Also ordered AllComms in the meantime. RR is a keeper, need to wrap my head around it.
Battery Megastore MF31-1000. check the dimensions, it should fit but a tight squeeze.Will do more measurements tomorrow. But as for the battery - which brand and capacity would gurus recommend?
Ours has been running a Bosch S5 A15 for 4 yrs now and has been fine.Will do more measurements tomorrow. But as for the battery - which brand and capacity would gurus recommend?
Then it has fixing issues.Battery Megastore MF31-1000. check the dimensions, it should fit but a tight squeeze.
I will not touch Varta, I found that they do not work well in cold weather, the new Varta I got for my Transit was fine all summer but useless in winter. The project P38 I bought had a new Varta fitted when I went to collect it, same applied. That battery is now fitted to my 2 cylinder 13HP micro tractor and it will not even start that unless it's kept on a solar charger in winter. The Transit battery now lives in our polytunnel on permanent solar charge and drives a 12 volt pump for watering.I purchased a
533107 Silver 020 12V Car Battery 5 Year Guarantee 110AH 920CCA 0/1 B13 By Varta form ebay, they are currently listed at £144
I believe Datatek suggested an even better deal but cannot remember the details, perhaps he might put them up for you, but he will agree that the L322 needs at least 110 Ah, NOT the 95 Ah RR originally advised in the handbook because that was just for the 'basic' Rangey, any upgraded model like the vogue needs the extra ampage to power all the bells and whistles like TV screen and other 'advanced' features that consume huge amounts of power, especially on start up.
I mean EMS ECU gets power on the wires (measurable) yet still refuses to start. Left it on a charger overnight, will check in a couple of hours… I’m lost.So I went and bought a brand new Bosch S5 015 110Ah/920A. Zilch. Nada. Niente.
EMS ECU gets its power. No fuses are blown anywhere. What the actual heck…
Oh, I'm sorry, I completely missed this. How would ignition switch affect engine management ECU? I mean... if the steering column lock unlocks - I'd assume the ignition switch is ok? Or is this a false assumption?Have you checked the ignition switch?
The contacts in the ignition switch erode and become high resistance, this affect different systems to a greater or lesser extent. The fact that the steering unlocks does not IMO meant the switch is good.Oh, I'm sorry, I completely missed this. How would ignition switch affect engine management ECU?

That's my current way of thinking indeed. Since ECU was cloned, it probably has some old values, but I reset adaptations on Engine, Trans and all over the place I could find and consider relevant.. Will see indeed what happens when I drive it for a while.Good news .
Maybe the "new" ECU has stored values, maybe a bit of running will average them out and things will be fine.
There are adaptive settings in most ECUs, you could look for that and reset so it would relearn, which would take some driving, or just drive it if its fine and it will relearn anyway.

Ah ok.That's my current way of thinking indeed. Since ECU was cloned, it probably has some old values, but I reset adaptations on Engine, Trans and all over the place I could find and consider relevant.. Will see indeed what happens when I drive it for a while.
I did change distribution chain, guides and tensioners and retimed the engine. It’s kinda a “major mechanical thing” in my bookAh ok.
So you cloned it, ie its the same, and then reset adaptations?
So now you need to drive it.
If it was exactly the same why reset adaptive settings?
My way of thinking is people jump at the adaptive setting reset button too soon, Adaptive settings should only be changed on the relevant ECU "if" major mechanical things have changed.
You haven't. But anyway that's by the by just drive it and it will correct itself after a while.
