alpaca Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Discussion Starter • #1 • a moment ago Went to start the rover this morning... it cranked for 10 seconds then finally started ... ran rough, smelt of fuel, check engine light flashed on then off, hdd fault, transmission fault F code in display. I shut it down. Tried a restart and it would only crank. Got out the odb2 reader .. showed 2 pending codes .. p0118 (apparently coolant temp sensor error) and u2023p. Thermostat body had been replaced about 2 years ago.. so hard to believe the coolant sensor had failed. I pulled the engine cover off .. and saw the mouse had been chewing the insulation from the cover ... after I cleaned that up, I saw wiring damage on one of the wires that runs along the top left side of the engine (as you are looking at it from the front) ... pulled he connector and soldered a bit of spare wire in to fix the break... rover started right up and seems to run normal now .... off to the hardware store to get some mouse traps !2006 Range Rover sport hse 4.4 na Edited April 14, 2021 by alpaca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
