OK - So - My P38 has been suffering from battery drain following British Gas installing hundreds of Smart Meters in our area :-( - I did some searches on here and discovered that if I cut the purple wire to the RF receiver I would have a temporary fix until Island 4x4 had fresh stocks of Gen 2 RF receivers in stock.
So, I cut the wire and then the car wouldn't start , Put the key in and everything on the dash lights up, but the engine wont crank.
Popped down to Rogers to see advice from them, and they advised reconnecting the wire, and taking it down for resynching.
Got the car down to Rogers, they then couldn't get their AutoLogic to talk to the car, they could get in to the EAS, but not the BECM. They took a closer look and said that the fusebox had blown and advised that I get another one, Saying that they thought it would solve all of my problems.
New fusebox arrives, and is plugged in. Turn the key and still the same old problem, Then Island 4x4 call to say that they have the new RF's in stock so I order one of those. That arrived last week and has been fitted today, but still in the same position, except that upon turning the key I'm now told that I have an airbag and an ABS fault....
Any ideas please? What do I do next??.....Really frustrated as it's got a full tank of petrol, and of gas, but I cant drive it!!
All advice gratefully received.....
