Thanks Grrr!! Steve

Rick has worked his magic but has suggested that I need a new door mechanism-I assume this is the microswitches/servo? Does this come as a unit and where could I buy it from? I'd rather fit one before I put the BeCM back. Regards Steve

Took it out today and sent off to Rick. If it never goes again at least it makes a nice kennel.

Thanks Wammers. I'm going to contact Rick and get it off to him. There is definitely something up with the BeCM. Regards Steve

Power is constant unless the door is opened and interior delay comes on. Then you have to wait until lights go out. Another funny thing-according to the manual fuse 15 controls the courtesy lights, handset receiver, loadspace light, rear wiper, subwoofer rear audio amps-but when I pull it it...

Had another fiddle. I removed the two wires from the lock mechanism on the lower tailgate-I think its to tell if tailgate closed. Still have a lights out delay to open the top part-but now seems that power is constant after the lights delay and I don't have to wait for the lower tailgate to open.

Thanks Rick, Had a look at the tailgate lock. The earth side is working fine-but there is no permanent 12 v feed to the other side. Fuses fine. Pressing the dome light front button has no effect on disabling/enabling the interior lights. The front map reading lights also fail to work-checked...

Thanks Marty and Grrrr, I'll get my trusty multimeter out and investigate today or tomorrow-I'll also check the door microswitches. I think there are two separate problems-the lights/boot and the loss of comms with the BeCM-Ricks description of what is happening is spot on. Was due to go away...

Ill try and find the ground for these two-hope its the one in the rear

Thanks! I'll get the meter out in the morning. The only thing throwing me is the the recurring delay on the boot-a dodgy connection would not result in a fixed delay. It's got to be connected to the interior light delay-common connector/ground? Regards Steve

have you asked on fullfatrr.com?

Think I've found it-is it behind the EAS box and Cruise thingy? Stever

Cannot contact the bloke who was going to have a look-so will now send the Becm to Rick along with the engine ECU. Just a quickie-where is the engine ecu? REgards Steve

Thanks Rick. Regards Steve

Thanks all, I've hopefully got someone coming to have a look on the weekend. He works for a Land Rover specialist and comes highly recommended. Thanks Rick, Will probably be in touch!!!!! Regards Steve

That's what I'll try and do-I'll contact the local Land Rover specialist and see if they can come out. Problem is it's under a carport with a 90 degree turn immediately after the entrance-will never get it out if it won't start. It's definitely something to do with the BeCM-the tailgate opening...

Thanks, happened once years ago-tried the EKA code-no luck. Thanks Steve

Thanks Alan, Will have a look-but I think this time there's a problem with the BeCM. I think I'll have to ask the local Land Rover specialist to have a look. I thought I might replace it with an original Range Rover for electrical simplicity-but the prices are astronomical. Was looking years...

That's fantastic! Many thanks Tomcat. Steve
