Mine is a 1999 model year dhse and like the others I love it. As Dave 4x4 says 1999my onwards have better electronic reliability, 4 wheel traction control amongst other refinements. 2000my better still. I also agree with Matt and BIGFUN, if you can't repair it yourself you could be into...

Afraid I don't know anything about fuel maps at all. I have used ZIF sockets when I built a few computers in the early days but now it is all laptops.......beyond me. My real connection with electronics is amateur radio, which is why I have the gear. When I did the dry joints on my classic...

Yes, thanks for the good advise Keith, I must admit that although I had been looking at the idea of using a professional outfit I hadn't considered the written warranty. I had looked at buying a secondhand ECU and sending that off but there don't seem to be any available at a reasonable price...

I had a PSI Powerbox and sold it on. I had decided when I bought the car I would have it re-chipped but could not afford the time off the road while they sent the ecu away. Powerbox for the P38 is £330 so quite a lot more than £90 for the L322! Dont honestly know which way to go really. The...

Thanks Dave and Datatek, I suspected that might be the case. If I do decide to go that way I will likely get it done professionally. Dave, I think the socket you are taking about is a zero insertion force (ZIF) socket.

Can anyone tell me if the ECU Chip is soldered or plugged in?

When you say 'Injector Light' do you mean the Glow Plug indication light, does the engine start? Have you checked the needle lift sensor cable from number 4 injector is properly connected and in good nick?. Is the multiplug clean? Not trying to teach me granny to suck eggs but you may not...

Hi Modelman, I dont know anything about Rovacom so can't really make a comparison between it and the Hawkeye. Hawkeye is a hand held unit that cannot be connected to/has no need of a computer so no speadsheets (what ifs etc) From what I have read on the forum I would think that Rovacom is...

If I park mine in a certain place on the drive (there is a little rise) all the EAS lights stay on. I know, so don't park it there! Anyway, put hawkeye on or Storey Wilsons software/laptop adn it comes up with the same thing. I suspect it is a rear height sensor problem. Other than that the...

Hi Rasheed, No, no progress really. Still only 5 members but I am hoping to see a few more joining. I notice that you haven't registered yet so best go to the group and register. I have sent PMs to anyone I could find on the forum who seem to have an interest in Hawkeye but have not managed...

Is the new thermostat OEM or aftermarket? I fitted a britpart one and had to replace it in the end for a BMW one. (I have used lots of Britpart stuff without problem) Also, the expansion tank pressure cap might be worth checking. Might you have an airlock? these are very difficult to avoid...

Hi Tim, I'm not sure there is a right way to do the b****sd. The double angled hook is quite difficult to get in and then into position as there is not much room to work. I found it best to open the window and shine torch down onto the latch so you can see how the cable is fitted. Getting...

Diesel torque converter is 260mm diameter and the 4.0 petrol is 280mm. Seems post 1999my 4.6 is the same as the 4.0 (see the attachment taken from rave)

Did mine last week, a right pain in the ......... I didn't remove the latch, lucky maybe. Anyway, I hope the attached picture helps. Firstly, lever the nylon clip off the right angled hook at the door handle end of the cable, the cable should then unclip and you should be able to pull the...

:doh: Yes, could be. I didn't see any numbers but there might well have been. thanks dogsbody.

No, display is fine. It has only happened the once. I thought it might be high/low range but I tried putting into low then back to high but it made no difference. I turned off the engine and went into the shop, came back, restarted and it was gone. Has not shown up again, just seemed...

Just reversed into a parking space and got the word 'Range' come up in the message centre. Anyone know what it means?:confused:

:doh: Should have been 2 different pictures. Here is the other one in case anyone wants it!:D

Here is some info I picked up on the internet, it is part of a very good write up by PaulP38A. Here is a link in case anyone wants to have a look.

I agree with JohnP38, removal of the blue wire is really a temporary solution. There are more and more users of the non licence pmr frequencies and they can cause a lot of problems from just waking up the BeCM and flattening the battery to scrambling the code altogether.
