    P38 BeCM Testing or repair

    i would never go to a range rover main dealer,their prices scare the crap out of me. there's more than enough experts on here, who will tell you how to fix it (even if you haven't a clue what they're talking about,they'll explain it) or point you in the right direction.

    4 spline bolts and the seats out. 3 or 4 x 10mm nuts to get the becm out.i found it best to take digital photos of all 4 sides as there's pin plugs all round it,and earth wires.so its easy to re install.
