replacement srs module arrived so I put the car back together. The srs light is still on but I think that's to be expected. I need to take it to the mechanic & see if the code can be cleared now. Ofcourse there's now another fault - the tailgate window wont go up. it tries but then it just...

winner! winner! chicken dinner! disconnecting the srs module shorts the airbag and pretensioner looms to ground inside the connector - who knew? Every day is a learning day. So removal and inspection of the loom showed no faults & reconnecting the srs module made all the shorts go away - it's...

the battery is out, the loom is disconnected at the fusebox end and all the plugs are disconnected too so there really shouldn't be any path to ground - but I aint no elec-chicken. The only way for me to be sure about what's happening is to get the loom out and inspect it for faults. But thanks...

How would you tell? there wasn't a bang - nothing moved. Also, there's a dead short between the +ve supply to the srs plug (green wire) and ground - that definitely should be the case. So today is loom extraction and repair day with a short intermission to watch Hamilton sulk when he fails to...

took out the centre console, steering wheel, entire dash/facia, heater box and finally the srs module then probed the loom - but what I mostly did to my Freelander today was verbally abuse it - A LOT. SMFH Cheers Simon

Poll results are in - it's official: I am stupid. I was probing the pretensioner on the passenger side and that was always going to show continuity:oops: At least the meter didn't push enough current to pop the pretensioner. probing the loom side showed continuity on the signal lead and no...

So, I'm running continuity checks now. OBD port to SRS plug checked out fine, driver airbag to SRS plug checked out fine - then the drivers side pretensioner leads (disconnected from pretensioner) and there's a dead short. This seemed completely wrong to me so I checked the leads on the...

you're a star mate - thank you :) Cheers Simon

Anyone give me info on the CAN bus - wire colours, connector locations etc? Yes Nodge, I am looking at you (sorry us teachers can't help dipping into the bag o' cliches when we're in an elevated cortisol state) ;) Cheers SImon

Heater box is out - there is an extra bolt right at the back holding it to the firewall that isn't mentioned in the dreaded Haynes :mad: - just in case you're thinking of playing this game yourself. And the srs module is also out - the part code is actually YWC000610 contrary to what the landy...

the facia's out but I ran out of light so the heater box will have to wait till tomorrow - it's a funny feeling seeing it all stripped down and naked - a bit like seeing your mrs in the delivery room if you know what I mean. I don't think I'll feel the same about it ever again. On the upside, I...

thanks for the link - lost my copy of the RAVE manual when my last laptop died. anyway, I'm nowhere near pulling the heater yet - I somehow managed to miss the single sentence in Haynes that casually mentions I need to remove the facia, and that section points you to pulling the steering wheel...

well, I'm into the guts of her now - centre console is out. That was surprisingly easy. Next is the heater box and all I have to hand is the dreaded Haynes manual to guide me - no need to waste words saying how helpful that is o_O (you know, the "F" in Haynes manual:mad::mad:). Just keep...

it wasn't cheapie scanners - its those ones that look like a laptop embedded in an F1 steering wheel kinda thing - proper big-boy scanner with all the proprietory software. Sadly I didn't think to ask what it was called but I do recall him telling me how much it cost last year and it was in the...

so the SRS light lit up - tried all that unplugging and replugging stuff & that didn't work. took to a place out the back of stevenage called Benington 4x4 what specialises in landys. He put 3 diffierent scanners on it and none of em could see the srs box :( So his best guess is that the srs...

yep - having welded in bracing on the bracket the hydraulics lasted about 65 miles. All I did was move the problem to the next weak link. This time the slave piston seal blew about a mile from home & I managed to nurse it home some how. So your diagnosis of binding release lever seems bang...

today I fixed the hydraulics for the clutch. Bracket for the slave failed last year and took the slave out with it. Welded up the bracket and replaced the non-serviceable master & slave. Worked fine for ages then the welds failed in the cold weather and gear selection got troublesome. Rewelding...

To the tune of Thin Lizzy's "Still in love with you" Think I'll just fall to pieces, If I can't find something else to do. This sadness never ceases. My head gasket just blew :( ferkin K-series Cheers Simon

nothing - a year and a half ago I bought a 2002 freelander with 1.8 K-series engine, stuck a new head on it & filled it with all the oil & coolant - drive line went a bit wonky when an engine mount bolt fell out but new bolt sorted it out - but really I do nothing. It uses no coolant or oil at...

First, whoever is responsible for how the GUI on this forum works - you are doing beyond a top job - it is excellent+++ to the respondents TBH feeling smug is not something I really have a problem with ;) More than 1 DMM knocking around - just trying to gather intelligence before getting...
