There's no code in the GEM's ecu. You must use the security relearn option, then turn ignition off, back on after 15 seconds & your indication is the check engine light appearing on the binnacle. Job done. As for the becm ems box. You can put anything you like in there as it makes no...

On the gems engine, Petrol ems, Security relearn.

The way to reinforce it, that works is like this. Cut two pieces of 16g metal to the shape of the body of the tensioner. (one piece for each side) Drill two holes each side at the top & bottom to hold the metal to the body of the tensioner. Araldite the metal profiles to each side of the...

I've gone through two of them in 12 years. I've reinforced the one I have on there now. These tensioners are a pain in the Ar*e.

It could be coming from the breather pipes. They should sit behind the engine above the bell housing.

It seems the with the air temperature rising these pumps are struggling. I've rebuilt 2 today & another two range rovers are due in with the same problem. Although the pumps are running, make sure they're sucking in the air by using your finger, thin paper trick. These pumps respond well to a...

You Haven't got an EMS code. You have a Gems engine. On the GEMS system you have a security relearn.

This sounds like the beginning of a faulty pump.

The importance of a servicable driver door lock mechanism is hugely understated. With this fault it doesn't matter what diagnostics you have, if the lock is faulty it's not telling the car you're in it. Even with the passive immobilser off, alarm etc, if the car isn't being told you've...

This is a double thread?

If the last owner told you that the locks are " Bouncing" that's a sure sign of door lock mechanism failure. A precise & accurate history on these vehicles can produce a spot on diagnosis. Give Marty a shout for one of his refurbed drivers door locks.

Wammers, That not the case. The becm has a built in feature that protects the vehicle from any electrical failure. Any one of the other ecu's that is either monitored or controled by the Becm has the potential to cause the becm to alarm & enter the Keycode Lockout feature. This is to protect...

The immobilsation can never fully be removed. You can restrict the possibility of getting immobilised by approx 75% but the dreaded KeyCode Lockout cannot be removed. This is built into the electronics. Some people say that the EKA code can be deactivated, but this is your only option of...

You really need to get everything working before you look at a battery drain. Failed motors etc can cause a drain.

If the becm is at fault, no diagnostics will repair that. To replace the becm & keys etc, is changing the identity of your vehicle & will cause future problems. Can you get the readings of the three stage sleep process & publish them, then we might be able to help you. The reading should be...

Range Rovers have headlight daytime running. You just need to turn them on. Who would wish to have them on with the extra cost of the fuel. Volvo's have them as standard & can't be turned off, but a range rover?

These Evoques are to Land Rover the same as the mini metro was to Rover.

Wammers. I used to own a company rebuilding rotors. You're spot on. You can replace the slips rings if they're that bad.

Marty, I used to think the same. I used to think that if the radio was working & not the hevac, it wasn't a becm fault as both the havac & radio are feed by the same feed. This was my mistake. The Hevac can have power, but restricted performance. To find these faults requires the circuits to...

Turbo's on a l322 are quite easy. On the TDV8 sport, It's probably one of the worst jobs you could wish to do. To supply & replace both turbo's you won't get any change out of £5.5k. I've known garage costs going nearer to £7k.
