Now I'm wondering if I need to disconnect the stop start Battery as well. I suppose it wouldn't hurt. My mate has a Jag XF with the same engine as mine and to disconnect his battery the procedure is to open the door and the boot lid, hide the remotes indoors somewhere then wait 35 mins till it...

Thanks Datatek. As you say, that seems to be the place to start. Unfortunately there's not room to slide a fag paper under there so I'll take the bolts out and tilt the seat back, if it ever stops raining. Suppose I'd better hire a crane to remove the spare wheel and disconnect the battery if...

Oh well, 2 months of ownership without an issue is good for a Range Rover in my experience. Anyway the airbag light came on today, I plugged my shiny new iCarsoft lr v3.0 in and it came up with B0028 13 Right side Air bag deployment circuit. A Google search seems to suggest that it might be a...

Looking for a tow bar for the L405 and wonder if the Italian ones advertised on Ebay are any good. Has anyone had any dealings with Them? Thanks

Just as an update, I got the leather code from the main dealer parts department. Just quoted the reg number and he came back with Cirus gray. I got a bottle of leather dye from Scratch Doctor and found that it did an excellent job. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

My 2015 L405 has light gray seats which are starting to show their age a bit, mostly just light scuffing. Just wondering if anyone has tried any of the leather repair kits and also if anyone knows where I can find the interior code. It isn't on the B post with all the other stuff. Thanks Pete

It's the same number on the LR packet in the picture but a different one in the write up? I'm at the dealers next week for a recall so I'll ask them and no doubt end up more confused than ever.

I didn't get a misfuel reset tool with my L405 and looking at them on ebay etc the price seems to vary from about £4 to about £40. They all look the same but some seem to be specifically for the 405 while others are for Sports etc even though they have the same part number. Does anyone know if...

Thanks for the replies. I've read about people blanking off egrs and in fact I did it on my old X Type but that didn't have a DPF.

Just wondering if the engine in my 2015 L405 3 Litre is a TDV6 or SDV6. I know that both engines are more or less the same but wonder how to tell them apart. Might a clue be in the engine or VIN number? Also is it worth considering an EGR blank / disable, is it even possible on this engine? Many...

Still new fangled with my newest rangie ever a 2015 3 litre L405. Of course I couldn't resist getting it up on the ramps and having a good old crawl around underneath and a poke at the rusty fuel tank shield revealed quite a lot of rot. Has anyone changed or repaired one? Looks like a...

I lost count of how many times I replaced mine with cheap leakoff pipe. After a while starting would take longer and a smell of diesel would come from under the bonnet. Changed the pipe for genuine BMW and touch wood no leaks for a few years now.

Should look like this but ignore the heights they were all over the place

Hi Sunny It took me a while to get the software to work but the problem was com ports. After much frustration and help from this forum I discovered that Com port 4 is the one to use. also apparently drivers can cause problems if the right one isn't installed. Mine works every time on Windows 10...

Did the same as Datatek and ran around for about a fortnight including a 250 mile journey home on them. The valve cores I used were 6mm after stripping off the rubber so I used a 6mm compression fitting and a push on connector to connect to the pipes that run from the air bags to the valve...

Just wondering if anyone ever got to the bottom of this one. I haven't even got an L322 but wonder what the problem was:rolleyes:. Sad, I know. No doubt this isn't the fix but once on my ancient Wolseley 4/44 then again more recently on my Triumph Bonneville I had exactly the same issue and it...

Been doing this sort of thing for so long and I wonder what is the most effective way to stop the rot from coming back, or better still coming in the first place. Years ago Waxoil was said to be the way to go and I pumped loads of the stuff into a cavity (new inner and outer sills) of my Austin...

New bracket and guard for the OSF arrived yesterday, about £45 total including postage. I used them as a pattern to fabricate the same for the NSF which is much easier to get to. The brackets are the same but the cover/ guard is the handed. Didn't have a bean can handy so I made the cover out of...
