Hi all,
The lacquer and much of the paint underneath has gone on my bonnet, and I'm looking into respraying it. The rest of the paintwork is very good so its a shame to look out over this sad looking landscape when driving.
I have a question regarding removing the bonnet and whether this creates any electrical issues regarding mainly the immobiliser. I've read that as a security measure the P38 can disable the engine entirely if the wrong kind of access is attempted when entering the engine bay. The car came with no codes (EKA or BCEM) so Im treading carefully around this body module stuff.

- will removal upset the BCEM system/any other systems?
- should the battery get disconnected first
- any other gremlins I should be aware of before removing it
