TartOff to Bakewell tomorrow. There's been no repeat of refusing to go anywhere. So far
No I'm not really a fan of themTart
I quite like the idea, of the standard grille and the trim under the headlights chrome plated if, it was possible, probably costNever seen any P38 with that grill and I have a 95, a 99 and a late 00, I reckon it's and after market grill, looks nice though.
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.Never seen any P38 with that grill and I have a 95, a 99 and a late 00, I reckon it's and after market grill, looks nice though.
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,Oo i was karting at 3 sisters Friday night
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.
That must be a reliefWell it's finally hit 150k miles and is now doing range rover things,

BEEPNo need for than palaver if EKA and Immobiliser are turned off in the BECM.
