hey guys. i have the rr at a local mechanic who does know what he is doing so i feel better and he is working with me to get it right. i know he has a "rovercom" and i think when i let him know bout the becm as the real problem he can get it worked out. he already checked out the engine fuse box and it was fine. so i will hope that monday it will all get righted. i will send a shout to irishrover and talk to him bout it as well. sadly i live in the u.s. on the outer banks of north carolina so i am limited by the available individuals that can take care of the problem. btw you guys rock.
