I suspected as much, would have been nice of Bearmach to make the software available to everybody since those devices aren't cheap and the software is already on the devices just needs unlocking by code! oh well:rolleyes:

I have a bad feeling that all support for the hawkeyes went down the ****ter with bearmach :( Still there might be a market for hawkeye trading? o_O

I'm in possession of a Hawkeye diagnostic tool with tdci software installed, i'm helping a friend fix his td5 disco and the aid diagnostic tool would be extremely useful. Is it still possible to purchase hawkeye codes in 2023? or did that all go down with bearmach:(? Cheers.

Well, driving home in the heavy snow and one of my wipers stopped wiping :mad: got home and took the top dash off revealed this to be the problem. Thankfully a pushrod is a similar enough diameter to push in with a weld on the back for good luck. The engine is a 200tdi so I think it will...

Drained a gearbox today and this mixture came out. Looks to me like 90% water 5% oil and 5% metal fragments, not sure but I think the water is added for cooling reasons.What oil to water ratio do you guys use in your gearbox as i'm worried this mixture is a bit water heavy and I couldn't find...

I've not even started on the project yet, just trying to get a plan in my head for what i'm doing to the thing.:p

This is true, most insurers seem to frown upon DIY mechanics messing around with the braking system, strangely enough I cant think why? Anyway I was just thinking of the easier option, might well work out cheaper to fix the system.

Thanks for clearing that up. Yeh so It's not an issue as long as the whole system is removed and replaced with a safe alternative. :)

shouldn't think he'd mind if I just remove all trace of it and put in a brake bias valve, can't imagine it will be a MOT failure as long as the brakes are in good order and don't leak fluid.

Ah I thought I felt the abs working on the short run up the driveway, maybe that was just the wheel bearings shaking ;) I reckon it'll be easiest removing abs system only good for lighting up the dash anyway.

Why on earth would ABS need an ecu and also presumably it isn't necessary for it to function?

Supposedly the steel on the RRC chassis was different from the def/disco ones and had better corrosion resistance? the bodys on the other hand:rolleyes:...

I couldn't say for sure, it's entirley possible it was air suspension out of the factory. The vehicle has had a replacement chassis and who knows what else dione to it in the past.

Coil sprung :confused:
