    HELP!! P38 won't start after attempted theft

    I discussed it with the dog earlier, he wasn't much help but he looked like he was paying more attention than the missuz. Anyway, i was speaking to a colleague about this, who suggested checking the fuel pump, he says if it has a pressure switch / sensor on the rail it most probably won't fire...

    HELP!! P38 won't start after attempted theft

    This is what i was thinking, but a bit more digging is casting doubt into my mind... people are saying that when GEMS is talking to the BECM the check engine light comes on at key on, which mine does.... Does this mean GEMS is talking to the BECM? I think i've figured out what the B really...

    HELP!! P38 won't start after attempted theft

    They do indeed, i've just been doing some reading on the matter... There's a tool available costing about £100 (BECM sync mate).. I'm considering an investment - but apparently the ECM stores a couple of fault codes indicating out of sync if this is the problem, I do have a code reader - just...

    HELP!! P38 won't start after attempted theft

The dash flashes various windows not set alarms and an airbag fault (Already diagnosed this, there's a short...

    HELP!! P38 won't start after attempted theft

    There isn't one, the 95 P38's weren't fitted with this feature - assuming you mean the exciter ring which asks the key for it's code before allowing the vehicle to start.. On 95 P38's there is just a key in detection switch, which is literally just a switch (The old barrel was smashed to bits...

    Just to add, this is a 95 RRP38... No passive immobilisation, just a key in detection switch

    HELP!! P38 won't start after attempted theft

    How? The columns have a fairly standard key switch - the rest of the electrics were just swapped from the old to new column, the key blades can be swapped meaning the old remote will fit the new barrel..... From what I can make out there's no way the BECM should know the column's been...

    HELP!! P38 won't start after attempted theft

    Firstly, hello! I'm new to this forum and landrovers.. I'm hoping some of you guys can shed a little light on my mystery.... The story is.. This landie was an attempted theft, it has a gas conversion and has not ran on petrol for some time (The prev owner suggested a suspected fuel pump issue)...
