    Hi Andy
    Wouldn't TC and the ABS (ie braking hard for the ABS to kick in) exercise the shuttle valves anyway?

    On mine, the TC is very sensitive, as in it come on over speed bumps, so I guess they did get a fair workout then.

    The shuttle valve switch module was replaced in my 2002 TD5 not long before I bought it nearly 2 years ago - the problem went away for a few months but then returned.

    The simplest fix (cheapest) is to replace the shuttle valve switch module BUT there is no guarantee that the problem won't return.

    The previous owner just drove around Sydney on the bitumen and towed a small caravan on two occasions, in fact I stuggled to shift it into low range the lever was almost stuck. Don't think it was ever used.

    The abs trac control etc. was possible never activated. Bleeding the brakes as well as a bit of use seems to have solved the problem so far and on the weekend I will check out the wheel sensors.

    I have printed out a lot of the relevent stuff and now have enough notes to fill 3 phone books.

    Will have a good look at bleeding the brakes using the abs pump as described somewhere in the pile of notes and hope for the best. If that fails will dig a bit deeper.

    Thanks everyone the info on here is fantastic.

    Thumbs up

    Hi My Dysco SII had this problem on and off since I purchased it (2nd hand) two years ago, about six months ago I gave it a realy good 4X4 work out and I have not had the problem since. As they say : IF you dont use it you lose it.

    So get out and drive it as it was designed to be driven

    Hi Hendrik
    I dont thing regular use does work the shuttle valves that much.
    Find a big hill(bitumen is fine) put it in lowrange and let the HDC do its work.You will see it works the system well,especially if its a big hill.
    Its all HDC is good for
