No, I'd say one of your air bags is leaking. Get it sorted before you get another fault on the system and kill another compressor! Once pumped up, it should not have to do anything. Have a good listen under each of the four corners once you've turned the engine off - tho be aware that they...

He definitely had the kit for checking the **EAS** ECU? It is different to the standard ECU diagnostics kit which just read general info and will give no info on EAS faults. Most general garages don't have the kit to read info from the EAS. Was it a LR specialist, or just a general garage...

The air suspension will refuse to do anything once it has gone into "hard" fault (i..e MAX SPEED 35 MPH warning). You have absolutely no choice but to get it into a garage and get them to put it on Testbook to rest the EAS ECU. Most likely fault is a leaking air bag causing the compressor to...

:confused: :confused: :confused: I think you've missed the point completely - when you are sat still you are doing 0, Zero, none, nothing, not any MPG (MILES per gallon). When you are moving, no matter how fast, how hard you drive you are doing at least some MPG. Am I going mad people, is it...

Of course it all depends on when your trip was reset. If you only did 8 miles since it was reset then the average will change very quickly. If you have done 5000 miles since the last reset you will hardly notice it moving. Reset the trip computer before each trip and you will have a good idea...

Sorry - am I missing something here??? Do you expect that the MPG would improve whilst you are sitting at idle not going anywhere???? Poor economy could be a few things, but I'd be checking out the injector on Cyl 4. as it has a sensor on it. If that one goes bad then the ECU won't be sending...

I agree, my temp gauge was always on the low side. The only time it got hot was on a very long very steep hill in the middle of a hot French summer. Other than that it ran pretty cold. (older) Diesels do run a lot colder than petrols - the fans weren't running on my diesel Espace and I...

You need to get it into a GOOD local LR specialist (NOT a main dealer!) with Testbook who can run it up in live mode and see what is going on. Even if you fix the fault yourself, the system will still need to be reset using Testbook, so you might as well get them to do the diagnosis and fix at...

I've looked into the Green Lanes situation in France quite a bit. As far as I can tell, the law is pretty simple. As long as a normal car sized vehicle can drive down it without causing damage (i.e. rutting the sides, ripping out plants/hedges etc.) then you can legally drive down them. In...

I agree, sounds like a turbo problem to me - especially if you can hear a blowing sort of noise. Had something similar on a BMW - the pipe on the intercooler was loose and blowing. Matt

A typical scenario I'm afraid. The BECM has probably lost synch with the immobiliser/alarm system. You'll most likely need to get it sorted by someone with Rovacom/Testbook who knows what they are dong. When changing the battery you need to keep the BECM powered - best way seems to be by...

Glad you got it going - I'd certainly agree that a knackered battery was to blame - causes all sorts of weird problems. The cold always picks out knackered batteries. Look into battery problems on this forum before you change the battery - some people use those jump start things connected to...

This page might be of some use..a few possible explanations here. I'd check with your dealer if they have looked into these on your vehicle. Shouldn't matter that the vehicle is only used for short trips, 10 mins should be more than enough to charge the battery to compensate for a start...

I prefer this one... YouTube - Land Rover Crash

Yes it should - I'm sure we've had a thread on here about changing the bulb in the clock. Do a search. Can't remember if you have to remove the dash, or if you can just pop the clock out. Matt

Yes, there are lots of extra bits here and there in various locations - you will need to change the whole system over including the amps (and probably the wiring loom as well). I wouldn't bother to be honest for two reasons - 1, The stupid amount of time it will take you and 2, Once you've done...

It works using a vacuum controlled system - if there are any splits in the vacuum hoses then it won't function - that'd be the first thing I'd check - anything after that gets technical, so eliminate the simple things first. Matt

YD - yeah, dodgy electrics are my speciality! Helen's Pug. has some great ones, including drivers side leccy window that operates the wrong way around (i.e. press up and it goes down!) heater fan switch that has a complete mind of its own, random alarm/cl problems, weird lights occasionally...

I'm not sure if you are having a laugh or not, especially as you used the word economical in the same sentence as 4.6! (even an LPG one!) £3k for one with porous block symptoms?? I could buy a half decent 4.6 for that sort of money with a good engine! Matt

Busy busy is how things are going! Seem to be busier here than when I was in the UK! Mind you it's a more relaxing kind of busy here - you know, getting up cutting a tree down, messing in the garden and maybe a bit of work thrown in! I'm trying to persuade SWMBO that we need a Td5 Disco! I...
