Forgive my ignorance, but what is LZIR?

Cheers everyone - will get it all sorted out tomorrow. Thanks for the help!

I really appreciate all the help. I love my Rangie, but will admit to threatening to take a gallon of petrol and a match to her when she decided to do this - wife just out of hospital after surgery over Xmas, young daughter to ferry around and we need both of our cars running. Always the way, I...

Hi, is Autoland the Houghton Regis place? that would be awesome, as I am based in Ampthill - car was dumped opposite the police station there by the AA lorry (wouldn't go into the narrow town centre!). Got a number for them? Thanks so much for all the help guys! One thing is for sure, I...

Hi, I have sent you a PM. I work in London, which makes it so much fun as I am only around to fix the thing after 8pm or on the weekend. :)

Thanks, I think! :)

So, the consensus is that a Faultmate (or nanocom) might do the trick, a damn good battery charge and new fusebox are certainly probably a good thing and that I don't probably need a new BECM, which is all good. The question still remains - anyone know where I can find someone who can to the...

Hi, Thanks for the info, but I had already figured that the issue is the BECM is in "alarm triggered" state, so when the ECU asks if it is ok to start the engine, it's not getting the OK from the BECM, hence the need to clear the "alarm triggered" state. What caused it in the first place is...

Hi, My battery got low and freaked out the BECM - the car was running fine, but when I came to start it again a few minutes after stopping running, the key fob opened the car and the interior lights came on, but it would not turn the engine over. There is a click from under the passenger seat...

Wow, I appear to have opened a can of worms... So, short version is I am basically better off checking fluids, plugs, and maybe a de-coke or at least some injector cleaner and some new filters than spending money on new wheels...unless I missed something? Given the fact the previous owner...

On a related note, my rangie is currently wearing 16 inch alloys with stock size tyres. Does anyone know if switching to a set of 18 inch tornados or similar would improve the mpg any? I am wondering if there is a rolling resistance issue in play? I will also redex the engine and change out the...

I am getting about 14.7mpg on a 1995 4.6 hse but I just reset the ecu and sorting out a few electrical bugs and the tyre pressures should hopefully improve matters. It just bowled over to birmingham and back on under half a tank of fuel at motorway speeds but the short trips to the stables and...

Hmm it had a new alternator fitted recently, but I guess I can check it again. Thanks. Any other likely suspects?

Thanks for all the help. Resync sorted it. I do however have a new problem - new battery and disconnected BECM aerial and still getting overnight battery drain. I don't think it is the EAS Timer causing issues as the car maintains height. I also checked the fusebox and it is fine. Am lost! Any...

Resync tool on its way. Fingers crossed!

It was starting first time prior to the battery draining overnight. How can I jump it without risking frying something expensive?

Ok, agreed but that is a much more expensive option. Anyone in Bedfordshire got one they could rent/help me out with?

After the battery went flat (didn't disconnect the becm antenna quickly enough), my rangie decided that it would not turn the engine over - just a click from the relay on turning the key. Fusebox has been checked as have all connectors. I have also done the EKA thing and no joy. I was hoping...
