ha... tempting :) I'll just stick a cable tie round the connector on the top - I used the "proper" bit for the coil, as I definitely don't want that dropping off... :/

as an "aside"... When removing the connector from one of the coils, I accidentally "fired" the metal lock wire thing *Somewhere*. Despite searching, I can't find it.... I've "borrowed" one from the idle valve (I think - the one right on the top of the engine!) connector - but... does anyone know...

ha... no! :) The coil packs behind the engine where you need to dismantle half the engine, and then have to have tiny hands with joints in odd places to get to the bolts! Fingers crossed. Seems to have had the odd misfire reported since, but not the continuous stream like before :/

Touch wood, it seems that all the ABS/Suspension/Dash faults were cured by cleaning the connector in the door pillar, and (hopefully) curing the leak round the scuttle air intakes. I've spent today replacing coils to hopefully cure a misfire! It's all fun and games... Rich

oh right - that is odd then. It's not throwing any fault codes at the moment though! I might just change it anyway to be on the safe side... I'll look into changing it, and see what happens when I clean the connector properly! Rich

Thanks! I hadn't spotted that... I've just been out and checked (ignition on, engine off). They both start out closed, then as I slowly push the brake pedal switch one goes open as the lights come on, then a bit further switch 2 goes open... So they do both change - just not in the same way as...

I think the fault was "just" a corroded connector - all the faults have gone, but the dash is still rebooting... i'll have another clean! Out of interest though, which are the two fields in the nanocom live data? I can see "footbrake" which switches when I put my foot on the brake, and "cruise...

Thanks - I hadn't found that bit! I'll have to have another rummage through it all in the morning... Rich

Here we go again! Further to my thread about the BECM (thanks for all the replies!) we "sorted" that and got a new battery, but that went flat last week after not been used for a few days.... So we relented and bought the YWY500170 (Turns out it had already been upgraded to the "interim" one)...

Yes - that's my thoughts... hopefully it won't come to that thought!!!

Thanks! I think hat's just what i needed to hear. I'll look into getting the Nanocom...

Ah! Thanks for the confirmation. So it it did need "unlocking" it would be something far more "serious"... So am I right (ha!) in thinking that the "Faultmate MSV-2 extreme", the "Nanocom Evolution" and the "Bearmach Hawkeye" would all do what we require now (and in the future?), and all can be...

Oh thanks - I hadn't seen that one, I think! Would "The Nanocom Evolution does not have the ability to unlock the BeCM." be an issue at all? :/ I've no idea whether it needs to be "unlocked" or "unalarmed" to do this.... Rich

I've just been pointed this-a-way by some helpful people on the Series 2 club forum, so, here goes :) We've got a 2002 P38, 4.6l petrol auto. In london last weekend we suffered a nearly-flat battery (due to the wifi issue, I think - it doesn't seem to suffer at home! Must get round to upgrading...

it certainly wont fit my 1/2" drive sockets, so i'm going to need something new... Not sure if I have any smaller ones, currently!

Going to attempt the rocker covers soon (leaking a bit...) and assuming we can remove all the gubbins on top, I don't seem to have a suitable socket in my collection. I presume they are "bi-hex"/"triple square"/XZN or whatever they are called? But they look like the socket needs to be quite...

Ours is the same - grey steering wheel, lightstone (but worn!) gearlever and handbrake.

Is this the one you refer to? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Range-Rover-Generation-Crowood-AutoClassic/dp/1861266235/ref=sr_1_5 Might have to keep my eyes open. Think I have a few of his about Series Landys already... Rich

You have to wonder why they bothered! :) :)

That's brilliant! Thanks - and yes, it's a 2002 Vogue SE. I wonder how it ended up with green trim... There's no sign of any walnut anywhere currently! I might have to buy the book.... Rich
