An up date : Once again thanks for the replies. I have had the fault traced and fixed now. It was a fault between the pcb layers on the BCU beneath some of the components. The BCU was receiving commands but not passing them through to the IDM for action but now all is good thanks to Rick at...

Hi Sierra - Thanks for taking the time to reply mate :) The link is there and ok as far as I can tell but the IDM is not responding to some commands from the BCU or the commands are not being generated by the BCU for switching on the front and rear fog lamps and the heated rear window. All the...

hi all - I don’t suppose anyone has a scope trace of a healthy BCU to IDM serial link they could share or a description of what it should look like? Mine appears to be erratic - I cannot seem to capture a clean trace with a normal serial trace. This might be me not being used to a new pc based...

I guess it must be healthy as the immobiliser is functional, the mileage is not flashing nor is there the crossed B in the display but it would be good to see the waveform change when a command is active (or not I suppose to further aid diagnosis).

Well I have worked my way through pretty well all the circuits and I still have the same faults. If it is not raining over the next few nights I will false feed the earth paths to see if it looks like the internal solid state switches have failed in the BCU & IDM. I will also put a scope on the...

Many thanks guys, and yes, it did find it very helpful. Header now located and appears to be in good condition - now working my way through the circuits to see if there is any untoward resistance to the earth blades on the BCU and IDM plugs. Cheers, Matt

Hi all, I am having a few issues that I am trying to trace down and I could do with a little help from those who have probably had similar issues if anyone could lend me 5 mins of their time? Briefly these issues are; Heated rear screen will not switch on Both front and rear fog lights will not...

I always used to use black power gun oil such as Youngs 303 - made for the job.

There is plenty of info just recently on this - do a search for my user name as I put a bit in about it

Hi Ferry - I think you may well have over estimated the fan motor power requirements at 1kW. You are right though with the air flow requirements - an electric fan should shift the same amount of air over the same surface area as the standard fan to be a direct replacement. What most people...

Reading in LRO this month Aldi has a hand held boroscope for £39.99 with free delivery. Just about to order it when I thought I should have a look what else is on the market (I don't have a need right now for it but...). Plenty on USB and Micro USB boroscopes for PC or Android phones/tablets for...

Essentially all the centre - Not sure if I even looked for links but I am sure if you search for heater control panel removal (as this was the trickiest bit) would be a start. There are quite a few screws to remove - revealed when you take out the ash try and coin trays, remove the cup holder...

I took the dash centre out so that I could weave all the wires and boxes in - it was a close run thing to cut the looms and shorten/lengthen to fit more easily but it did all gut eventually.

If you want it simple just buy the bits from Incartec as per my link above - plug it all together - job done

Apart from the good stuff already said do the things that most people can't be bothered with so consequently always deteriorates such as ACE block filter (if fitted) ACE fluid change (if fitted) Power steering fluid change Brake fluid change Air con (if fitted) service Coolant flush and change...

I think that the methodology of working out consumption has been pretty well nailed - any news on why you are getting your ****poor economy? :)

You will not need the sub out adapter and possibly not the antenna converter but you will need the amp output to HK input adapter, Kenwood to steering wheel adapter lead and the steering wheel control adapter box. I have u sed these and they work perfectly (including the dash spacer bar in-fill...
