@richsmart3212 ай бұрын
@@gavinvale2865 was going to say the same. I had a battery replaced by the AA and he told me "just drive it for 30 mins the errors will clear". since then I had loads of sensor errors & ended up spending £2k on replacement sensors only to find out that it was the battery all along. Seems that you need to use the VW software to let it know you have replaced the battery & input the new serial number. All this time by the way, I had a Carly, but there's no ability to change any of the battery settings with the ECU using the Carly software (which is a bit rubbish). I didnt bother renewing my Carly subscription as the functionality is too limited.

In this video, you said you’d reach out to Carly and see if they’d want to be a sponsor… yet they were already a sponsor? Peculiar… If you want to sell something, lying isn’t the best route. It might work on fools, but most people will be turned off from buying it if you use those types of tactics. Be transparent. People like transparency.

Defo took a brave pill on this road trip! Looking at the huge number of faults it’s either a dodgy earth or the battery is on the way out. It could be alternator slowly dying so intermittently dropping power and charge but it’s more likely battery related. Worth getting it tested, or if it’s super old then it would need to be replaced. For people criticising about lane hogging, it’s super common for a reason, especially on long road trips. You find another car making similar progress and they end up being your pace car, what they do you do too. On long journeys it would be super tiring for most people and that’s the trap that’s so easy to fall into. I noticed this pattern quite quickly and almost everyone does this on motorways, I’m confident enough that even the keyboard warriors on here would have done it themselves. Not saying it’s right but sharing my observations of our roads. This video was so wonderful to see your family making memories! The girls will remember this one for sure😊

If the fault happens again click on all of the fault codes in ONE of the sub-sections on Carly and see if a Canbus fault is shown - like a suspension module or ABS system. It may be a canbus fault caused by a faulty component causing the canbus to crash. There were some canbus errors on the first scan you did on the top levle screen, something like medium speed communication, so if you see a canbus fault in one of the sub modules that could confirm a component is crashing the canbus. If it is as I say, I don't know how to identify the faulty component, but I imagine the JLR forums will have people who will know more. The Canbus is a communication channel for the car's components and modules to talk to each other. A dodgy component can cause it to malfunction, and far as I understand it, cause errors all over the shop. Equally voltage errors in everything could show a dodgy earth strap, bad body control module/ECU or alternator problem. But Canbus throwing a wobbler, caused by a faulting sub component, would be my bet (I'm no Land Rover expert though).

As a father of 3, can only say that you should take your kids on road trips as often as you can afford it. For me, these were the times of my life since becoming a parent. Kids love to travel, to explore, to experience new things. You don''t need to buy expensive new cars for that, just make sure that it is well maintained, reliable and comfy. We regularly do 2-4 k miles European tours in summer, with 10+ or 20+ years old cars, never had any issues and I'm not a mechanic, just a regular petrolhead. There are a lot of superb campsites across the continent, you can rent great bungalows or safari tents for an accessible price. If you love to drive and travel, just go for it.

My wife's 107,000 range Rover sport threw an engine management light at Tebay. Was fine, drive rest of holiday and reset it when home. Perhaps it's something to do with Tebay.

You don’t get fined unless it’s 10 sessions or more which is 5 whole days. Take mine out all the time 2 days before half term saves £100s just by flying out 2days before the schools finish. All we get is a letter stating it’s unauthorised leave and will be referred to the council. Council when you find there terms and conditions states 10sessions missed

The way they word the letter is disgraceful 🧐

Wife’s car is a Disco 5 HSE luxury 3.0d with dynamic pack. Absolute monster and eats up big road trips especially with the TVs for the kids. It’s basically just a luxurious as the Vogue but with more practicality with the seven seat. I still have another daily 2019 mini cooper s as back up runabout and my Masa GS for the weeekends….

Ah thanks! I’m glad subscribers are enjoying it! I’d like to do more family adventures, I’ll make sure the audio is more consistent on the next one :)

Had a similar issue on mine, the same sequence of faults showing on the dash. It fixed itself when turning it off for couple of mins and back on. The dealer said it needs an ABS sensor change, because of the filth that gets to it or pressure washing behind the wheels.

How old is the Battery.? If on its way out, as you know the systems panic, it doesn’t take much. Just a thought 👍

LRs are very sensitive to their batteries and the 12v system. Had this on a Disco with lots of random electrical issues but nothing was actually wrong, changed the battery but didn’t fix it - was the alternator in the end, once replaced it was fine afterwards. May be worth checking it.

I had similar issues in my Mercedes and it was an ABS sensor that went bad, knocked out abs, cruise control, traction control and other things too. Cheap and easy fix
