So, I purchased the Gap IID tool and have updated the transmission software.. still getting the "suspension fault traction compromised" warning (bu no fault codes showing up on the tool, and function seems to be normal). Also, I can't access the special programs (terrain response), which I assume is related. I tried a hard reset, all to no avail. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

A good dealer would service your car. I had a pretty good relationship with mine (still do I imagine, just don't spend money at the service center as much with even older cars).

As far as I would know, I bet they would service even a rest of world 110 or my 95 disco, but I understand their feeling like what if they break something as they try to fix something else? I used to have a 2006 LR3 dealer serviced for a lot of big ticket stuff, never had an issue with them taking it.

I've worked on all four of my Discovery ll's...and l can truly understand "why" they wouldn't want to do it...lol.

Good luck, with your issue.

Update: So, I took ArmyRover's advice and bought the Gap tool, and was able to get everything sorted out (after replacing the Arnott compreessor which was under warranty). Updated all ECU's, diagnosed purge valve issue, and even programmed a new key! It's a great tool and the customer service and user manual is also excellent. Thanks to all for the advice. Happy to have a (for now) well sorted LR.

My dealer is awesome. Sorry its not the same for you. Just got a new engine, turbo and some suspension bits on a 2014 LR2... pro bono.
