    Shuttle Valve Switch 11-05 from NanoCom

    Spliced the wires in and I didn't measure the resistance :( Took a chance of course. I find it strange the error code is just the same and it keeps on coming with 011 times. Presuming its significant but what does it all mean....if anything. Thanks for the help.

    Shuttle Valve Switch 11-05 from NanoCom

    My 2000 TD5 auto Disco 2. A strange one, who would've thought it. My ABS light came on and the Nanocom told me it was the shuttle valve electrical fail. So I did the wiring mod and now I get the message ´11-05 shuttle valve electrical fail 011 times´. No matter how many times I clear the...

    Handbrake Light Off when On nd On when Off

    Well well, who feels a right Charlie. After NanoComming etc etc the light was still operating the opposite way which it should. I decided to see if I had plugged in the wire the wrong way. So off with the center console etc and after quite some time playing with the switch and connector I found...

    Handbrake Light Off when On nd On when Off

    Hello again, Lots of threads about the Handbrake Light but none for my problem that I can find. I had the center console apart to troubleshoot a Gearbox Problem (2000 TD5 Automatic) and had to unplug the handbrake switch. When I put it back back together I forgot about plugging back in the...

    TD5 Autobox not going into First Gear

    Well finally got her up on the ramp this afternoon and inspected the wiring harness again, everything looked good there. Took off the XYZ switch, a little tight but doable thank goodness. The switch looked brand new on the outside and after drilling out the rivets the same could be said of the...

    TD5 Autobox not going into First Gear

    I hope not but you could well be right. At the moment it seems to get the P0705 communiction error when cycling the gear lever through Reverse so I think I'll take off the XYZ swith and see what the condition is like...... At least there haven't been any more short circuit error codes.

    TD5 Autobox not going into First Gear

    Hello there, the chaffing was at the P clip. Nothing seen from the outside but once I stripped the silver insulating material away the two affected wires were easily seen.

    Inspected the harness today. Had to do it still connected to the autobox as couldn't get the two multiplugs on the left side apart...!!! Disconnect from the Transfer Case there was enough slack to inspect the area where chaffing of the harness could be seen. Right enough two wires were seen to...

    TD5 Autobox not going into First Gear

    Well a good result but by mysterious ways...!!! I took out the center console then unplugged the autobox harness before pulling, poking and prodding the harness's rubber grommet to loosen it from the body. When it was loose I connected the multiplugs to drive to where I can use a lift to access...

    TD5 Autobox not going into First Gear

    Now I'm getting P0705 and P0748. I wonder if I'm back to considering the WXYZ switch. It's very strange indeed. I've had the car for 6 years now and the gearbox has had an oil and filter change but worked very well. No idea why or when the BCU could have been set to a manual petrol.....that's a...

    TD5 Autobox not going into First Gear

    Now it's even more interesting...!!! I checked the BCU and it was set to Petrol/Manual instead of Diesel/Auto..!!! When did that happen...ha ha ha. So after changing that I now have flashing 'S and M' lights, the gearbox will go into Reverse and Drive. I can physically put it in 3,2,1 but the...

    TD5 Autobox not going into First Gear

    I've just noticed that the waning lights for 'S and M' Mode don't come on when the ignition is turned on. I've check the fuse F12 under the bonnet and the Fuse in the cabin and both are OK and both have power. My previous info was incorrect as I now know the autobox is not locking into 4th...

    TD5 Autobox not going into First Gear

    An addendum after moving on. I never thought about checking the lights on the Gear Selector, thanks, so I did. With my Nanocom I can see that as each light illuminates when changing gears then the XYZ settings also change. So it looks like the XYZ switch is working as expected. However the...

    That’s great gents, thank you very much for all that. I read, then read then read again and give it a shot. Hope this is all it is

    TD5 Autobox not going into First Gear

    Uh oh...!!! My future may not be as bright as I was hoping. How did you fine tune the XYZ switch, was it by adjusting the gear changing cable length ? I'll try a search for adjusting the XYZ as I haven't focused on that yet. Thanks a lot BTW, appreciated.

    TD5 Autobox not going into First Gear

    Thanks for the reply Badger. Yes the oil level and quality are fine. I haven't touched the XYZ switch yet. Everything seems to be fine except getting into First. So in D instead of starting in First I seem to start in Second and then the other gears seem to change as expected.. So I'm currently...
