Really sorry fella! That come from posting on several threads at the same time on different forums TDV8 now with extra grin factor thanks to Alive Tunning: Gone but not forgotten

Rob let us know if it works and maybe list the items you have purchased and some photos etc it may well help others on here

just had a look at this on the disco 3 site you said waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy to complicated for me lol as i said Bodsy hes your man lol

I'm sure Bodsy would be able to sort my issue but
1. He is a bit far away from me.
2. He probably wont talk to me now that I have confused him with another member

I had a good read through that thread and it seems that a lockout occurs after three no starts and the only way to clear is via a reset via faultmate, LR diagnostics or the lead I am putting together.

What surprised me was that a no start can occur if the fuel warning light is on. So if you start your motor below 5 deg with the fuel light on three times in succession without a successful start to break them up you have a lock out that needs a dealer visit

Don't see any warnings of that in the handbook

Using this lead I can reset the lockouts and also cycle the FBH a few times during the warmer weather to maintain operation.

If it all goes to plan I will post a how to guide with pics, if it doesn't work you may not hear from me again as I have disappeared in a cloud of burning diesel  TDV8 now with extra grin factor thanks to Alive Tunning: Gone but not forgotten

Sounds good let us lnow

Yep I'm in the same boat. I've bought the cables from Martin and need to connect it all up. I'm going to make it so that the cables are connected to my OBD port so that I don't have to mess around in the engine bay every time I want to reset the FBH. Want to do a DIY job on your car?

Got up this morning mine FBH isnt working again going back to get it reset if these leads work does anyone fancy making one up for me as im too thick to do it myself

It's literally as simple as plugging a couple of wires into the back of a couple of connectors. Hardest thing is figuring out where to run the wires from the inside of the car to the FBH...does anyone have any suggestions? Want to do a DIY job on your car?

Obviously I haven't got the BAS unit or I wouldn't be in this situation but it does seem very popular with the D3 guys. The reset part is part of its operation if it senses any fault codes it resets them before firing up the fbh. BUT all the remote does is warm up the coolant in the engine block. You still need to start the motor up for the heater fans to come on, but at least you have instant heat when you do.

Fitting is basically three wires. + battery , - battery and w bus (terminal 2) connection at FBH. Exactly the same connections as the lead I will be making up TDV8 now with extra grin factor thanks to Alive Tunning: Gone but not forgotten
