Stripped and repaired tailgate switch using wire coat hanger to make new spring. Thanks for all the info on here on that. Also put new battery on from battery megastore. Think it was Datatek that pointed me to the beast of a battery. Hankook 115AH 1000CCA £100 delivered. Starts first click now...

I got the suede from a place in salford. Cost me 17 quid. If you have a garage or somewhere to do it, it is fairly easy. Cleaning the old glue etc off is the worst bit.

The doors are all unlocked.

Hi guys. Been using eka as fob broke but door lock wont lock or unlock so cant enter eka.now. Cant even lock car. Stuck in macdonalds car park. Please help

Cheers mozz Have just had it oit and got up to temp. Still no leaks so left it idling and seems fine. Fingers crossed it was me not tightening the l8d properly. Will check again at weekend and keep you posted

Hi guys Engine got way too hot the other day. stopped and topped up coolant when cooled down. So far seems ok. I topped it up last week. Is it possible to loose a couple of litres of water by not tightening the lid on the expansion bottle enough? Its probably a daft question but i cant see any...

Cheers guys The rf is disconnected but rhat was years ago. Was working fine until it went for some work at a garage. When they told me it wouldnt work i went and changed the fob batteries and its been like this since. My worry is that as i cant afford a new fob, that i will wear the micro...

Hi all. Would you be able to use the eka code and start the engine without batteries in the fob? I know its a strange question but i have to use the eka code every time i use the car. The led on the fob lights up when you press the buttons but will not unlock the doors. I want to take the fob...

Hi all. Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to Mozz. Yesterday I was having trouble with my p38 and the fob and eka code and gave Mozz a call. He was so helpful and patient that I am now back on the road. So now my tip. Whatever you are doing on your car, read all you can first but...

Hi moz. Having trouble with fob again. Stuck at the quays. Do you lock the door before entering the eka code or start the procedure from unlocked? Cheers

New it was wishful thinking. Unlocked doors and engine disabled again. Very weird and confusing.

I disconnected the rf over a year ago.Following instructions on here, I disconnected 1 wire which I thought was the amplifier as it was flattening the battery but this only started a week ago. This morning I unlocked the doors with fob, no problems. Went to start and had to press fob to enable...

Sorry, it is a 99 model. I have already disconnected the rf amplifier and it happens everywhere I go. What I don't understand is, if it is opening the doors would that not mean it is synced? so why would it un sync in the time it takes to get in the car and turn the ignition? It always locks...

No delay usually. Open up, get in and start.

OK. After going cross eyed reading posts on key fobs and eka problems I can't find any answers for my scenario. Basically, the fob will unlock the doors but then I get engine disabled when trying to start. Press fob whilst in ignition and car starts. This is happening 2 out of 3 times. Is the...

No. It's not leaning that much. Very puzzled why it just came back. If I had hit something or drove up onto a kerb iconic understand. Back to my original guess. Wheel hub bearings? Could the leaning cause them to grate?

Used the car for a few trips without noises etc then today, set of to my workshop and the noises are back. Didn't do anything different on previous trip, parked in same spot too. But, I noticed that the passenger side rear was higher than drivers side! Could this possibly cause the noises, ie...

Noise went today, vcu was done couple of months ago. No noticeable leaks.

Had diff replaced 18 months ago so haven't checked that and had vcu done couple of months ago and guy said transfer box ok and topped oil up.

I posted some time ago about a grumbling noise from the rear(cue the jokes) which i suspected to be the diff, and in another post about a knocking noise when on bumpy/uneven ground, suspected hub bearings/bushes. So, as i haven't used the car much, nor had the chance to investigate, i decided...
