The plot thickens. I finally got access to the Range Rover Sport again. Turns out it is a 2006, not a 2007 as listed (I believe it was an honest error). The dead rats, nests and most of the rat poop is gone, serv-pro cleaned it up, well most of it. Did I mention that I hate rats.....Smells less, but still smells, my wife wouldn't ride in it at this point. I haven't done the ozone machine yet.
I took a new battery to check codes and what systems I could. Surprisingly, it still had codes stored. It also showed some faults, suspension fault, parking brake fault and neutral fault. Gear indicator on the dash showed E. When I plugged the scanner plug in, a few turds dropped from behind the kick panel cover.....yuck, I hate rats....Codes were U0155, U0101, U0121, P0500, P0198, P0071 and P0851. The hood/bonnet switches had been removed so the truck thought that the bonnet was open. Thus, the suspension wouldn't function. It is totally bottomed out. I am wondering if the codes were a result of a battery issue, some wiring issues as a result of the collision (less likely) or maybe the resident rats have been chewing on some wires.........most likely cause. Truck wouldn't turn over at all, nothing, probably a result of the bonnet issue or the parking brake faults? Any ideas? How hard is it to track down and fix bite marks caused by delinquent rodents? My enthusiasm for this vehicle is waning... On the positive side of things, I did find that it only has 15k miles looks like the collision happened right after the last service......Ideas? Anybody? Bueller, Bueller? thanks Phil
