Main fuse box left hand side engine bay behind battery, there are others! Other main one is under the drivers seat - There’s a panel as you look at it. No tools necessary. General consensus is with fusebox ‘not broke don’t touch, is broke 1st thing to check’

Ignore the relay I’m pointing to, was for someone else. A3C4619F-CA4A-47CD-B107-D6746CD7A90C.jpeg9033757A-E44D-41A4-A6F3-10798D55DFDF.jpeg
 
Jesus wept! Look at all them relays!:eek:
So is 11 under bonnet or seat?
Can't quite see the writing on the pointy finger pic.

Just tow it out to a good place for the loading. Even 50 yrds up the road wont hurt:).



Fuse box underbonnet is huge you cant miss it think it even says fuses on the top:D also 1 under driver seat. no tools needed for either.

Not sure where the 11 is. Never used/needed It. But would find it if I had too;):D

But we will require pics of said sexcapade:eek:.

Fuse 11 is in the fuse box at the side of the drivers seat.
 
Ta.
Just ordered one, got the new battery ordered and the chance of a new unused nanocom less than 20miles away.
Don't know how much yet, spares guy at my local indy knows someone who got one fairly recently for the diesel but then had the car wrote off in a side swipe by a lorry. Indy guy says he has his number somewhere and will ring him to ask for me.
 
They gave me a voucher regulator cost me £3 :cool:

Easy to change there’s plenty of room in there. My alternator isn’t exactly pristine but always pushes out over 14 now. 1ACDE50A-5B5E-4F21-AFE8-D0F0AED9544D.jpeg
It will still discharge over time though. Most p38 owners have trickle chargers/solar panel on back shelf.
You know about the RF unit conundrum?
 
Oh...theres a unit in the rear back shelf (drivers side). It uses a frequency that nowadays gets set off by WiFi things and wakes up your becm alarm checks. Dongles, doorbells everything like that causes your alarm to constantly wake up do its checks which runs the battery down. There’s alot of ways around it. My personal choice is to pull the blue cable to the RF box and tape it up so it can’t get a signal. Downside is fob only works standing close to the vehicle, but if it kills the battery what good is a fob that works 20yrds away but only when vehicle has charge o_O
Your vehicle may already have something configured. If you are lucky it will have the extra expensive fixed version they made after they moved on to L322s.
Do not buy different colour dot RF boxes online! None of them really work and people put different colour stickers on them etc they ain’t worth nothing
