The values I wrote down here are as per the test sheet with the latch disconnected. Of course i also checked both ways to see if the change in position of the CDL, keyswitch etc can be measured and confirmed, which is the case.

Thanks for the test sheet. Here are the results: CDL test: open circuit so infinite resistance Keyswitch test: 2.4ohms or beep circuit closed Door ajar switch test: beep 23ohms CDL motor: 27ohms slightly higher but ok i think.

To give you bit of background. I’ve bought the car in 2023. I started with repairs ever since. One of the first things I bought was a nanocom and it has always worked fine. I changed the heater matrix and I removed the dash for hvac repairs. All is dry in the wells I also verified the...

Well I know it sounds confusing but in normal circumstances when you want to connect to the becm a message appears on the binnacle one is in diagnostics mode with the accompanying clicking from becm. Now it does not show this message on the binnacle and all changes one makes do not get stored.

So a bit of an update. I received and installed the front left for me drivers door lock from Rimmer bros. I purchased the MG part as suggested but sadly it doesn’t change my situation. The car remains in the same state with engine disabled message and press keyfob message at the binnacle if...

I removed it as well to test, made no difference

Yes that was one of the 1st things I did. I did not mention it but I actually have an extra box to avoid rf noise from nearby sources from Marty.

I ordered one from Rimmer bros today, it’s on it’s way. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for the tip on the MG part compatibility 🙏🏻

If you don’t mind can you share the link for the MG locks? 😂ignore my question you already did 😂

Yesterday evening I measured supply voltage to the rf receiver and that’s ok. It is fused by F15 at becm. I also verified F9 and F22, they all check out fine. The door locks mechanically with the key but the motor is not working so cdl not working. I can hear it anymore. Hence I think the car...

How do you disconnect the rod from the keylock, it looks like a clip is securing the rod in place?

oh and I'm from Belgium so I think that's a bit far away :-)

The problem is i cannot change the state of things , locked or unlocked. The car seems to return to its locked state , because it seems that the car the drivers lock is still closed. I've taken the door card of, I've reset the windows and sunroof so outstation must be good. Also when I try to...

Battery is new on both keys and they have worked ever since. I encountered an out of sync EDC before but this is not the same. In that instance I could easily go in and change the code via diagnostic mode. In this case the becm does not allow me to make changes.

Hi guys, I'm having an issue with my p38 2.5dse from 1998 LHD. During the past year or 2 I have been restoring her to get her back on the road. That went well I now got new registration. In the meanwhile however it broke down with a faulty transfer case but that's not the culprit right now...

Thanks for the input about polishing. I actually was interested in the Ashcroft tc. But I’m not in the UK and with import duties and core deposit it is quite expensive. The core deposit equals the amount I would have to pay to ship the original back. So with current prices 850+250+ import duties...

After a bit more investigations it looks like the transfer case is the culprit rather than the auto box. I noticed Ashcroft have rebuilt kits and chains available. Did anyone here already attempt an overhaul of the Borg Warner transfer case? If so is it doable without special tools? I’d...

The problem is getting it out from under the car, I don’t have a service pit. I did remove my engine before, it would have been easier hence I’m looking to get it replaced for me.

I looked at Ashcroft but I didn’t know they could arrange fitting it, that’s what’s holding me back a bit. Are you sure that works for Europe, I could of course make an inquiry.

Ok it turns out that the transmission problem is real and not a battery charge issue. I’m currently not driving it anymore to make things not worse. It started with output shaft message, that went away and it actually never came back. To be sure I changed the filter and oil again. Found nothing...
