New battery today in the L322.
What a faff. Those bloody security torx screws are a real PITA, why the need? you have to ask sometimes.
A couple of small flesh wounds to the knuckles and a bit of sorting the fusible link to get it all to fit back together.
But all done, it’s all pretty snug in that space
. No sorry it’s very very snug.
Told the car new battery fitted with GAP and checked around while plugged in,only 1 fault “unknown” but date and time logged was when I reconnected battery so don’t believe that’s an issue.
While looking around got some data that confused me a bit so will be onto search and see if it’s a problem or not
I can also confirm that the battery voltage shown in the service menu (on car) shows the same as the GAP, which is nice to know for future checks.
Swapping the cars back around the bloody OF battery has gone flat it was only outside for 1 night and a newish battery (last year). There is always something to keep us amused
Back in the warm house and now it’s beer O clock, happy weekend

Just had the replacement front screen fitted, only phoned them lunch time yesterday, hopefully all the heated screen will now work.

It was sixty quid on the excess for glass cover so not bad, I would not want to pay full wack I think that would be hundreds.

Lots of little jobs today to do:
Leak on Rear window washer pipe
Repair broken headlamp washer arm, (broken washer pipe spiggot)
Whistling noise from behind dash when fans on,
Connect wire to dashboard sensor fan. Remembered that it wasn't connected when dash went back in and could be cause of HEVAC warning light.
So kettle on, tools out and me for the day..
(It's that or trip to Morrisons..)

Yes its not a typo they really are called Tiger. They are made in Slovakia but are owned by Dunlop, they have a very good European rating and found them by chance. I had ordered new winter Bridgestone's last year from Moscow but when they arrived after a week they were the wrong size so sent them back and bought locally what I could find and have not been disappointed by quality or price.

GAP IID,is diagnostics.
It has a lot of info, we have had it a while but not really used it much, but it just sits in the car as insurance
It can do a lot on the new L322 (2011).
Loads of info, use with the I pad or phone. Record live data alssorts of clever stuff.
But of course it could equate to your last suggestion too

Hi Datatek, All been fine for weeks since my last disablement in the P38 and today went to the shops came out and Engine disabled. Tried the key code, nothing happened. Door does unlock but not the central locking and the engine stays disabled. Have tried many times now and have used both keys. Its not as if I don't know how to use the EKA as I have used it many times with success So I suspect it must be the micro switch just asking what you think? Plus the little red lamp on top of the dash next to the gps sensor is flashing and it has never done that before that I have noticed.
Any clues mate?

On mine, I know it's the micro switch, I don't have to use the EKA code, just re-lock and unlock using the FOB and it usually works.

Took the old girl down to the local garage this morning to have the pre-heat system looked at again as it had stopped working again.
No real disaster as I have been able to use a jump lead direct to the glows from the battery, but obviously not ideal.
Anyway, for some reason the wiring does not quite match the blades on the relay? the mechanic found a known good relay in his odds and sods bin that works fine as long as the dash warning light sender wire is disconnected, again not really a problem as I can hear when the relay clicks off, so I can start her up from cold as normal.
I am just a tad ****ed off with this as bought a Hella relay/timer of the right part number, but as the mech said "if you pay a lot more money for a genuine part it might be alright", I think there is a chance a previous owner did something clever with the wiring so it may not be the solution anyway.
I'll just put up with it for now.

If it worked and then stopped working, it's unlikely to be a wiring error, wires do not move of their own volition.
Morning all...found another leak.
Good. That's progress!
