Hello

I have just brought a 1998 Range rover P38 4.0

the battery went flat due to the passenger door not locking on the central locking and someone opening it setting the alarm off.

so when I got back the car had a flat battery so I charged it up and put it back in the car, all the normal messages come set windows ect .... but when I turned the key nothing happened just a click from under the seat and maybe the fuse box, the other thing I noticed is the check engine light doesn't come on anymore as before it did, so I called the AA out hoping they come help but they couldn't get it started either, but they did give me the fault code which was p1622

now I have been reading a lot of threads and from the problems im having the conclusion would be the besm and ecm are out of sync ?

could anyone help me with this ? or point me in the right direction ?
and am I even on the right track or could it be more simple than that ?

Thank you.
 
I think you have your diagnosis right. Put your location and there may be someone nearby who can help, or buy yourself a Nanocom so you are prepared for the next time.:welcome2:
 
Thank you for the quick reply I live in the south of England town called Poole so if there is someone near by with a Nanocom that would be great, but if not where would I purchase a Nanocom ?
 
Welcome... +1 to Datatek.

You can get the Nanocom from Black Box Solutions....

It was said the Discount only applies to long standing and participating members.

(Pity they don't do an L322 version - else my name would be first on the list)

It's coming Ant, but not in time for the discount and not I think for the early L322.

True - mentioned it was for the post 2006 Ford based models...

No matter, the All Comms does my fine at present! :D
 
I'm fairly local but I think your car is a Gems engine. My Nanocom is set up for diesels and thor engines. I fear you won't get it running again without plugging it in.
 
once again thank you for your reply I will look in the Nanocom and let you know how I got on, I may also look to see if there any software I can get for my laptop to do the same thing.

From what I've read, neither Lynx or Hawkye will re-sync, I may well be wrong though.
 
BBS Nanocom evo, hawkeye or LR testbook. Thats about it. If you've serious about keeping and working on a P38
 
THOR (Motronic)

Had it been a Motronic I could have helped once I confirm how to do it correctly.
I'm near Taunton, sorry buddy.
 
A lot comes down to preference. I say the nano is very good, some say hawkeye. Lynx is becoming popular.
 
As quoted above - not sure the Lynx or the Hawkeye can do the re-sync....
