Re: HELP - fault code U0416 + many more
Sods law says it'll be something daft and cost more to diagnose than the replacement part.
As I understand it, a lot of the fault codes are just written when one thing happens and x doesn't equal y. Therefore, diagnose the originating issue and the remainder are rubbish. I'd cack myself every time i plugged a fault reader in, which is why I don't have one

Re: HELP - fault code U0416 + many more
Well latest update is we are getting closer to fixing the faults. Gavin at GTR motors littleport, Cambs has now located a dead wire from the rear ABS sensor to the front wheel arch. So fingers crossed Monday they are going to find the break and repair it! So far it has been a long and painful process of fault finding but last nite we had a result with finding the dead cable. Hopefully my next post will be the one saying all my problems are solved!

It's often the way that something so simple can cause so much grief. Hope it is just a cable break.

Gavin at GTR Motors has yet again has scored 10/10
Well I am happy to say that my little Disco is back to full heath, suspension up, all warning lights are gone, and I have the perma grin back on my face. I must say a massive thanks to Gavin and his team for making her better, I must also thank Gavin's wife due to him working late into the night on a couple of evenings (which didn't go down well I am sure). After many, many hours of fault finding and computer diagnostics, we finally found a dead cable and then they managed to work there way along the whole length until they found a tiny hole in the outer plastic. This tiny hole which to be fair you could have passed many times without even noticing it and plus it was deep be hide the wheel arch. Once this was skill fully repaired and patched up she came back to life! It has been a long and painful process but the end result was worth it.
I can thoroughly recommend Gavin at GTR Motors in Littleport, Cambridgeshire the service is second to none, they operate a transparent, honest service. When I had a Full service there (for £200!) you actually get to see the parts removed and there no question that the work has been carried out (a few of my service parts looked a lot older than a year old and in some cases the parts he removed looked original! naughty main dealers!) If anyone what's Gavin's mobile its 07702 853447 he's the boss and he has a D3 which is always a good sign when looking at independent garages, due to his good level of service 6 of my work colleges all use him now!

Re: HELP - fault code U0416 + many more
That is indeed the perfect result
I don't suppose there's a picture of the damage so we'll know what to look for?
