Coolios :)

Maybe worth a sticky, the fact the old BeCM i was gifted had exactly the same fault as mine i would think may mean others have as well, maybe?

I removed my viscous fan a good 3 years ago and had no issues till this year, the issue was to do with the aircon, when stationary and the engine not hot enough for the fan to be running the aircon evaporator has no airflow and struggles to cool the refrigerant inside, even with the aircon fans...

I not been on here for ages but thought other P38 owners may be have the same fault with there BeCM affecting the sunroof as me, and its fixable without replacement of BeCM My sunroof packed up in December 2005 stuttered and died when opening and not worked since, i swapped out switch pack and...

I have had same fault! would cold start fine on petrol, then go over to gas when warm just fine and drive ok but hot starting was impossible, it was almost impossible to get the engine to rev high enough to get it onto gas! So the problem was running hot on petrol, it was the connections to...

I had similar, although it didnt want to even start on petrol, gas was fine, worked out after someone quoted me £200 labour to fit new injectors @ £134 each i looked into it myself and found the connections at the afm to be bad, cleaned them up and that was that, cured!! Dam ripp off garages!!

The switch for the interior light is on the door lock mechanism in the door, its probably just a defective switch in the door that the message centre is reporting to be open!

Hows the heater temp?

I know of this!! i have lpg and the coolant was taken from a pair of tees in the heater pipes and then run over the rear of the plenum to the lpg vaporiser, a stupid idea i though AND it looked horrible! A drop in coolant due to losses would result in the lpg system not working as the...

YES! The foam seal around the covers goes hard and/or the covers tend to go out of shape and when in heavy rain or being washed water will leak in through them, run a beed of silicon over the top joint of where cover meets panel from one side to the other then smooth your finger over it to...

I cant find a code 27! thought they all P****? ie P0130, O2 Sensor Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 1)

No, the SRS stays lit getting brighter and dimmer, brighter and dimmer!

Hmm! never thought of that :D I recieved the instrument cluster in the post today, so well packaged, i swaped the temp gauges over and its all fine..."air bag fault" warning in message centre can be silenced by pressing trip meter button.... Ebay shop "Parts range" can be highly recomended...
