Had ecu re sync . . . again, 2nd time in a week

I've got a better idea, take battery off, give it a good charge, then fix the problem, put it all back together, enter codes, and away you go, simples.

Disconnected battery, all quiet on the Burnley front, for now.

So there's been a car alarm going off all day since 7.30am, looked out the window and couldn't see any lights flashing to identify the culprit, so i just took to cursing the bufoon that owns the offending vehicle, hoping that they eventually shut it up. Yep, that's right, it's mine, noticed the...

Does anyone know anything about the maxiscan and/or Sealey code reader, can it be used to re sync Thor P38's? If not, what are they actually used for? Cheers and happy new year to you all.

Update!!! Got the sod going, as J the Range and Hooded Claw said, it needed a re sync, someones remote device knocked the codes out, rendering it immobilised, never thought they could be this vulnerable, never a dull moment with P38's, Tell you one thing though, getting back in it after not...

It's fine J, got the old Beemer to jump in if i need to, just don't like putting miles on it, especially in this weather.

got someone that might be able to do it tomorrow, failing that, J said he'll be over this way on 4th Jan, and he'll do it for me, top man, couldn't have happened at a worse time.

update, been told it could have been immobilised by neighbors remote central heating or some other remote device, never knew these P38's were that tempermental.

The usb has to have it's own driver, having the same problem myself

Let me just think about that for a second . . . Errrmmmm, NO.

Update!!!! So the AA came out, couldn't sus it, couldn't read the codes coz his reader only works on vehicles 2001 onwards, "mine's 2001 Y plate", Ahem!! anyway, he thought it could be coil pack, does that sound possible? not getting any spark, but fuel is getting through fine, but now you say...

I'm in Burnley, think may hava a way around it, my Dad's in The AA, so getting the 4th emergency service out, let you know how it goes, thanks guys, by the way, hope everyone's having a lovely christmas.

Worked fine yesterday, got in this morning to start, turning over fine, just won't fire, could it be the cold or damp in ignition system?

Merry Christmas!!! that's a bit better than the joker from this morning, it's a bit out of order really, you expect a good deal off the independents, thanks for that, it's a big help.
