Cruise works intermittently
maybe no codes If codes even exist for what is I suppose perceived to be a yaw concern, I do not know if codes would even be generated. The system may just think there is no fault - the computers are just doing what they are supposed to be doing. When all is perfect, if the anti skid system... -
Cruise works intermittently
Wheel alignment? Rather than the tyres, I am wondering if you perhaps have a wheel alignment concern? By wheel, I am referring to the steering wheel rather than the four round things surrounded by the MT's. If the steering wheel is not sitting at near 12 o'clock, then after some distance... -
Cruise works intermittently
yes, East Penn Manufacturing in PA. I expect it was I who mentioned the Made in USA Deka branded battery. Deka is one of the marketing brand names of the East Penn Manufacturing Company located at Leon Station in Pennsylvania. http://www.eastpennmanufacturing.com/applications/automotive/... -
Cruise works intermittently
Better battery? I would say that I am an Interstate fan, at least for the 3 as I do not know what would be more suitable. It is not so much as there are not better made batteries out there, it is just that I think keeping to the CaCa style of battery construction matters with regards to the... -
Cruise works intermittently
button pushing may have worked It is too early to say given the intermittent nature of my "Cruise not Available" concern, but since I spent a bit of time a couple of weeks back, rapidly rocking/pushing both the cruise buttons, I have not again seen the problem - well perhaps it will show... -
Nav and Radio Question
Message centre may display cooling system concerns. I have a Scan Gage II connected to my OBD port, in part my solution to knowing what the coolant temperature is. The temperature numbers displayed seem to come right from the coolant temperature sensor as the numbers change with weather /... -
Nav and Radio Question
engine temperature indicator As best I can determine, beside the fuel gauge, the other round gauge with the needle, that for the mostly sits horizontally, is effectively an engine temperature indicator rather than a coolant gauge. My understanding of the operation of the indicator is that it... -
Cruise works intermittently
my order of the possible fixes With my 3 since it is rarely clear what the solution to any problem us, usually I try the cheapest fix first. In this case, that being repeated pressing of the cruise buttons for a couple of weeks; then the brake light switch if it has not been recently... -
Cruise works intermittently
coincidence - perhaps but doubt it That is a good question, but I do think in my case a few years back, the deteriorated condition of the brake light switch had something to do with the problem, and replacement was effectively the fix. It is a bit more complicated however, in that I also... -
Cruise works intermittently
so perhaps the switches I am not certain just what 3 Htz means, but the thirty to forty, I understand. That I will try the fix. I like the idea of the switches and since the switches can give the IID tool a problem, then it sounds very possible that the switches may also be the cruise... -
Cruise works intermittently
could be the steering wheel switches I have the same problem, but very intermittent, and it has been there for it seems like years. I would say a new brake light switch was my first attempt at what seemed like fix a few years back. With the new switch, the problem for the most part went... -
Brake Lights don't work when headlights are on
trouble shooting tip The odds are the problem as suggested is something to do with the bulbs in the rear tail light assemblies - could also be with the reverse bulbs by the way. As such, first remove / disconnect one of complete assemblies and see if the fault messages still show. If they... -
Car wash on rails or 100% hand wash only?
the 3 is too delicate for the urban jungle I only wash my 3 myself, mostly in a wand wash, and in the summer with a rag and water hose - which works the best. I am even afraid of the spray only type of car wash where a water spray framework moves over the 3 while one sits parked in the 3... -
Nav and Radio Question
no TSB - more subtle than that You ask an interesting question. The story I best like re the operation of the Low Coolant Level warning light circuit being suspended is as follows: LR introduced the D3 in 2004 in the UK and then into the North America market for 2005. By then, LR was... -
Nav and Radio Question
brake light switch It is possible that the brake light switch is the problem. Even if replacing it does not solve the problem, your money will not have been wasted as the switch is a problem waiting to happen - a new one is good preventive maintenance. The link below has a number of files... -
Alarm going off
good to hear We will all keep our fingers crossed but it sounds like you determined the problem, which is the hard part, and a potential fix. -
Alternator - OEM or Aftermarket?
so potentially two problems then We appreciate the warning re the B+ terminal and the method of attachment - that one may have to use bits from the removed alternator - an easy solution. The other potential problem is the pulley having the wrong number of grooves. I gather the pulley you... -
Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved
Hill Descent system - only on Land Rover The brake light switch has two sets of contacts - one set to the brake light bulbs and the other set to the ABS module which is connected to the engine computer which is connected to the tranny which ... and it goes on. Yes, other vehicles have ABS... -
Water leaking onto passenger floor
Super 88 preferred to Super 33+ I think you will find that the 3M black vinyl electrical tape holds better than one might think. I use the Super 88 vinyl electrical tape rather than the Super 33+ type due to our cold weather up here but either type should be fine. As to mess, that is why I... -
Water leaking onto passenger floor
3M black electrical tape Here is another link re replacement of the cowl. http://www. disco3. co. uk/forum/topic76762.html Cut and paste and remove the three extra spaces I inserted to beat the blocking. You might also consider just taping a length of black 3M electrical tape full... -
Alternator - OEM or Aftermarket?
About three years back, my factory alternator quit - well the solenoid quit I think, and I replaced the alternator with a Wilson / WAI aftermarket unit. The first unit only lasted perhaps a week, (something to do with the internal regulator), and the free replacement second unit came with a... -
Alarm going off
Perhaps the fault is the start of a trend? Let us know how this turns out. If lubrication works, that is good news as I tend to think this no message door ajar switch? malfunction fault could be something we will see more of over time. -
Alarm going off
squirt something into the door latchs I read on another thread that a guy had isolated a similar problem - alarm goes off, but no warning message on the display, to a presumed problem with the door ajar switch within the drivers door lock assembly. He squirted CRC, whatever that is, into the... -
Sporadic dash Display
loose connector at rear My first guess is that the one and only connector from the instrument cluster cable has come loose and just has to be unplugged and plugged back in. For some reason, the plug seems to lose tightness. Most often it shows as the temperature gauge needle not moving but... -
AC went out!
frangible AC coupling If the compressor were to seize, the frangible coupling should shear. You will loose your AC but should still beable to navigate. Note that there is no AC clutch per compressor designs of years back.
