    Third gear, slight hill, reach 3000 rpm then guage reads1.5 bar.to 1.6 bar.

    I presume it's not a D2 then cos it should have gone to overboost at 1.42... if your's is an untuned 300tdi that 1.5 -1.6 bar is OK. 

  2. The simple solution is to replace the instrument pack with a known good one(preferably with lower mileage as it can be synk'd only upwards). Before that some troubleshooting would be good cos there is a slight chance to be a problem with the alternator or a wiring issue. Unplug the small connector from it and give earth to the brown/yellow wire(carefully to not touch the other pin)... if the warning comes on that way there's the problem

    Mainly concerned with battery warning light which suddenly doesn't come on when ignition turn on.

    The instrument pack illumination bulbs shown in parts catalogues have nothing to do with warning lights which are smd LEDs soldered into the PCB and not listed as spares. If the "battery" warning light doesnt come on with ignition the problem is within the instrument pack .

  4. If the pump got empty it's compuslory to purge it with outlet undone untill you get good flow then after it was started you must see serious activity in the tank, that's important or the pump will fail, as about bleeding the system there is a procedure with diagnistic tool but it's not so important as the air will leave the system after the ACE kicks in few times, the ''figure 8" driving is a good trick if you can do it fast

  5. That's what "colour codes" are meaning, each letter is a colour code and when two codes are together(or 3 if one is ''light") the first is the main colour and the second is the trace, the list is shown in all LR electrical troubleshooting manuals/ electrical libraries and the codes are on all the diagrams

    a diagram from a forum of the immobiliser/alarm wiring from the workshop manual, but there is no colour code so that makes it a bit of a pain.

    Just as a matter of fact, there are colour codes on that diagram 😉

  7. You can't just do an invasive "immo off" on a D2 cos not only the ECM is involved, it's different than Defenders...there are some bodge methods which will not fix all the issues. If the vehicle os immobilised you have to remobilise it with EKA code then disable the immobiliser with dedicated diagnostic tool, that's the only ''clean" way to do it

  8. What you describe seems more like overboost not MAF related  especially if with it unplugged made no difference.. check the pipework connected to the wastegate modulator and if nothing obvious remove fuse F2 engine bay and make a drive test then... if the symptom goes away replace the wastegate modulator, if no change use a pump on the wastegate valve to see if it works or not also make sure it's not stuck

  9. The viscous fan is freewheeling untill the radiant heat of radiator heats up it's bimetalic coil to 72*C then it starts to lock progressively so it's definitely not supposed to be noisy on cold start regardless of outside temp

  10. Hi. Disregard the alternator. On the D2 the tachometer is managed by the ECM based on CPS input. Plug in a dedicated tester and if it shows the rpm the problem is on the signal path to the IP or the gauge
