    Is there a readily available mechanical seat I can fit instead?

    P38a time to sell?

    Seat was all the way back. Certificate suggests it must operate in the way the manufacturer intended? But I could swap it for a non moving seat and that would be OK....

    P38a time to sell?

    Seat doesn't need to move? Interesting. If it is designed to move and does not, is that a fail?

    P38a time to sell?

    I could junk the seat controls and just wire the fwd/back to a momentary dpdt switch. That would sort the mot. Am not interested in rebuilding bcm or seat out station. I suppose I could try just cutting the wires to the seat until just the fwd/bck are connected. But the faffing thing did not...

    P38a time to sell?

    First time, the tester couldn't find the flap button, so could not check the cap. I spent the weekend removing the seat and looking for the reason for f10 blowing. Could not find a fault, used a 10a fuse instead of a 30a to check for fault. NFF but cable carefully rerouted. Reassembled and the...

    Hi 2r, not quite flowing you (I'm often slow to catch up). After 6 months, I finally got round to taking the lid off. Who is the guy recommending the soldering approach? I'm still keen to learn.

    Last ditch, took the lid off and previous servicer had written code inside. Should have looked first. Live and (almost) learn

    Correct coil pack?

    P38 4.6 2001 {t reg} bosch thor. I have the 'eight in a row' coil pack flitted. Not the two blocks of four. The great google suggests the 'eight in a row" pack is GEMS. Do I have the wrong coils fitted?

    £100 is way more than its worth. No need for a service. If the solution has to involve shipping, it"s time to search for a reasonably priced replacement. Thanks for all the info.

    Bad news. All the free services were fakes that either wanted £20 or to download some very questionable content. Only found a couple of genuine sites, all over £20. I'd rather put the money towards a modern unit. I will call Swindon tomorrow and also try ebay PayPal options.

    Hi, following a dead battery and a ecu lock out, I got eka and radio codes from dealer. Eka good, car runs and I resynced the keys. I entered the code in the radio but it just stays on the screen. Is there another button to press? Have checked code with dealer but can't help with how to enter...
