Thanks Mark, I've not driven it yet so it's not over yet ;) But I hope the dreaded restricted mode stay away now and I can get back to enjoying my lovely car, had it 2 and a half years and completely trouble free until this happened, I know I've been lucky overall :)

Thanks Marjon, I'm looking about but that really is expensive and I'm only going to be checking soot levels really so I'm hoping some of the cheaper ones can do that but they don't say. Looking at the iCarsoft ones, several models but hoping that the iCarsoft EU PRO or the LR V3 have it all

Hi everyone, After my recent issues I'm looking for an ODB2 plug in that will give me live data including soot readings as well as the ability to make changes like add a new key. My current one doesn't have a lot and soot readings is now vital for me so I can keep an eye on the levels after...

Update to issue: So, took the car to my mates garage (he doesn't have the flashy DPF machine so couldn't do that), he got his expensive ODB2 reader on to it and it was showing 41g of soot !!!! Now I've just paid over £600 to have the whole thing cleaned so a bit miffed that it was showing 41g...

I decided to take it out for a drive and keep clearing the P042D codes whilst driving to try and get it to regen and clear the amber DPF full message before the garage take it in to look at it. Drove it for a while, cleared the errors apart from the amber DPF full and kep the speed correctly on...

Thanks for the above info, I'll check it out :) I was hoping my ODB2 device would give me all the info i need but it doesn't appear to have the sensor 2 temps and voltage info, I've thought about buying another one that also has the DPF soot level info but no idea which ones would have all that...

My driving normally is half hr back roads to work and back and then longer drives once or twice a week up to an hr, trouble is during covid it's been sat still and not done many long journeys ! The DPF full was the first issue, the P042D is a new issue that's only happened directly after the...

Hi all, I have a 2010 4.4 TDV8 and I had my DPF cleaned after getting the red DPF Full error come up and restricted mode. I got the DPF cleaned (fully by cutting exhaust and putting it through a DPF cleaner), when driving home it went in to restricted mode, went back to the garage and it came...

There's a hidden menu ? Please could you PM me as well, I'd love to see what I can screw up :)

Thanks Gold Rover, I'll check it out, appreciated

Hi everyone, I'm looking to have my 2nd dip into the Land Rover world !! I had a 2005 RR 4.4 V8 (BMW engine) running on LPG and lost confidence in it as had to have the gaskets done twice in 2 years, rightly or wrongly I put it all down to running on LPG to be honest as I don't think engines...

Thanks for the replies, I wasn't aware that the Jag engine wasn't good for LPG conversions so that is good to know. I'm looking at a few on eBay so watch this space ! Maybe I just bought one before with a bad engine, I'll give it another go 😊

I think the 4.4 on LPG will be cheaper on fuel than a diesel, don't the diesels do about 24mpg ? I roughly worked out last time that I'd been getting about the equivalent of 28mpg on LPG with cost of LPG against petrol

Hi everyone, I've been away from range rovers for 2 years but I miss them so want another one !! The reason I got rid of mine is I lost confidence in it as I had issues with the engine, resulting in hoses blowing off, radiator and water pump issues and ending with head gaskets being done !! I...

Thanks Fett :lalala: Fingers crossed i get another 100K before it happens again !!

Thanks Fanatic, tried what you said .... It was the head gaskets :( Anyway, been in the garage and ready to pick up today, £1300 poorer for Christmas but at least i get the car back, and having driven about in an old citroen for 3 and a half weeks i can't wait lol !!

Well, after my last post in March on this issue, i have had 2 breakdowns in the last 2 weeks !! Firstly, the top hose to the radiator came off whilst foot down overtaking miss daisy ! That was replaced and a week later a lower down hose came off, spilling all coolant. Had it at the garage who...

Thanks Gegs88, its back at the garage today to be checked out again, hopefully to be resolved ! I must admit the head gasket was just the worst case worry i have lol most people seem to have water pump issues/failures, white smoke, gunk in oil etc i dont seem to have any of those issues, just...

Hi everyone, I had a new radiator put on my 2005 RR a month ago as the old one was leaking. Within 2 weeks the new one was also leaking so it was taken out and sent back to Land Rover. I had another one from Land Rover fitted and with 2 weeks this one to was also leaking !! My RR is booked...

Hey Matt and Rob, Did you get the LPG conversion done yet ? Let us know how it goes and what differences you notice afterwards, esp at the pumps ! I got lazy the other week and couldnt be bothered to find an LPG service station so I ran on petrol for a bit, wont be doing that again in a...
