V8MoneyPit:
This one is ongoing.....

It's still messing around. The 'D' indicator on the dash flicks on and off. As it does this the gearbox changes down and up. This can go on for a whole journey  :evil:

Took it to our local garage. They plug in the diagnostics and nothing came back. But they couldn't read all the ECU. Took it to the local LR specialist and the damn car ran perfectly! They also couldn't find any faults logged on the ECU. That was Tuesday. Picked it up on Wednesday morning and by Wednesday night it was doing it again.... AAARGGGGHH!

Took it in this morning because it was still playing up and it has stopped doing it by the time we got there.... what is it with cars? They know, don't they?!

So the owner of the LR specialist is going to use it for his daily transport for a few days to see if he can replicate the problem.

We shall see......

A Hyundai Tucson is looking more and more attractive  :lol:

If your local specialist is the one I think it is, you can forget it!  Better order that Tucson!   :lol:

Norwich.... north side......

Only really used them for servicing. They use the LR menu and are half the price of a main dealer. Bit expensive for parts though. But I have access the trade supply, so parts are normally *much* cheaper elsewhere  :D

V8MoneyPit:
The Freebie has been with the garage since Friday and been used daily by the owner.... and it has behaved perfectly  :evil: We need it for the weekend, so I've got them to go round all the connectors and disconnect, clean and reconnect in the hope that is was a corroded or loose one somewhere  :?

Oh joy......... I absolutely guarantee it will play up the moment we get it back! Flamin' Land Rovers, well, modern ones anyway. At least an old one can be diagnosed and fixed easily.

V8MoneyPit:
Hopefully this is the final update in the saga!

Found part of the wiring harness loose and worn through under the battery box. Certainly, this would account for the blowing fuses and maybe the ECU jitters.

We pick it up tonight........  :?
