    TBH. If its a starter and only used in 12v systems you dont need anything fancy, they are cheap. I would say try to get 1 that "bleeps" on continuity checks (no volts just checking the wire) its not the the be all and end all the wire is "good"...

    How obvious would corrosion be on the BCU earth? The thing is surely if the BCU had a bad earth I would be experiencing other electrical issues a given it controls alot of other functions apart from the central locking? I need to test the...

    Ok thank you. Can I buy a cheaper diagnostic tool which will work to disable the immobiliser than the nanocom? Do I still need a new rf receiver is that correct? Aswell as turning off the immobiliser? Do you think it makes sense to buy a...

    The XYZ or starter inhbitor has nothing to do with your problem or with the fob's misbehaviour nor responding to the EKA code remobilisation, it's something else, probably BCU related but not subject of a guessing game without proper diagnoze...

    I read a post where you talk about the the xyz switch position and if the BCU doesnt receive input it can inhibit the starter relay. I dont have nanocom equipment and cant afford it either or cant justify spending another 400-500 on the car...

    Thank you for the information above. I will check with the 2nd fob. I wont be able to check that until Wednesday. Is it possible the M +S fault is connected to the key fob and starting issue?

    My concern is doing a half arsed job and trapping salt and moisture behind a partially sealed underbody and chassis and ultimately make it worse. Is it worth paying a pro to do this..? What should I expect to pay?
