Yes will do I'll have another go at it in the morning now, thanks ever so much for your help much appreciated

Ok yes will ask about power leads. Oscilloscope christ do they still use those, I haven't seen one of them for years. I have to say I am thinking they may have damaged the BCU somehow.

I can go into the utility and get as far as the setting where you would normally be able to input the odometer reading to BCU , but when I hit the function to activate odometer to BCU nothing happens

Thanks Griff, realise what it is now, someone had blanked it at some point and used some sort of plastic cup that had hardened and then split, I have placed a bit of rubber hose over the top and as said by matgriff plugged it with a bit of broom handle, should hold it for a while.

I did concider making my own, as you say it is possible to buy from abroad, America advertise on ebay but the cost is silly for something that costs nothing, so it is looking like a home made jobbie. Thanks for your help

On the discovery 2 the handle fixed to the outside of the driver’s door also has the key lock barrel, when you put your key into the lock, and twist the key a rod attached to the barrel inside the handle then in turn, turns the locking mechanism, this pin inside the handle is made from cheap...
