I ran my scanner over the ECUs and produced a list of the fault codes which you can find here. Most can be explained away and non are related to the engine or gearbox which gives me a degree of comfort.
Regardless of the ECU based faults there are also some physical defects that I have found on the vehicle that need fixing. Some I have mentioned on a previous post :
- Rear tailgate seals – perished and leaking causing damp in the boot area – replaced.
- Infotainment system – constant re-booting / frozen. One of the control modules linked by the optical CAN Bus is not working. Caused by the damp in the boot space. Dried out and re-sealed, not all working.
- Cameras and Parking Assist not fully operating – replaced one parking assist sensor and 2 cameras [01/02/23]
- Rear passenger side window – fixed. Replacement local control module [19/02/23].
- Fuel tank level indicator – reading less than half what it should be. One of the 2 tank sensors was repaired last time. But the other was obviously also seized, hence the gauge only reading half of what it should. Other gauge now working so fuel level now looks realistic and miles to empty is much less scary.[19/02/23].
- Battery failed – only reading 11.2v. Replaced with LR branded battery and all fault codes erased since low battery voltage is known to cause numerous ghost fault codes. The table above are the codes that remain after the full reset.
- MOT advisory – rear brake pipe corrosion. Brake pipe replaced by Nick at 777 MOT [01/02/23].
- Lower near side bumper dented below the fog light. Needs heating up and popping out – repaired by Nick at 777 MOT [26/03/23].
- Rear washer not spraying – checked the pump and it is working. Checked the pipe to the rear window – all OK. Must be the nozzle/spray under the rear boot spoiler. Will need to remove the spoiler and clean it. Fixed now [26/03/23].
- Oil Leak – passenger side front – although could be dripping from anywhere. Turned out to be an hydrolic fluid leak from the power steering. Repaired by Nick at 777 MOT [26/03/23].
- Another leak and pool of fluid on my drive. This time it was the rear drivers side shock absorber that failed. Fixed by Ashley 4×4 [12/04/23].
- Slow puncture – drivers side front. Fixed by Stafford Tyre [04/05/23]
- Aircon not working – aluminium pipe corroded and needing replacement. Runs from the front to the back of the engine bay so although the replacement pipe is fairly inexpensive, the labour is not [booked in with Automotive Aircon Services [16/05/23]
