(Sorry about the old thread revival - but useful info discovered) With MkIV head/software when you get to ‘Camera Alerts’ - there are three boxes: on, off and a blank one. If you click on the blank one it goes to language options (only GB, French and German on mine). Camera alerts have to be on...

Hi Mozz - key fob sync problems with my p38 /98/diesel. Have tried all methods, but no luck so far. Your lock/unlock method and then into ignition position 2 - I get continuous flashing led on fob. How long should you have to wait? Have tied up to three minutes... Anyway - your advice gladly...

Hi Rick - any advice on a decent remapper for my P38 diesel auto (1998 pre-egr)? I have Jeremy Fearn and Eric Turner on my list... The latter did my BeCM some years ago (or maybe you did?!) and despite mixed reviews, was quick and professional at resolving my problems. Wammers suggested I run...

I'll dust off the old steel toe-cap Doc's in the back of my cupboard! Cheaper than a Porsche...

We are drifting off topic here a little, however its become an intersting conversation so will continue! I do have a PSI Powerbox - which I took off before all of the above diagnostics whilst looking for the 'miss'. It is really nice, plenty of 2200-3500 action but makes little (if any)...

Matt - Did mine only a few weeks ago... but my doughnut (Guibo joint) is on the back of the transfer box with a regular universal on the diff end. (P38 diesel Auto 1998) with no twisting. It looks like somebody has put the thing together the wrong way round in the past. Have you got a universal...

To quote: yes, you are quite right again dear Wammers! Despite many conversations on this forum - do you have a 'preferred supplier' for remapping? My ECU is the early one which needs a new 'socket' soldering onto it for a chip to be put into.

Grrrrr.... Thank you for your time to view the data and pass on your opinion - which along with the help of Wammers and N2O has caused me to simply deal with the duff injector and leave the pump alone. I will look at a remap to get the lowdown torque improved.

Your honesty is appreciated Wammers! I will be dealing with the 'miss' in the coming days (when the 27mm deep socket for the injectors arrives) and will then look again at the fuel quantitiy readings.

Pump idle setting is at 128 (as is standard I beleive) Pump has not been opened since I've owned it and the tamper-proof bolt is still in place and un-damaged. I have got the correct tool and a gasket/seal set if it leaks and am aware of the alignment of the rod to collar when refitting (if I...

Wammers - thanks for your input and I hear what you are saying about the pump adjusting it'self to supply the correct fuel for the 750 idle speed. The reason I am curious about adjusting the Fuel Quantity at idle is partly led by N2O's observation that a lower reading on the Nanaocom (giving...

Grrrrr - here are the traces done, about two minutes each after a 20 minute drive, all nice and warm, vehichle in Park, no throttle application - with no misfire (that occurs only when partially warmed). 4 files: Fuel with and without AC, Swtiches and General (both with AC). Don't know if any of...

Warnings noted N2O! Will look at it next week (waiting for warmer weather!)

Thanks Wammers - re: miss, I have a spare head with all of the injectors in it - will fiddle! Re: fuel quantity (at idle) - would changing it from 10mg/stroke down to say 5mg/str on pump top make any difference to the initial pull off? It's an auto and has always felt pretty lifeless as it...

Mpg reading is only a little lower than brim to brim calculation like 22 indicated and 24-25 actual, but an improvement in initial pull off would be welcome. Is there a specific fuel qty setting? All comments I've seen say 'about this' or 'this should work'! Most point to the range 4-5.5 though...

Thanks for your comments N20 - however the air temp readings all look to be good - it's the fuel and water temps that seem way too low on initial start up. Your earlier comment re: injector - would that not cause a miss all the time? ...and as for the responsiveness - I've always found the...

I will try and do a trace over the weekend (have not tried that before and use a Mac so who knows what will happen!). Mine is the older non-egr engine. What specifically are you looking for on the trace?

Hi all - my first post - though have fixed a myriad of problems on my P38 diesel auto (1998, 190k) from the collective knowledge in this forum - particularly Wammers and Datatech - over the past three years. Here is the problem - occasional cold idle 'missfire' with associated white smoke. The...
