| engine and suspension fault |
|
have disco 3 2007 mileage unknown ( due to being clocked before i bought ) but guess 220k
i have 2 faults it developed a misfire and on a long journey it will intermittantly flash up engine system fault
EGR valces has been suggested but i understand you cant blank them on these later cars
2 nd fault is when cornering heavily to left ABS seems to start clattering and a warning light flashes orange with a triangle sign in middle
any ideas what it could be

start with the basics of tyre pressure and wear either that or are you forgetting its a two and a half ton beast. Joined the BMWX5 45e group

I had that, with a softer tyre.
Check the drivers door area, the correct pressures for the tyres are noted somewhere.
After I done them all to the correct value, that fault disappeared

Mine was only when I took a specific bend to the left on a mountain road where
we live. It was only at 45 MPH not at 40 and not at 50.
All I know is when I had both front tyres at the correct PSI as indicated
by the driver's door, it disappeared.
