Looking at the power and ground distribution diagrams it seems F23 blowing would indicate a short circuit in the Airbag Diagnostic Control Module or the wiring as you suggest. ETM pages Y1/3, Y2/10 and Y5/6 refer. Is it OK to check this circuit with a multimeter, either with or without the...

Well it's been 2 years and I still haven't fixed the fault, so I thought I'd take another look at why the red SRS light is on and the "Airbag Fault" message appears. I was poking around the fuse box because the A/C has crapped out again (clutch has zero volts :mad:) and I noticed that fuse...

Well my Sync-Mate finally arrived and did the trick. No doubt there will be "told you so" coming at me from multiple directions and with varying phraseology, but I guess that goes with the territory. So thank you to those who did try to help me - I now know a bit more about these beasts than...

OK Rick, we've both said our bit, vented our spleens - whatever. Now that you've set yourself up as the expert, I'd like to push my luck by seeking your input one more time while I wait for a Sync-Mate. I just hope I don't join the band of people I've discovered who bought a Sync-Mate only to...

I have looked at them but, unfortunately, they are £500 even with the nano server. My LR man is only 10 minutes drive :rolleyes: away and he normally fixes things with his box of tricks. However, on this occasion, he is stumped. I already have the EAS unlock software and cable from RSW and...

And that was helpful - er - how exactly ... :confused: I am calm - maybe you should get real :rolleyes: :focus: GRC

Wow – a flame! Haven’t had one of those for years! Well Rick – here’s the scoop. This forum is indeed, a great source of “experience and expertise”, but it’s not the only one as you know. And – guess what – opinions differ from each of...

Hi OB - original A-Bar came with the car but I had to replace it when I had an argument with a Mercedes (I won - you should see the mess the A-Bar made on the Merc). I got the replacement through eBay - just saved a search and got automatic notification when one came up. I also fitted the LR...

Update So I've now replaced the RF receiver, fuse box and the two front door latches and the locking works exactly as it should all round. But the old girl still won't start. The ignition relay RL16 energises but there's no current getting to the starter solenoid as far as I can see...

The car is a standard UK-spec RHD. My problem is finding specialists over here - not so many V8 P38s in this little debt-ridden bankrupt country. The guy who usually looks after my car (independent now but Land Rover trained at a main dealer) has invested in a testbook (or equivalent - not sure)...

Thanks for that IR - I had a quick look at Island 4x4 but didn't see the earlier model latches. Slotting an extra couple of neurons back in and doing a general search under "Body" revealed all - excellent news. Glass or three of red waiting for you if you're ever in these 'ere parts -...

Well this has got to be the worst job I've ever tried on the old girl - removal of door latches - what a bu**er :eek:. Finally got the driver's one out and did some tests (here) which seemed to be OK but the clockwise EKA code is still not being accepted (tried with latch outside by directly...

Hi everyone, and thanks for the continued support. It's not fixed yet but I believe I now know why it happened (see here). In an attempt to be a bit greener I recently installed a wireless electricity monitoring meter. The wireless transmitter sends the readings every 60 seconds on - you...

Friday update, Well I pulled the RF receiver completely and looked at the internals (it's the original part), connected an ammeter and waited for the BECM to go to sleep - which it did, and snoozed at 0.06 amps for some time - no wake-up call. When on it's about 1.16 amps drawn. Then...

Thanks for the reply. Battery is 14.87 volts so no apparent problems there. Lights, horn etc. work OK. Can't see any problems with earth points but they're not all easily visible. Do you suggest replacing the RF receiver? They're not cheap. Can the existing one be tested easily? It's still...

My turn now ... Well I’ve had a dead car on the drive for a couple of weeks now; have done most things suggested, without success. The story so far:- First sign something was wrong was all indicators permanently on one night – car was unlocked and no siren. Remote locked the car and...

Thanks 8. Would I be right in thinking I don't have post-cat sensors? That would narrow possible replacements to something like this one. If you have a better solution please let me know. I can't believe an aftermarket replacement won't last at least another 3 years or so, at which point the...

Whoah - good to see so many folks online on a chilly Monday afternoon! From my MOT/IPO "fail" certificate it says (translated from Portuguese):- Motor accelerated 2000rpm; lambda value of less than 0.97 Idling: CO content exceeding 0.5% vol Motor accelerated 2000rpm; CO content above...

Hi all, Been searching but still confused (easily done at my age) Just failed Portuguese MOT on emissions - apparently at least one of my catalytic converters is cream-crackered according to my mechanic. Local cat prices are ridiculous so have to order online and get it delivered over...
