2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black

EML Help!

So yesterday as driving , after about 10min the EML came on, pulled over checked oil and water, all levels correct and clean and no unusual noises or change in drive. No other warning lights and temp gauge stayed in the middle.

Returned home and as I went became aware the heater matrix area was getting very hot, very. Turned the fan up fully until I got back.

Short drive today produced the exact same symptoms.

Ideas please.

Is it possible to read the ecu for any faults? 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Sadly not, have it booked into main dealer (£££) tomorrow to check.

Was wondering if the water pump would be a suspect but not sure the heat would get to the heater matrix so quickly?

Get a cheap ELM327, wifi or bluetooth, and download an app on your phone to read codes. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

If your coolant pump problem engine temp will be in the red go to limp mod with dtc
