Thread: Darwin Land Rover service - who to use?

Has the fuel filter been changed recently? If not then worth doing to be sure its not the cause of the low injector pressure.

I've had gearbox fault messages triggered by the suspension ecu when trying out changes during Llams development but I didn't check to see if the message originated from the TCM (gearbox ecu) or the suspension ecu.

Finding the reason for the hard-on suspension fault should be easy and may point to the reasons for the other faults.

.

We changed all filters including fuel before the trip, transmission was inspected but didn't need servicing etc. Will see what they can find tomorrow in Alice then back onto the dirt! Stuart Highway is fairly boring!

Think our luck with Land Rover servicing in the Outback has ran out! Just had a call from Suttons and their diagnostic computer is down since the upgrade last Wednesday. Means they can't do any work my car or anyone else's eg to do the compressor upgrade install they need the computer and again to verify if the parts are actually the correct ones which they said we'd need in Darwin. They can't check the gearbox fault message out either of course but that only came on once in 2000 odd kms from the trip down from Darwin. Earliest they will have the computer back from Sydney is Monday / Tuesday and all LR loan computers are in use elsewhere.
Have 11 days left till the end of our trip now so running out of time and options to get the compressor fixed and the other error diagnosed. What is one to do?? Take a chance & continue on towards Boulia or head to Adelaide??

I would change the fuel filter again in case a load of rubbish has been picked-up. However unless I was sure the performance fault was cured, I would avoid unnecessarily driving into remote places. I assume the gearbox fault was triggerred by the reduced engine performance and therefore can be ignored.

With the suspension up to normal height I would remove the 20A engine bay suspension system fuse to stop the suspension from lowering and the 5A passenger compartment suspension system fuse to stop the frequent annoying 50 kph messages then drive it anywhere where off-road height wasn't a necessity.

it's nice in Alice this time of year

You've had a bad run! I'm sure it will turn around for you before long. Good luck with the remainder of your trip
