Transfer box calibration Report post
Wheels bing on cornering and clunking in a straight line
I have tried virtually everything
Replaced with used parts from GOS
Front diff
Rear diff
Front prop
Transfer box
New parts
Rear prop
Front hub
Rear handbrake shoes
All new transmission oils (fb ox/ xterm box/ both diffs
Most recent is the transfer box and understand the clutches need calibration
Symptoms seem worse than before after changing transfer box and gearbox oil ( main gearbox appeared over full before oil change)
Does anyone have any ideas
Could it be the gearbox Mx ( 6sp manual)
Would overfilling have masked symptoms fir a while ? Had the car about a year.
Does anyone have a nanocom I could hire / borrow in the GODSTONE / redhill area to try calibration of transfer box
I have tried the process described on here Amanda does nothing
It’s a 2006 manual tdv6
ThanksRichard

Hi
Wonder if the steering wheel angle sensor may cause this, have u had a look to see that it’s calibrated ok
Just an idea and hopefully the more Experienced members will be along to verify that or if its something totally different

Thanks for the thought. Mine is a basic model without the steering angle sensor. I also had the wheel alignment checked early on to eliminate it as a possibility

Hi
Ur Very welcome and don’t know how much use it is
All D3 will have a steering wheel angle sensor , because it needs to know which direction the wheel are pointing
Wheel alignment is just to ensure everythimg is lined up correctly according to manufacturer’s specifications
Have u tried disabling ur DSC and then seeing if it still does it
Just trying to think of the basics so at least they can 100 % be ruled out
Are all ur wishbone bushes , drop links etc all ok plse
Plus is there any guarantee the second hand parts that have been fitted are also 100% perfect
There are many here who are extremely knowledgeable who will be able to guide u better
Just wished to run a few things past u to see if they had been done
Alas don’t know how much help that is

Dsc switched off no different
4 wheel alignment done at Kwik fit
True, the used parts may not be good, just unlikely that it’s the same fault
I know transfer box clutches need calibration, just not sure if that’s the answerRichard

Many thks for answering that lot
Assume Kwik fit have u a printout
My only concern is if they did indeed reset ur steering wheel angle sensor
Any lights showing up on the dashboard
Indeed may be that ref the transfer box
As a side note there also a a fantastic alignment place that way that uses hunter systems, will try and find the details for u in case u ever need alignment done
So if that’s all ok indeed need to get some diagnostics on there

No lights or errors on dash
No printout from keikfit but I could see the computer screens and wheels were aligned
Not sure about reset of position sensor. Still not convinced mine had any. Where are they located ?
How do you reset the position sensors ?Richard

After all you have spent on it would you not consider buying a diagnostic tool? It will help you sort these issues out rather than throwing parts at the problem!
Most people on here use the GAP IID which is a great bit of kit and easy to use. They often come up for sale here on the forum and if you're quick you might be able to snap one. It will save you tons of money too especially if your experiences to date are anything to go by.
As for your current problem the diagnostic codes will point you in the direction if not actually nail it!
Either way, you are correct in seeking to calibrate the transfer box given the level of rebuild you have done. As GStuart says you do have a steering angle sensor, and it will need re-calibrating if you have had adjustment of the wheel alignment. It may also as suggested be part of your current problem!yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Hi
Thanks for the reply
I have been looking at what is the best tool for a discovery 3
Looks like the one you suggest are around £500 ? Are they vin locked ?
ThanksRichard

Unless its the Pro version they are VIN locked, however you can buy additional licences from GAP if you want to add more vehicles. I think they are around £50 or so. You can buy second hand ones on here for around £300.
You then need to arrange the change of ownership with GAP.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ
