why is it its always a month out of warrenty when anything expensive foooks its self.

Lucky you mine has had the number removed by some helpful person in the past. :frusty:

You also need to know if you have key 1 or 2. My local stealers couldnt help, so i still have only 1 key. you should be able to tell from button colours.

you may loose info like fuel consumption, but all milage info etc is held in bcem module

Yep id let him have it back. sounds like a Becm problem. If bodged you will have alsorts of issues in the future.

I used black liquid shoe polish on mine, it was pretty grotty gery looking, now nice and black. Its lasted over a year. Nice low cost solution.

having just had to prime my system, falling fuel run out. They do self prime, but it took 2 battery charges to do it.

Hi yes did put the fuse in no11 before towing, that was one reason I dropped everything at work before some sod tried doing it not knowing. She stopped right on a road that was a being resufaced that morning. After 2 batteries and a lot of cranking plus 10ltrs of fuel in the tank it fired...

Ohh bugger the wife rang me today cars just stopped. Now says Gearbox fault. Wont do anything. She managed to run it out of fuel. so have towed it back home, put some fuel in, and put battery on charge as she had managed to flaten that as well. Can someone tell where on the P38 I need to...

Like all cold power sucks, mines an auto so it too needs time to warm up. I have a power chip on that makes it tollerable. Also fitted a hot start fix relay. This one is live for 30 secnds after turn on. still takes 2 heats on the plugs to have first flick starting though. Plus fitted new glow...

Your ABS pump motor isnt running, check the fuses for it. If they are ok, then could be knackered

Sounds Like your ABS is a t fault, it may not be pressurising the accumalator. Does the motor run when you first turn the key?

It could be you have 2 keys of the same number i.e. two number ones. I only have one key for my P38, the local stealers couldnt identify which it was and told me that if I got the wrong one then I still would only have one key working, when you resynch one it cancels the other.

All the doors need to be unlocked before you start entering the EKA code. Also the indiactor lights should flash as you enter the EKA code. If you make amistake when entering, just open and close the drivers door. This allows you to restart the sequence. It is a frustrating exersize I have to...

The main dealer will gove you those free of charge. (The only thing they will do) if you was say 4533. then after 4 locks, you do 4 unlocks, 5 locks, 3 unlocks, 3 locks, then finally 1 unlock whilst pressing the unlock on the remote. the 4 digit number is the EKA code. Sounds like you bought...

Yep mad as a hatter

Hi unfortunatley he gave you some bad advice. You need to enter the EKA code and resynch the key to the car. In disconecting the neg lead the BECM has lost synch. You should have a 4 digit code called an EKA code. to enter it you need to make sure all doors and boot and bonnet are closed...

Back to the original problem. You will need to charge the battery, then, enter the eka code, and resynch the fob. Then open the car on the fob to disable the engine lock out. It locked out due to being opened on the key, and you attempting to start with an unsynched key.

Sorted, Fuse no1 had blown.. phewwwww. :)

Can anybody give some advice, all the instruments and warning lights on my 1996 P38 DSE have suddenley stopped working. So no speedo, rev counter, fuel gauge etc etc. Any clues as to what this might be?
