Age of car ! miles on car ! age of battery ! did you hold those battery leads together for 10 minutes? Have you got a second earth lead ? Gen 3 or Gen 4 Haldex ? Button type switch or press type switch ?

probably doesn't have the extra earth lead, normally retro fitted from the -ve terminal to the starter motor or gearbox earth point.

Being in the Midlands if you get no further on here go and speak too and find Austen at Bell Engineering. He is the guru with all things Haldex and will be fair on price if it need repairs.

Hi... for what it’s worth, my SD4 Metropolis just did the same thing after ‘the beast etc”. I just flicked through the special settings a few times - back and forth, re-starting the engine each time and after a few goes, it’s back to normal.

Shorting the battery cables together to drain out any residual electrical energy is bad practice. It's dangerous as the sudden discharged current can damage to electronics. Hence the spark. All you need to do is disconnect the battery and the power in the car will be used up quickly within seconds. The risk of damaging yer car is significantly reduced this way and has the same effect.

Hey Bob how many miles had your FL done when you had the Haldex serviced? did it need doing or was it a peventative measure? Deciding if i should have mine serviced at 42k (2014my) - just in case? |

As far as LR is concerned the Haldex is sealed for life!

Purely preventative but the dealers never stopped it grabbing quite often when in warranty.
