Had the P38 end of September and almost immedialely had alarm issues, lighting all indicators overnight, killing battery, eventually burning out both front door C/Lmotors. (Blue aerial wire disconnected from RF unit)
Garage had it back several times, replaced both motors and replaced drivers door mechanism - coded to car, took two weeks!
Having been reunited for about the fifth time, it went again, burning out C/L motors again, and Garage diagnosed BECM at fault.
After much to-and fro-ing, and being let down by their source, I got through to Irishrover; he got hold of a unit, checked it over, came down and fitted/coded it.........all in a couple of days!!!
Garage now happy BECM sorted thus ordered a new pair of motors.
I should add at this point, that we had been using the Range since a week before Christmas, until this week, albeit having to lock/unlock manually with C/L motors nakad, but with NO alarm issues at all
The new C/L motors were fitted Tuesday, then that night, no, 4am Wednesday morning, the damn thing lights all indicators again ffs!!!
Unlocked/locked it then ok rest of the night. Used it yesterday, parked on drive for the night and , yep sure as eggs is eggs fekin thing goes hell-mad at 02.15 today. Unlocked/locked, then all hell loose again 02.30.
Went out this time, opened, and started it, NO Alarm Triggered message!!!!!!!
Spoke with Eightinavee and Irish this afternoon; both concur 99% odds-on that the RF unit is shot, waking or partially waking BECM, and having caused all the problems encountered to date.
Car back at Garage as of an hour ago, their techy not so convinced, reckoning wiring/corroded/poor connection somewhere........yeah right, don't wanna spend £161.79 + vat on new RF unit!!!!
My betting is that they spend a day or two cheking all wiring etc, I get it back and it fecks up again, THEN they spend on new RF...........we shall see!!
