    I still have a chuckle at this. Isnt the previous owner sick of you yet? You do realise people sell a vehicle to have it out of their life for whatever reason, not to have a new relationship with the next owner. A bit like still socialising with an ex partner, hey some people do it no issue.

    BTW I've not seen your old Disco come back for servicing, he may have found a new mechanic for his new vehicle.

    Probably. Chuckle on, but he has already kindly replied to a number of queries, remembering that in this case he didn't WANT to sell, he needed to for personal reasons.

    Just a wee update which may or may not be relevant.

    On the last towing trip back from Kalbarri to Perth, I had about 4 instances of the previous transmission fault (had not read faults until now and was saving them to show Dazza in 10 days time).

    This time I was looking at a different instrument mode option in the GAP tool, and noted that each fault was immediately preceded by "Current Engine Torque" exceeding 400 Nm - remembering that we are considering a 2.7L, not a 3.0 TD or SD, so my simple brain suspects that it is a built in LR over-ride, even though my remap gives me an increase to 500 Nm.

    Plus, having just now read the faults on my GAP tool, there are no faults, so each engine switch off then resume must have excised any faults?

    Gav,

    Most DTC's are stored indefinitely until physically cleared or fault fixed or both. I understand the GAP tool has settings to show you only new ones.

    Acknowledged are, pending aren’t as I understand it. Pending will go after time if the fault doesn’t reoccur enough to become acknowledged.

    Pending are also hidden by default on the IID which trips up most people chasing down Restricted Performance errors which take time to acknowledge.
