Thread: D3 TDV6 electrics fried - help please!

Hi - a friend of mine decided to reduce D3 servicing costs by taking to a new place in Canberra instead of Rolfe. They tried to search for fault codes using apparently pirate software and the end result is that the vehicle is snafooed and now back with Rolfe who are indicating it's not a warranty issue as someone else has played around with it (which is fair enough I guess). My question is whether it's possible to completely stuff things just by hooking up to a computer - i.e. surely Rolfe can just reset everything? It's been with them for over a week, so they seem to be indicating it's more complicated than that???

It is still not clear on who or what has actually caused the problem in the first place. Was the problem caused by the computer being plugged in or is Landrover using this as an excuse to dodge a legitimite warranty claim? At this stage - whole knows.

However the owner has been told that the two service providers will most likely sort it between themselves and the owner should not have to meet the cost of repairs.

Lets hope this is the eventual outcome. This is the guy's first landrover and I know he thinks they are a great car and it does get used as it was designed - lets hope this does not sour the views of a convert.
