Please excuse the long list below.
Had a very recent gearbox recon, plus alternator failure so replaced at same time, plus abs ecu repaired as getting 3 amigos. All ok for a while but now getting ‘engine failsafe’ ‘trans failsafe’ ‘dsc, hdc, abs inactive’ ‘air suspension inactive’ rev counter dropping to zero then recovering, temp gauge max then recovering, - can clear faults then drive again for a while, wondering if/when it will ‘bong, bong, bong’ again.
Also had a new battery about 3 months ago.

This was the fault list before clearing - it really looks electrical to me but where? Anyone else had similar? This thing has cost me the best part of £3k in the last month and I’ve had my fill.

Any suggestions greatly received

I’ve got a pretty big ‘water ingress’ somewhere. The spare wheel well swims - so am wondering if that is the issue. Now tracing it and finding what is ‘corroded’ is the problem. Current: 2004 Vogue 4.4 V8 - 2004 Discovery 2

So I have had to return the abs ecu once again and it is now pronounced unrepairable - suggesting possible can bus system software error, and parts not available. I am loathed to buy a recon unit in case there is something else tha is causing the problem.
Any ideas? Apart from a match! Current: 2004 Vogue 4.4 V8 - 2004 Discovery 2

This is 5 year old thread but how did you fix the problem?
