You are of course right and I kept telling myself that, but couldn't stop myself adding a dab of solder after crimping. To be fair to me I haven't done it since. 🤔😀

I started searching for the correct connectors, then realised I did not actually need them. I just removed each damaged or 'green' pin from both sides and rejoined the wire out of the connector using crimped and soldered connectors. In theory you don't need to solder but to be sure.

Most of it is self proclaiming so you can be honest and vague at the same time ? Only issue is when there is no V5, then questions can be asked. Many of the changes listed above would technically not be allowed and you will find many Series vehicles for sale that are not. My advice, make sure...

Don't know if it on all models but the parking sensor sound came from RHR door speaker.

Earthing issue perhaps ?

You do surprise me ! My 24 year old Mondeo barely uses any, never needed to top up. And my Series 2A doesn't lose any, mind you that does not have to work very hard.

I would go for an independent check, nothing should use that much coolant. Check the filler cap is correct and any hoses are tight. You can buy a dye that you put in system and any leaks show up under special light. After that a pressure check would be in order.

Yes it will have both, not entirely sure where though. Turbo is usually near top of engine close to exhaust, looks a bit circular with a cable attached and a heat shield. EGR, well could be anywhere but probably attached to the air intake. Hopefully someone who has actually seen this engine will...

Yes I've had similar misdiagnosis with ABS sensor. Told RHR, it was RHF hub. Also heard of sensors not being fully seated, the air gap is crucial to correct reading so you may have found it. 🤞

Always started diesels with accelerator and clutch to the floor when cranking. Lift off gas as soon as it catches. It turning over so mechanically ok and battery good ? Next easiest thing to check is fuel, crack off the injectors one by one to ensure fuel getting through. Work back or forwards...

Basically it worth what someone will pay. List all it's attributes and try find something similar and compare prices. Remember prices asked are not always prices achieved.

Yes a pretty rare option for UK. 3 Buttons would be along the bottom of the rear view mirror housing.

Dunno about the D4 but the D sport has a large grommet coming through from behind the passenger glove box. A piece of welding wire with cable hooked on the end can pierce here, just ensure it away from existing wires, and pushed through. The camera on rear of my D2 is bluetooth. Wire from camera...

I got EKA code for my D2 from nearest LR Dealer, no charge. So if code is 1234 start by unlocking and hold for 5 seconds til you hear beep. Release then unlock once, lock twice, unlock 3 times, lock four times. Unlock and hold it should beep twice if code is correct. D5C9 would be unlock x4...

Well I have to say I've no idea how to do it but it sounds like you doing it wrong ! Should never be that difficult. If there are no pearls of wisdom forthcoming you could try the Series 2 Forum. Later Series 2A doors are very similar.

As above but also check for water/damp around modules in passenger footwell.

Charge Light should only come on when ignition turned on, then go off as soon as you start engine. Check battery leads are tight and no more than 1" movement on longest stretch of fan belt. You should have about 14.5 volts across battery with engine running if you can check that the battery is...

When you tried them where they secured on a flat surface ? They can be very temperamental in their orientation.

Random guess would be a poor connection somewhere in the engine bay or a blocked/missing pipe.

I may have dreamt this, but is there a 'service mode' where you hold both gear shift paddles with foot on pedal to release ? 🤔 In the workshop it is possible to reverse the current direct to the park brake on each wheel using a slave battery.
