Thanks. I’ve also tried using the IID to check oil level. It shows level and volume. Both make little sense to me, but do change depending on how much oil there is in the car.Gary

.Also, Brownie points to whoever designed the way the grille & lights are removable so quickly, without tools
Be careful what you wish for. There are many on here that have suffered the consequences of this ' feature' and see this as a real negative.Gary

Yeah, fair point, but I live in a very, very dull area, so not much risk here.

Likewise 👍
22 Oct 2024 - the new door mirror glass arrived. Very easy to fit. I took the opportunity to check all the resistances:
Passenger side, this one was flagging an error code, 162.2 ohms:
Driver's side, not flagging an error (yet), 53.7 ohms:
And the new ones, both identical at 12.6 ohms:
Let's see how long they last !

4 Nov 2024 - gradually investigating a P006A-00 error, "Manifold absolute pressure - mass or volume air flow correlation", I'm going to have a go at the manifolds. Possibly contentious - I've just ordered a pair via Aliexpress. Due here in 1-2 weeks. The price is very attractive.

17 Nov 24 - I'm not breaking out the champagne yet but I think I'm onto something regarding the Restricted Performance problem. A while back I was looking at the live data and noticed a mismatch in exhaust temperatures, one bank permanently low, but googling told me that is normal as it's not actually the banks that it's measuring, it's the turbos, and the secondary turbo only kicks in under a reasonable load. I thought no more of it.
Today I was able to watch the live data again, with the MAF readings in parallel too, and noticed that even under load the secondary turbo didn't seem to be kicking in - no airflow from the MAF and no temperature increase in the exhaust. But Restricted Performance coming up fairly repeatably. Which seemed odd - obviously this is a problem but shouldn't (to my mind) create an air volume / pressure mismatch. The error is always "Manifold absolute pressure - mass or volume air flow correlation".
Google again, and the Compressor Shut Off Valve ("CSOV") is a known issue. This opens & closes to feed or block the secondary turbo. There's a TSB about replacing the actuator. Useful thread here:
Excitedly I checked it out.... only to find I already have the updated actuator and my actuator and valve both move freely. Harrumph.
While I was pottering I figured I should check out the MAFs. I unplugged & replugged each in turn while watching the live data and they behaved correctly. I swapped them over and did the same again, still fine.
Then I went for a drive and suddenly the secondary turbo works ! MAF & exhaust temperature readings as expected - nothing from the secondary side while cruising or accelerating gently, but they spring into action when you hoof it. Mostly no errors but it did flag up once, and it was right at the point where the valve opens, just as the MAF reading shot up it triggered.
I think I'll need to remove the whole unit and see if it's a bit gungy inside. Lack of hoof and possibly cheap diesel by previous owners could be the cause.
10 Nov 2024 - I marshalled at the Rushmoor Targa. Here's a photo of my marshalling point. The tailgate makes a perfect place to sit.

Well, the first supplier was a waste of time ! Didn’t send them and I eventually got a refund from Aliexpress. I ordered another pair from another seller on 22 Nov, a few quid cheaper thanks to the ever-changing discount codes and they arrived today. They look OK. Nothing special. I might get around to fitting them over the Christmas break.
For reference Aliexpress charge VAT when you place your order, and I didn’t get charged any import duty at this end. £160.44 all in.

29 Dec 2024 - I may have been a bit hasty.
I'd had a general look at the top of the engine already, it's a horribly messy mess of wires and hoses, I'd noted oil in the vee near the oil filter between the manifolds (oil cooler being a popular cause of leaks) and oily residue all around the general area, but didn't think about it beyond "I'll clean that up some time". I fixated on the manifolds being the problem.
This morning I happened to watch some Youtube videos by LR TIME. Sehr gut. A video of theirs when a friend had just bought a Disco and took it to them for a check over. One of the fixes they did was on the inlet side of the throttle body where boost hose connects, and often if it's been removed for any reason the incompetent main agent spanner f**kwit will fail to put it back on properly because there's a hose very slightly in the way and you need to shove it into place quite hard to make sure the securing clip actually secures it.
Oh look. Wonky. All that oil sprayed over the top of the engine was probably coming from here.
I am SO glad I bought a car with FSH it's such a reassurance that it's been looked after
Very simple job to take it off, clean it up a bit and put it back. It even looked as though it had been hitting the fan. There's an identical notch in every blade. The BOOOOSSST pressure must have been pushing it quite a long way off the throttle body ?
I've only been for a shortish drive but that joint was very obviously leaking and the uphill drag near here that would reliably cause it to go into limp mode didn't. I'm hopeful.
