    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Went to fit new ABS accumulator but the old one won't budge! Should they "just" unscrew or need a strap wrench of some sort?

    New leads fitted - a bit of a PITA job for something that should be 'simple' but car is running lovely.

    Well the fault hasn't returned so the battery replacement must have sorted it. Cheers guys.

    Traction Failure message

    Thanks. The fault seems to have stopped now! I'll see if it returns before replacing the ECU. The later ones are a bit pricey!

    Traction Failure message

    OK a bit more info....I connected the nanocom and went for a drive. The aim was to monitor the wheel sensors to make sure they were all recording about the same. Trouble is as soon as I start to move nanocom displays "unable to perform function" and once its done this I can no longer establish...

    Traction Failure message

    Hi Folks, I have recently been getting a Traction Failure message on the message centre. It comes with the ignition on even before starting the car. I did do some searches and noticed about low volts could cause this so I've changed the battery to an Alphline 1000cca as recommended here but...

    Strange issue with HEVAC temperature control

    Sounds like the problem I had. It turned out to be the sensor by the clock. The fan has failed so I think the temp on the sensor increased behind the dash and so the cold air would blow! I changed for a second hand unit and all is now well! You could try shining a torch through and see if...

    Nanocom won't boot when connected to car

    Hi all I have been diagnosing a Missfire so connecting the nanocom on and off for a bit. Finally got the missfire sorted but on the last attempt to check all the live data when I connected the nanocome to the socket it stays "dead". If I connect the nanocom to the PC via USB it works. Any...

    Started missing

    OK some good news! It looks like the lead to cylinder 6 is knackered! I went to connect it to the spare plug to look for spark and the internals of the cap stayed on the plug in the engine!. I managed to get the lead back together temporary and the missfire has gone. New leads on order...
