They tried and failed to make it look like the grill on the super charged sport.....
I quite like the idea, of the standard grille and the trim under the headlights chrome plated if, it was possible, probably cost
a fortune though.

Been in it all week since selling the mini and berlingo van,
Wednesday I got a volvo xc90 so went with trailer for that
Were heading down too 3 sisters in wigan on Friday night, then down too Windsor for a couple of days then back up the road,
Initially the mini was an idea as a cheepo trip but with 3 of us and little dog it was too small to be useful,
Van just came in a px
scenic won't be on road in time,
The xc90 runs out of mot on the 17th
So it looks like a trip in the range rover what a shame

It's got to be an aftermarket grill as there is no way that you could modify a plastic P38 grill by drilling it with hundreds of holes without it shattering.

Dehumidifier out, trickle off, tools and tarp in the back. 50 mile comfortable waft to the garden centre for lunch, then back via the BILs (to dig out two saplings) and the fuel station.
Just under 21 mpg tankful including east London for funeral, long steady run home and yesterdays time.
Speedo still wonky, EAS perfect even though I haven't touched the earths yet.

Yeah my pals drifting at drift leauge, I wish I was taking my car down but Iv only just got a one owner rot free 65.000mile E46 to strip to a bare shell start building cage and everything in and swap all my running gear onto, also need to build a tyre rack for my trailer too as throwing 16 wheels with tyres in the back of the range rover isnt ideal,
So, after measuring fuses on 200mV scale & using my fuse current tester, it seems F1 was the only one showing any current flow at all but only 120-200mA which eventually dropped to about 20mA. Checked Radio, Instruments & Window Switch pack with no success. Sometimes the BECM would appear to be sleeping with zero mV across all fuses (except F1), but was still showing about 500mA battery drain.
Tried the BECM SID checks for GEMS, ABS & HEVAC ECU's, doing the sleep test after each one. finally after disconnecting C246 on the HEVAC the BECM sleeps after 2.5min, but the current remains around 500mA until the 5min point when it drops to 35-40mA. Reconnected HEVAC and it randomly either stays at 500mA, or sometimes drops to 35mA.
Dug out an old HEVAC (faulty display), and tried that. Got the same 2.5min 500mA & 5min 35mA results as above. Finally swapped the main PCB over to the HEVAC with working display and all seems good now.
Car has stayed at 35mA for the last 15-20mins, so will repeat the test & re-assemble the interior.
It would be nice to have a more reliable indicator of full sleep than a dim LED, but I guess that's P38 ownership.
Headlight wipers parked properly?

No need for than palaver if EKA and Immobiliser are turned off in the BECM.
