No manual etc, everything I learnt was from this site and then a bit of common sense. If you can twirl a spanner and work stuff out it is easy, took me four hours. If I had to do it again I think that you could comfortably knock an hour off. So once again, an immense thank you to all the...

It's been a while coming, but due to work commitments and marriage break up I have not until now had time to do this. On the plus side, thanks to all on here that have offered advice. It has all been relevant and extremely accurate. I ended up getting all 9 solenoids for £50 from a...

Well here's the good bit jpat.co.uk will do the solenoid for £33 and the speed sensor for £10 + postage. Or the whole solenoid kit for £176 and throw in the service manual. Course of action I think is to do all the solenoids and then see where we are at. Apparently the speed sensor is easy but...

Just thought I would add another, the bi fold mirrors no longer bi fold, just flap around aimlessly until taped or nailed back in to place.

Update on readings. Now measured at the correct temperatures ( thanks to bukko, font of all knowledge) All readings correct except - vehicle speed sensor, no reading. Brake duty solenoid valve - no reading. Everything else absolutely spot on. Unless anybody knows different, I can feel a trip...

Thanks for the contact, have e mailed them for a price.:D:D

OK assuming that I m going to change all the solenoids, who can point me in the right direction for quality replacements at a good price. To those that have done this before, what exactly will I need by way of parts and fluids and time, I am good at twirling the spanners and will do the initial...

The high readings could be due to temperature. But the brake duty solenoid looks very wrong. It controls the pressure so it could be your culprit. From the manual: Quote:4 No pressure control will occur therefore gear changes from fifth gear will be very harsh (2-4 brake duty solenoid valve...

Solenoids now tested and the results are:- Brake duty solenoid - 1.48. Should be 2.6 to 3.2 ohms (then 0 reading) Brake timing solenoid 19.3. Should be 14 to 18ohms Reduction timing solenoid valve 19.3. Should be 14 to 18 ohms Shift solenoid valve B 19.5. Should be 14 to 18 ohms Shift solenoid...

There are no daft questions. On the subject of the ECU, I spoke to a chap who's Land Rover was stolen. It was recovered at the docks and the battery had been disconnected for weeks, something to do with the alarm I think. However when it was reconnected and charged he said it drove like a...

Sounds very much the same as mine, but it still has a little knock as it goes though 3rd 4th and 5th. If you find the fault let us all know.

Done a level check and was over by about .75 litre, What came out was brown but not smelling burnt so I did a partial change. Took out about 3 litres and replaced with fresh and checked the level. Went for a drive but symptoms still there. But after about 15 miles I stopped for a couple of...

lol I was fond of mine to until it had a hiccup!!!!!:censored:

I appreciate your opinion, but can you expand on why not? Have I committed a faux par ?

Swore at it again. checked all wiring, found out courtesy of Hippo how to check solenoids so onto that tomorrow with possibly more swearing.:confused::mad::confused::mad::confused::mad::confused:
