I'm sure Irish will sort you out with a decent BECM and your Rangie will soon be back to normal again....remember NO MORE VALETING THE BECM OR WD40 near it!!!

And the grief goes on !!!! Got my becm back from mr irish , plugged it in and charged the battery fully . Everything back to working as should , windows , wipers , lights etc ... BUT now my problem is with ignition key on i dont get any engine lights on the dash at all , message gearbox fault shows , no central locking , no locking off the remote either , buttons on doors only open or lock door they are on . Tried key re sync etc , un plugged battery , pluged back on . No click from starter , only light click from becm .No lights on dash in box under speedo at all , check engine lights etc , not showing .Fuse box under bonnet visualy looks fine , relays fuses look fine , Also says odometer problem , buti am informe that will clear on start up and driving etc . So any bright ideas ?? PLEASE been off the road now for 4 weeks !!!!!

battery reads good on a tester , windows all go up and down at good speed withought interior lights dimming etc , so i guess i am thinking its ok . i have noticed that a swith on the dash is lit thatnever used to be , and it wont go out on depressing it . Is in th row of suspension switches , round circle with a chevron in it ... sort of ... i have coil springs fitted years ago with an eas overide modulefitted by the becm . It seems like it is immobilised in some form , all wires look ok no corrosion , key fobs not working , central locking not working , half dash lights not coming on at ignition turning , and reading gearbox fault , and transmission in neutral reading....

ave you checked the multi plugs that are behind the kick panels in the foot well, basically behind the trim that holds the bonnet pull, the harness behind there connects between the becm and the air con, instruments, ignition etc etc, it is another common problem of water leaking in from the pollen filter housing and straight onto the connector block and corrodes the connections, i have replace both sides on mine, a bit fiddley but vital for all the connections.

talked to irish for a couple of hours over today ,, i think he has given up with me .. bless him . I have just fitted his renewal becm , so should plug and play as told . Obviously it has cleared up 95% of my electrical previous problems , but not starting is pretty much as bad as it gets

I have just fitted a new under bonnet fuse box, it has cured a few other faults, there are about three different variations on the fuse box, i got mine from the dealer £148, excluding the relays, this was cheaper than any where else i could find and its a genine landrover part.
i was going to get a second hand one but you never know if it going to be wright, or on its way out.
the bonus of Landrover is i gave them the chassis number and he gave me the part number that it should be, they got it in two days.
