thanks datatek i had battery checked and the new alternator i took it to garage where i bought it from on tuesday all showing ok . I dont know what it is about landrovers / rangerovers loads of hassle and money but you just can't stop loving them lol

the cord may be there just there is mass of dis used wires to get through cup of tea time then gonna have look.also gonna need to replace drivers door trim panel coz clips aint holding it in place. One thing the garage did say to try first is connecting the 2 battery terminals together briefly...

right replaced missing srs light bulb in dash and tried it and its just flashing at me and saying airbag fault on display so looks at though going to have to book it in for check up also still getting traction fault message as well so may as well get that looked at as well. ££££££££££. also...

Thanks nicely put ill try that with the mrs

also just noticed a small yellow wire with green strip and a black wire going into a white connector just dangling under base of steering whell any ideas where this goes ?

did try plugging in an obdII scanner not bringing up any faults off to get bulbs and try again will report back later.

when it was in garage last time they couldn't get airbag fault message to clear ill buy some bulbs and go from there. but could be time to start admitting defeat . shame coz i love the car

had battery disconnected had to buy new fuel switch so get that friday whilst having a look around dash i took out the display and noticed i missing certain bulbs brk pad bulb missing / service bulb missing / beam bulb missing and srs1 bulb missing could this be causing some of headaches ?

fuel cap switch out and it looks as though the springs not pushing switch back out

right got to bonnet switch and had good clean up of switch popped battery on and no more bonnet open message going to pop battery on charge cause still getting traction failure message coming up as well as airbag fault. right now for the fuel button. fingers crossed.

had quick look in back all i can see is a mass of dis used wires from old speakers etc

is the cord in the same place as the rf receiver ? also to take out the fuel cap release button do i have to remove the casing around dash panel ?

thanks better get started gonna be long afternoon

well i back 2 work tmoz so will have play next wk when i back ! i take it it just screwed in place hopefully this is all it is :confused::wtf:

and to get to the bulb is easy i take it ? Just seen 110 defender for sale thinking about buying it maybe less hassle in long run !

would that then trigger it to say airbag fault on the display screen ?

right checked all connectors under seat and also fuse 33 and still on i think ill just book it in for mot and see what happens. and like i said when the garage plugged it in they couldn't get the computers talking

wiggle yellow wire and check fuse 33 right will do! and the garage i went to are a landrover garage and have relevant software but i wonder sometimes about the operator! wanna get this sorted desperate to drive it again getting bored with the pajero .

have got the srs light on dash board and airbag fault showing on display Ive had this in the garage to try and reset it but the garage are saying they cant comunicate with the car. Until i get this cleared it wont pass the MOT. Is there anyone around Cornwall / Devon with Faultmate ? so i can...
