I too had strange goings on a few months back and thanks to the excellent guidance on the forum all my spurious electrical faults seem to have cleared up. My electrical gremlins started as soon as I replaced the solenoid in the starter motor. I did this as I was having problems similar to what...

Again many thanks. should have remembered the SLABS ECU as I have done both air springs and ABS fix so far with the help of you guys here on the Zone. Wonder what gem awaits me round the corner? By the way - any idea where I can get a replacement key body as the lock button has just developed...

Sierrafery - what a star!. Removed BCU and there was sign of moisture but connections appeared dry. Replaced all connectors then battery cable and did the 3 minute wait and......bingo - everything back as it should be. The BCU seemed dry but the aluminium unit next to it was cold and a little...

I have now read all I can about BCU and IDM on Rave and will have a go weather permitting. Just to clarify - disconnect battery, disconnect BCU - check - re-connect BCU then battery. I ask only because you said to re-connect the BCU after re-connecting the battery? Should I not re-connect the...

As usual - thanks Sierrafery. The car is dry inside so it will be a great coincidence if this is this problem - that said - I am pretty well convinced there is a little guy hiding round the corner with some D2 death ray he keeps pointing at my car! I have a copy of Rave and am not great at...

Sorry for the delay in getting back. I have checked all fuses and all are ok both in engine compartment and also under steering wheel. There is a burnt fusible link FL13 but feel this has been like this for some time? There has obviously been work done to the electrics before I owned the car...

I had the exact problem 3 weeks ago. Red scary light on dash indicating big problem with ACE system. I stopped very quickly and found the reason why my rear window was covered in crap - the ACE reservoir was empty!. Rear pipe had failed so it was either a tow home or see how far I could limp -...

Thanks again Sierrafery. Will get on to this tomorrow and report back.

Many thanks for your help so far. Due to lack of time today all I have managed to do is check that the fuel flap opens - it does and the hazard lights - they don't! New batteries for keys tomorrow but in the meantime I will study the key setup operation kindly provided.

Thanks Sierrafery. I haven't got a spare battery at the moment but have just been out and started the car (first time - ok). The interior lock/unlock switch doesn't do anything (it did the other day). When I press the remote lock on key fob the indicators all do what they are supposed to do...

Have checked threads and can't find a match - so here goes. 1999 Discovery Td5 - Yesterday I removed starter motor and replaced contacts in starter solenoid. This went relatively well apart from trying to replace the top nut on the motor which is still in the kitchen! When I re-connected...

I will try anything but I too had this problem and was told shuttle valve fault. Usual quotes etc so decided to do the shuttle valve fix. I bought a new one first and all was fine for a few weeks but then 3 amigos came back every now and then. Decided to do the mod on the original shuttle valve...

Thanks for the leads. Will investigate and get back.

I've noticed that if I take my foot off the accelerator and then accelerate again I get a rather sloppy clunk. I usually drive quite sedately but am wondering if there is too much play somewhere down below? Otherwise car drives fine and even this isn't a problem but it doesn't seem right. Don't...

Sorry for the late response. Did the shuttle valve mod yesterday and so far - no Mexicans in sight. Many thanks for all comments - gratefully received.

I have the luxury of 2 shuttle valves to play with - a new one currently fitted and the replaced one which has been prepared for the re-routing of the earth wiring as per the excellent article we all know. Do I take it you are suggesting the two earth connectors in the base of the modulator may...

Just the info I was after. Thanks for the speedy response. By the way - I have seen this info somewhere before but when you want it - can never find it! Is it in the RAVE download somewhere? By the way - due to inclement weather I put everything back to try another day. Typical - driving in the...

Just about to do the shuttle valve mod and am stuck as I am not totally convinced which wire I am going to cut on the loom. Due to age it isn't clear which is the YG wire. Can someone tell me which PIN on the plug the earth wire goes to so I am sure. There seems to be another wire that looks...

Thanks Wiltshire Landyman. It appears that the screen may have been coated a while ago with something such as featured in your link. I work on ships and we have in the past used chemicals on the bridge windows - which are great for keeping the screens clear - until you use the windscreen...

Thanks for response. Have tried vinegar - forgot to mention that. New wipers may help - next on the list - but from memory - they only work on the outside! Puzzled by the clear patch on the inside when all the rest of the screen is covered in condensation?
