Let me down - literally

Well I was having a great time on the Disco3.co.uk Salisbury weekend... Until I started to get suspension fault, park brake error etc. On one road section the car actually dropped to access mode at about 60 mph. Last night the vehicle wouldn't even raise out of access mode and I have a dashboard full of lights and many warning bongs. So the LR Assist man recovered the vehicle to my house and is on his way back this morning to try and solve the problem.

I love my Disco 3 but can't help feeling dissappointed when this happens to a £35k car... Maybe it's just water ingress into the wiring in the wheelarch but as mine is an '06 model you would have thought this issue would have been cured!

Bad news mate... but please don't tell us VA helped tow you back to the hard top Wink

Mines done some pretty rough and wet off roading and still drives like a dream after nearly 40K miles. I think you've just been unlucky with this.

Good luck with the fix.

cheers Simon. The car actually died in Salisbury after the days activities so I didn't have to suffer the embarresment of a RRSport tow! Shocked Very Happy

Mine had done 10,000 trouble free miles until this. Including some off-road jaunts. I couldn't be happier with the car until yesterday.

The LR Assist guy has just been and the car was showing lots of communication errors. He has cleared them and said if they come back to go to the dealer. He said if one error gets in the system it can lead to many others. I guess he basically did a CTL-ALT-DEL on it!

Interesting piece of gossip though - he reckons that the latest software patch on V13 is sometimes causing more problems than it's resolving.. Rolling Eyes

They do, of sorts. It's the ignition on and off (is it 5 times??) trick.

Be aware that this "hack" can wipe the error codes from the ECU, which may result in slower diagnosis. I wouldn't recommend it.

Simple switching off and removing the key will normally deal with any software/communication bus glitches - which may never reoccur. If there is an underlying physical problem, the fault will doubtless manifest itself again at some future point, and need to be fixed.

Unnecessary quote removed

It doesn't wipe the full error log - I used this twice (and the dealer once, on day 1) in the 10 days I had mine before it went in to be fixed. Even after 3 resets, the service team leader was able to show me the full log of errors right back to mile 6 Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

That depends upon what error it is you are trying to clear.
