Calling Mr Sniegy.

Incisor received this email earlier today, that I have just cut and pasted here, Ron then put it up in the Breakdown section. Given the D3/4/RRS section has the most knowledgeable people on late model Disco issues I thought it might also be good have Don's email listed here as well.

If anyone has any ideas on what might be wrong with Don's D3 and how he might fix it that would be appreciated.

Andrew

sounds like a bad ground to me.

What faults return soon after clearing all faults?

My guess is the intermittent faults are the one's returning. Am wondering if an earth fault can cause some of these, but its not something I have dealt with before.

Hopefully only a connection somewhere around the battery shaken loose by the frequent ventures off the bitumen.

Has he done the basic checks ?
I.E. brake lights are O.K.
Brake light switch.
Hard reset.
When is it happening under hard axcelleration, any time ?
If he is carrying spare fuel filter just change it anyway just in case.
