Electrical gremlins
The Limo definitely doesn't want to be sold!
Hit it with some degreaser the other day, in prep for a RWC. Gearbox refused to select low range, just "bongs" constantly when you move the lever through the gate to low.
Got underneath, and opened up the connectors I could see under the box, and at the selection motor and hit them with contact cleaner.
Now there's an error message (Select Neutral) and the gear selection lights flash all the time. Car appears to be stuck in Sport mode, holding out through the gears (won't get 4th until 100 kph +)
No errors on Nanocom (only had time for a quick look), but noticed voltage sitting around 13.1 to 13.3 in instrument mode. Got a good used alternator coming, as well as a replacement water pump that only started getting noisy when we decided to sell. Grrr!
