Ok, this noise is hard to describe, but I'll have a go. Car starts and drives no problem. No issue with gear changing. However, when I stop at a junction, or pull into my drive (I am moving slowly) there's a sort of hollow noise, almost a slapping, but more of a whawhawha noise. If I put the car in neutral or park it stops. Put it back into drive and it's there again. But only after I've been driving. Is it transmission fluid, something loose, a worn belt? Any ideas? I'm going to have to take it in, as I don't want it getting worse. Ta.

Well, Kids are all left home, a Rav4 and a big ol' estate seems a bit much. As much as I love the car, it makes sense for me to downsize as it will be only me in it now (maybe to a lovely old landrover) - but here we go. It's sitting at 104000 miles at the moment. Never missed a service - I have all the stamps upto a year after I bought it when I serviced it myself - full services each time (receipts available) - if you check the MOT you'll see some advisories - these have all been rectified. I am looking for £14000ono. It is well-loaded as you'll see below. I would contemplate a p/x or swap for a county/defender or series landy.

For ref:

Have you serviced the car? Oil and filter at least? If so, you go to Workshop in the app, you should be able to reset.

Quick update _ have managed to sort it going straight to yellow lights! However, the C101C800 - Function deactivation active fault is still showing after a scan... Maybe I need to drive it - will do in the morning and see. Then I may sell it if anyone is interested? 🙂

I had this, recently. Must be wear and tear:

Well, fed up with the constant air-suspension yellow light coming on after 30 miles, and the rest. I decided to replace the level sensor myself. All done, and all good. Had the car in RAISE, so working with one wheel off was ok. All on, and drive off - the car says the height is to high and is adapting... nice. Get back to the drive, and decide to calibrate. I look at history, and the garage has obviously never tried! So !Removed! off already. Then take measurements of each wehell and begin calibration. Funny little code 24 errors, so try a different tack...whilst doing this I foolishly (and I do blame post-COVID fog) pressed clear all adaptations. Now there is no ability to adjust and the yellow lights for everything to do with the adaptive tech are on!! I ended up venting the front air to level the car to 410 all around - but...looking at this online, it may mean a trip to the dealers. BUT - my q is - if you have to renew the 4G0907553F suspension control unit during a job on a car - how do you recode that - or is it precoded? In which case I may just buy one!! HELP though... 😞

Did you get to the bottom of this?

If you invest in the OBDEleven you can scan the car for faults yourself. That's how I discovered this was the ABS sensor in my case. In fact it's been amazing at sorting all problems. Your garage may scan for free... The rough engine is another matter though. But a scan will at least point you in the right direction.

I had this. It was the ABS sensor on one wheel.

Even the dog is unimpressed!

Crappy plastic gears. What &#33;Removed&#33;. Took the garage a wee bit to find this, even though I mentioned it. But they also caught a failing solenoid. Attached is pic of those !Removed! plastic parts. Worn worm screw and teeth chipped off the gear. So much for a "glow-plug" warning!

Thanks!! It's booked in for Monday/Tues. Any links would help. The garage is good at going with pointers. It didn't come on just now when I reversed. I even blipped the revs. But it needs to be looked at. I'll let you know.

Driving quite quickly home last night - then the coil light comes on, flashing. Because phone is playing spotify I can ask it to tell me what it means! I get some generic stuff, but at least I know - as it drops in to limp mode - I'll get home. So, home and scan. I get the p00af00 - turbocharger/supercharger boost control "a" module performance. I've looked this up and I am hoping it's just the boost control module. If I clear codes, the car is fine when I start it - but if I rev it the flashing begins. Anyone else had experience of this, and the possible cost 😞

I'll see about getting belt changed

I service the car myself, but ... at 100k is there anything I need to have done that I MUST have done, or at the very least checked out? Thanks

...aye, and charge you a fortune for the 'special' tool use.

I don't know what model you have exactly, but the specs for a 2014 say 6.4 litres.

When you refill, you have to do it very carefully with the MMI. You will notice that it shows an initial reading then a new reading about 15 secs later. That's the one to go by. Just fill it when hot, and you'll be fine - but it's very sensitive. Hence I use the oil pump!!

And remember the oil in the filter will come out too!!

Also, there's a torque setting for the oil filter too.

I use an oil pump. Best thing ever. No under the car messing about.

Put in a saved search in eBay and you'll get emails when new ones appear. That one did seem good. I nearly got one just before xmas - as I say £175.

Bah...

If it comes with the full VCDS software, that's a &#33;Removed&#33; bargain. I may beat you to it 🙂 You can always return it if it doesn't work.
