Just bought my first Land Rover....

[drew_lewis]

UPDATE!!! I got it running again!! I must have inadvertently partially disconnected one of the connectors to the ecu under the p/s seat. I moved the seat forward all of the way and attempted to start it and it fired right up. Pushed all of the connectors in to make sure all was good. Moved the seat back and now it starts every time. Here are the current codes being given...

P0730 Incorrect gear ratio
P0741 Torque converter clutch solenoid - circuit performance or stuck off.

ABS
U1A4A Invalid data received from differential control module - rear.

Wishful thinking. I told you this thing would be very intermittent and maybe start and run once it drys out a little. I run them with both seats out on a regular basis. Seats out on the floor next to the truck and srs light on. They run like that. the only time I saw a car not run because of the seat was a babling ocupancy sensor module. that car would only run with the seat unplugged.

or you disturbed a splice while you plled the sil;l trim and harness around. Not tying to be a downer but dont trust it and go someplace far.

Yea, no plans on driving it much. I still need to get the last 3 codes remedied and all warning lights turned off. These codes seem pretty legit...is the torque converter clutch solenoid difficult to get at? Internal?

If those thrans codes are real then you need a trans. the incorrect gear ration fault indicates something is slipping. The tcc code could be caused by the other things I told you to check. brake peddle stuff, or believe it or not the wrong bulb in a brake light. (not trying to be funny) a brake light bulb

Sounds like you need a transmission.

 

[drew_lewis]

Any chance of a flush and fill remedying the issue?

No, I don't think so. The fluid could be low I guess.

I wouldn't waste money flushing it, but I would check and adjust the fluid level to see if that takes care of it. More than likely you need a transmission.

 

[discostew]

ok here is what you do for now untill you find that stuff.

You go get a bag of potatoes , the big baking kind. and a good stick about the size of a plunger handle but maybe a little thicker.

Then you go over to this guys lot and start jamming those potatoes into every cars tail pipes you think you can get without being seen by any cameras. That should keep him busy until we get this figured out. It wont help your situation but I think it would make most of us feel better.

Hope he didnt get busted when he was out jamming potatoes in tail pipes.

Flood vehicle. You still need to check ALL electrical connections and modules as stated before. ALL, these are water resistant not waterproof. You do not know how long it sat in water. Change ALL fluids and might have to clean fuel tank and flush injectors. Do not think something is right, take the time and check everything, as door locks and windows will eventually be faults too. Dry it out, check it out, fluid it out. These guys will lead you to getting it right, just do not give up.

 

[discostew]

I think it's running now since he dried it out. No news is good news I guess

 

[drew_lewis]

No, I got it running the other day...but I'm still not driving it until it's 100%. I ordered ZF Lifetime fluid and filter from Atlantic British. I have the front end in the air, about to drain and see what I'm dealing with. I know someone said "don't waste your money" but the cost to flush and fill is considerably cheaper than a transmission....still drying everything out and now I have it in the garage now as well.

 

[discostew]

so there going to send you the pan ? Since the filter is Part of the pan. Boy is that is going to be tough on the ground. Well let us know how that works out. Did someone tell you that you could fix a slipping trans with new fluid ? I know jymmie and I mentioned that the fluid could be low. Did you check the level ? What was your water leak? I usually fix the leak and then dry it out. But hey...sounds great.

I guess if you used a cherry picker at the right front corner of the engine and a trans jack at the transfer case you could get the pan to clear the frame. This should be cool. Think you could take some pictures? Your probably going to be the first guy ever to pull that off. You should document it.

 

[drew_lewis]

Well, I attempted to do the filter change....I couldn't even get a single bolt loose from the cross-member....I decided to just siphon off 3lts of old fluid and replace with new. I'll take a stab at the filter again in a month or so. I'm going to have to start driving it now...

if I can get myself a pan replacement before you do that I'll do a write up in the tech section. I have not ever considered doing something like that on my back. You can leave the crossmember in. By the time you get the engine and trans jacked up high enough to clear the sump tube it won't matter that it's in there. You could just drain it from the Allen head drain at the rear of the pan. I think it's a 10mm. Maybe a 12mm. Can't remember.

 

[discostew]

Show me a picture of what they sent you. If it's not a whole trans pan I'm not sure they sent you the correct stuff.

How did you siphon off 3 quarts of fluid?

 

[drew_lewis]

It was suppose to be simple with a siphon connected to the top cooler line...it didn't work out to well and the end result was very barbaric...I'm frankly a little embarrassed...I connected a hose to the cooler port on the radiator and took the line running from the transmission. Placed both of those lines in a bucket and started the engine. I let it run for about 30-45 seconds. I measured the amount of fluid that came out and pumped that much back in with my siphon.

I've also found a direct correlation between codes and no start.

Anytime the truck will not start, these codes are visible. (These are in addition to the P0730, P0741 and U1A4A)

Transmission
U0122 Lost communication with vehicle dynamics control module

ABS
C1A00 Control Module

 

[discostew]

When it does that it cranks but wont start?
