    Glad you found your problem. It drives me nuts when you have a issue untill it can be "Trapped"

    ...and the gags begin!

    I'm hoping it explains a few of the front end 'squeaks' too!

    Cheers!

    The kind of fault you could really sink your teeth into ...

    sounds like this happened to me too.. although we havent found the cause yet.

    here is my blog:

    After doing much research I convinced my husband to buy me a Land Rover Disco 3. We have had it just under 2 months.

    Last week we were bogged in soft sand for 4 hours. Basically numerous electrical faults suspended traction control and look it from 4wd to 2wd. We were winched out by a Cruiser (very embarrasing) and floored it down the beach until we got to a safe zone.

    A new battery went in on Wed, followed by an alternator on Thurs. If that was meant to fix the computer problems it didnt which led our lovely mechanics to the transfer case $$$$.

    The shaft on the transfer case was jammed due to the beach incident and that was sending all the faults to the alternator and battery. So that was unjammed this morning by another land rover enthusiast who came in to RoverTech just to do the job.

    However this afternoon, all the faults are back (HTS, Transmission, Park) and its stuck in low range.

    Im asking myself if there is something bigger going on?

    So you can imagine that my husband wants to sell it, even after all the gear we have put on it. As he works away and I have little family in Perth we need a reliable 4wd.

    Does anyone else have advice/experience of the same thing happening?

    Hillan that sounds kinda odd for example that they swapped out the battery and alternator as they are easy things to check without diagnostics and that hasn't fixed anything. Your faults can be symptomatic of them as faults but there is definitely something else going on there with it being stuck in low range.

    A Faultmate should show what's going on and it's possibly electrically related somewhere or something somewhere is telling the car it is supposed to be in low range. Sounds strange too that the sand has jammed a shaft on the transfer case etc... you really need someone familiar the D3 to sort this out. There have very peculiar issues like most vehicles and you certainly have to have someone in the know to be able to deal with them to get an accurate and speedy resolution.. or be prepared to learn them yourself armed with the right tools.

    I hope you get this sorted and if you were near us i would be happy to assist.

    Ponga that photo looks like the filter stopped 'em from getting into the truck further... just like a fluffy force field!!

    Cheers.
