D4 Red triangle restricted performance

**LRD414** · 21st January 2019, 01:04 PM

Declan, have a read of the iiD User Manual for details but in short the 4th element which is in brackets is not that useful to fault diagnosis. The 4th element relates to the status of the fault in regards to Pending versus Confirmed etc.

Regards,
Scott

Thanks Scott I'm learning as I go along😀

Just got confirmation the drivers side manifold is cracked 😠 so leaving it in at MR Automotive ( really good independent landrover mechanics) going to have both side manifolds done as they say the other one usally goes as well , and while there doing that getting the back of engine belts done too while all the bits and pieces are of the engine 😭 $$$$$$$

Thanks to everyone for your input chasing down this fault .

Sorry to hear that. Get them to replace front crank shaft seal while they're there. It's a $10 seal.

What age and km is your D4?

Cheers,
Scott

**Declan** · 22nd January 2019, 08:10 PM

Scott D4 is 2012 has 142km on it never had a problem with it apart from this , typical landrover I had a range rover L322 2003 and the gearbox ( from a Holden commodore ) they put in that could only take torque of 340nm but the 4WD was rated at 390nm.
You think they would learn, there lucky we love our landrovers and put up with some bad designs in them.

The inlet manifolds are on about their 11th version. LR/Ford are trying in more ways than one!

**Declan** · 23rd January 2019, 05:01 AM

Understand Graeme but does not help when you have to pay thousands of dollars for there bad design,they should at least pay 50% if there manifolds are on the 11 design 😠
