Hi Clive
Just had a look through some of your previous posts, the 02 - 04 RR had lots of different electrical systems working at the same time from BMW, LR and own ECU manufacturers software but from what you have written above the CAN Bus communication between the ECUs is causing the main problem. How far has your garage gone into checking the CAN Bus connections and splices. Generaly the ECUs are ok it's the wriring to them thats at fault. If you could let me know your exact vehicle details I will try and help some more. You can email them over to me on brian@greenovalgarage.co.uk.
Hope I can help

Check inside your ABS module as they can get green corrosion on the "tongues" and disrupt the signal - as the ABS is in line with al the other sensors it throws up errors in all those too. I found a little bit of corrosion on my ABS module which threw up trans fail safe mode, hdc, restricted power etc etc. took it to .Lr dealer and they said new ABS module required ( at £1000!). Took it apart, cleaned mine with air hose and brush and everything back to normal and no recurrence!

I noticed similar issues were discussed on the BBS forums (they make the Faultmates) and damages wiring is another issue that can screw up the CAN bus system.

Not sure if you can get onto their forums without a user account but you can maybe ask them http://www.blackbox-solutions.com/

Have you tried the CAN bus reset ?? Remove both battery clamps from the battery, hold them together for at least 2 minutes to fully reset the ECUs and see if that helps. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

hi guys thankyou for all your replies unfortunatly i didnt know you had replied as my email has bern down the car goes into the garage in the morning but i might delve into the abs module and have a look tonight,today i had just select gears again and no tip tronic so its going back for a replacement gear selector under warranty i bought to see if that cures that fault still coming up,after my reset ecu tomorrow with new software i will update you and let you know

I can sense your frustration, but having a go at people on a forum where you're "needing help and fast" could prove more than a little counter productive!  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

sorry you feel that locking your other thread [with the same question] is petty but as i have said , you will probably get the same suggestions if members cant see your existing thread and whats been said already....

so you have 25 posts and you havnt made any contribution to the forum ..you've only asked questions to your problems but dont get me wrong , we dont mind helping ,if we can... ... - .- -.

thankyou for your reply stan if i can help the forum in anyway then i will and contribute to it but to start a new thread to seek some answers rather urgently i didnt think was an issue to reach a conclusion
with different issues with the car hoping that someone could shed some light on the issue,,
so my car has faulted 25 times surely this forum is to gather information from other owners experiences and is a question of process off elimination?
in no way shape or form was ' i having a go at other members on this forum' so id appreciate that part deleting please,compared to other forums i have joined this is an exclusive one with some very good pointers and i value there opinion
the car is going into the garage for throttle bodies and throttle pedal next to be looked at on wed,,and the fault might lie in the loom in there,i think myself it is still gearbox related but i honour all members opinions and look forward to a reply if possible,,stan i think this site is of great benefit as was the rrs forum and discovery one too but to lock my thread to me was petty and i think everyone is entitled there opinion without offence,
