Scotland 2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Rimini Red
ABS T/C lights on
Hi, i know this has been covered before, but what i need and can't find is a copy of the technical bulletin LTB00078v2/2007.
does anyone have a copy?????

2007 110 Utility - only bought it 3 days ago Big Cry
I've looked at the cables - all appear to be OK, the earth on the battery is good and the connection to the chassis & engine appears fine. lights come on after a few minutes driving - can't pin it down to speed / turning / bumps etc.
Any ideas much appreciated...

The usual causes are a poorly seated sensor, chaffed cables or worn wheel bearings. A diagnostic tool of some description can narrow it down to a particular wheel so you know where to look. Darren

unfortunately not- it came from Lix Toll in Perthshire - I'm just waiting for them to call me back - I emailed them a list of problems with it that I have discovered after only having it since friday...Big Cry time to find out if they are a good dealer - i do hope so.

and thanks K9F - i've seen the other posts regarding the same problem, that what lead me to check wiring / earths etc. Series IIa Lightweight - Long Gone

I bought mine about a month ago and have this same problem, checked on here and so checked multi plugs and a visual on all the abs cables underneath and the earth cables. Car has done 21,000 miles (08 plate) and three lights come on as soon as i start it (started off intermittently but has got worse over time).

If you work out the problem let me know Rolling Eyes William

well - it's back at Lix Toll, they are having it for a couple of days as there are other issues.
one thing I did notice today, was that after I filled up with diesel, the ABS & TC light took a lot longer to appear????? Series IIa Lightweight - Long Gone

Mine was 'weather dependant' itnitially the fault only occured when the conditions were wet which then provided an electrical path for the cable to ground to earth. As time progressed the fault manifested itself more and more as the chafed cable got worse. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

I had this as well. Repaired under warrantee. Dealer said there was a bit of metal stuck between contacts on the ECU thingy. Hope this helps.

Garage have just phoned to say that they can't find a problem with it - they have checked the wiring, the sensors, earths etc as per the technical bulletin - all OK EXCEPT the lights keep coming on! with nothing logged in the computer - they are phoning LR in the morning to see what else it could be.
Hope this get resolved soon as I paid a lot of money for a car that I've owned for 12 days and for 6 of those it's been back in the garage Big Cry
