment has been done , ur steering wheel angle sensor checked to ensure it’s correct Then ensure the MAP sensor is...

My mate found out after driving his sport about 100 miles and noticed the hot smell of brakes. It cost him a fortune to sort out, I'm sure you will sort it for a lot less 👍

Doing a sterling job as always mate , I’ll check those codes for u in some of the many bookmarks I’ve collated over the years Enclosed some pics of the brake I got , very pleased with them , along with of course changing all the brake fluid with...

As a side note a few pics I found about specs , wheels , dimensions etc which I hope is useful to u

Apologises if you’ve already seen this but looks like the canbus 60 ohms test is required to check the high and low canbus circuit

Finally managed to find the actual name of the gearbox ZF 9HP48 9-speed automatic transmission, seems the oil and filter change as per usual are different from JLR

In the first years of production, owners often complained about inappropriate shifting and even an involuntary transition to neutral. But subsequent firmwares fixed this. With rare oil changes, the valve body solenoids quickly become clogged with...
