Thanks for reply I ended up losing reverse gear while engine was running can only get it when I turn engine off so it goes garage on monday.

I can't remember fully if ECU is from a late model (2001) would a syncmate be able do it or would it have to be selected in the BCM

When the BECM blew on my first p38 I bought another and it came with a ECU and what they just fitted to this car I can't remember what year they said it was from

Don't no what system they used. Sorry I'm still a newbie I thought if they coded ECU to the bcm that it was synced. So it could still be out of sync

While it was at auto leccys they did a full diagnostic didn't find any faults.

Well in a last ditch attempt I sent it to auto electrician. They fitted spare ECU and coded it to bcm and bled fuel system still no joy it tries to start but wont. They told me the send it to diesel specialist to check fip so it's going on eBay I've had enuff going back to a discovery. Thanks...

Didn't think so but worth a try.

Yes should have put that in its a 97 p38 DSE

I have posted on a beg or borrow mission still hopefull.
