Warning alarm beeping upon acceleration

[marky_83]

hi there, new to this site, love the site keep up the good work everyone.

I Have been experiencing a warning beep- it chimes 3 times and sounds like the standard chime throughout the vechicle- its a 2002 td5 auto.
no warning lights come on when its sounding- it mostly happens on take-off and has no real consistency with it, weather it be a slow take or accelerating from a rolling start. Got me stumped. it doesnt happen everyday, but when it kicks in it might beep everytime i from a standstill.
Also situated in melb, nrthen burbs- can any one recomend a cheap mechanic who knows his stuff!

:eek:

thanks for the Help In Advance Mark

Is that a Disco TD5 Auto ?

G'day All, Mark you may need to repost this in AULRO Technical, as all the stuff in here is 60's & 70's Series Land Rovers,(ex-military) while some may own the later model Land Rovers (my old 110 County doesn't have any like that in it!!:D ) anyway pleased that you like the site cheers mate Dennis:wasntme:

Dinty's right it should be in the technical chatter forum, more people will see it that way.

However, assuming your's is a Disco, the only thing I know that gives three chimes is the SLS (self leveling suspension)

An it seems like your problem happens when moving away from a stop - does it happen around 30 kph. As this is where the SLS would normally return to standard road height after the rear has been raised manually.

Now I don't have a solution for you - just a suggestion on where to look.

I would check the ride height sensors/arms on the rear suspension, you may also want to check the warning bulb - because I am sure something should iluminate, check the manual ride height adjustment switch.

As Ladas stated it could be the SLS

just a quick question you haven't got Hill Decent Control activated?

Easiest way to find a fault is to take the vehicle to your nearest landrover specialist to get the fault read.

sorry about that guys- didnt read the subheading. Will repost now. Thanks for tips will look into the suspension sensors

I just popped out to the post office, and so I thought I would test my theory.

I started the car, pumped up to the high ride height, then drove off, at 30 k/h three chimes and the car returns to normal ride height.
