Took the front end apart to find the faulty park sensor. Oddly it was a sensor that had been changed out and replaced with a rear one! Left it disconnected as it has a short across the pos and neg feed which brings down the supply to both front and rear. Annoyed that the park assist ECU can tell that it is faulty now it is disconnected but not clever enough to be able to allow the others to work!Series 1 V8

Pick up my Disco Tomorrow
It is ready, my new to me 06 disco3 with new oil pump and cam belts as per this sites recommendation. Thanks are due as engine should hopefully be ok for a while.
She is a low mileage s spec auto in grey metallic paint. I've traded in the wife's Honda Jazz and my S class Mercedes, both useless with five dogs on tow. Now it is two Land Rovers, the new to us Disco and the old Freelander 1 workhorse, 140K and still running sweetly in spite of my servicing.
I'll let you know how I get on and ask for advice on what I want to do to her once she is mine.
See you tomorrow.
