  17. Firstly my thanks as always , secondly the earth fault i was told that that is all they could see on the computer , the xyz switch was changed but i have no idea if it was clibrated this i have no idea , but another strange fault is i took the car in with 59,000 on the clock and in one week i've noticed now it 105.000 ????? why on earth would that have happened? my deapest apreciation of all the help you always give "thank you"
  18. has not set their status

  19. Ok here goes after oil leaks power steering problems leaks and generally fed with my wonderful Discovery 03 gs auto, I have had the XYZ switch changed pressure regulator etc and thought i had solved all the problems total in 12mths £26900. So here's the problem for no apparant reason it losers power the "S" doesnt work and it's sluggish until i reset it by turning off the engine and start up again, I've had on Landrover computer they can see an earth but nothing else thats why ive had so much work done, i sometimes here a "thunk" and then it defaults although not as bad as it did when the "S" and "D" came on this time nothing like that I know your going to say "gearbox" but i had that done Jan this Sept this year and that hasnt cured it! Landrover just replace and charge without curing the fault it's driving me crazy................. i think it's an electrical fault which doesnt show even in the garage with the fault there, i'm at a loss totally So lads and of course lasses please some guidance
  20. Dont know really but you'll have to explain as i'm thick no sorry not sure really but have been told since they regased and they by pass the ecu it works..................but having "Landrover to look they just wanted to replace everything "TO MAKE SURE" at a cost of £600 + so any help would be appreciated..by the way thanks
  21. I've started hating my Discovery and i'll tell you why.........................total bills since Christmas £1600.................yep i guess my very old mk11 discovery on a 03 plate is now a classic old car { sarcasum }now i've had the car re-gassed and guess what.....................yep it doesnt work by pass the ecu and it works, So i took it to my local garage who then took it to the local Land Rover dealer who have now said "Needs a new heater matrix pump hose and the internal unit" total =£675 +vat + fitting now the heater works fine it gets warm it blows coooool air not cold but it works do you think they are trying it on So now you've heard the full story you lads have really helped...................this time i'm desperate i need a recomendation for a very good air con exspert in Yorkshire near Huddersfield help my dear friends before i go nuts and the car falls off a cliff HELP !!!!
  22. Thank you so much so it's a trip to my local land rover centre .........................once again my thanks
  23. Would it help if i had the codes ? where i had the air con done they said if they by passed the ECU then the air con worked fine with the loom maybe damaged is it a amature job or would it need a very good auto electrician, i've had it tested when i had the "S" and "M" flashing and they said that an earth was upon the loom........................i'm lost now and the garages i take it to give me nice big bills but no answers,your help is much apreciated and cannot thank you enough for any assistance
  24. Once again i'm after your help lads Tried to get my air con done which is now charged but guess what The ECU is playing up , so where can i get one that will not cost the price of a new car reconditioned or new you lads know everything well i hope you do i think landrover quoted £700 at least plus vat now that wouldnt be to bad if i hadnt spent £1600 on leaks oil changes steering colum etc so i'm trying to save just a little before i go bankrupt so lads any ideas its a 03 gs auto not sure which one it could be but i'm having trouble with the "S" an "M" but it's not the gearbox, have been told if i by pass the ecu the air con works
  25. Help Help help my landrover disco auto 03 has now gone stupid when towing all power goes 3500 revs no kick down and struggels why??? but without caravan it seems fine, i had the "M" and "S" flash but that now doesnt happen..............what the hell's going on repair bill up to £1800 cannot take much more
