I have a Tartarini Multipoint System on my 4.6 and I get about 280 out of 76 litres. That said I'm with the crowd ... as you don't want to shell out for a MP for the marginally better MPG as it's quite serious money. I would note that if your system is 8 years old it might benefit from a...

Update for those interested. Problem remains erratic - and I'm still not convinced that the vehicle isn't responding to maverick wifi signals as it seems to be more prone to greet me with a flat battery when parked in specific locations. I also had a "ignition tamper" note the other day -...

I've had erratic trigger problems with the alarm on my p38 and it seems more consistently to be giving me RH door messages. It doesn't always immobilise the truck but this morning it did - so MSV2 was needed to rewrite the BECM with the Motronic Code! Is there a view that this is something...

Agree with Irish - this is a setting that can be changed with Faultmate. Also agree with the fact that a BECM can default to settings other than those selected previously. I found that mine went back to sides after a period of off road disconnect whilst we rebuilt the engine! Curious though...

I have an MSV Extreme and it has paid for itself several times over just on the ability to match the ECU and BECM security code when the alarm has a hissy because of someones overly powerful wi-fi or whatever (and yes this still happens even with the updated radio receiver module!) I would...

I recently came across what appears to be an issue with postcode input. I had a 2006-7 disc which supported postcode input but this became damaged. I got a navteq 2009-10 disc of ebay and this doesn't do postcode input at all ... there are POI's but no postcodes. I think I noticed elsewhere...

Are you saying that side and tail lights flash when you lock and unlock but this changes to indicators after you've driven a while? If so, and based on my rather considerable experience (or seemingly so) of slightly flat batteries, odd BeCM behaviour etc, I would suggest you check what the...

Alex We've been here before - check out the full thread at http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/p38-remote-receiver-problems-53360.html. It would appear that if you go for the aerial disconnect you'll be OK for a few days then start to experience funnies. Trust me - I bit the £130 quid...

Have been investigating Blackbox Solutions. They are currently on the cusp of shipping an updated MSV-2 kit which is expected to be a bit cheaper than the current MSV. There have been some niggles apparently so anyone really desparate will need to get the older unit. The last I heard from...

Wills Thanks for your last message. This is great news - assuming that something like the Faultmate Server for P38 from someone like P38Spares.co.uk at £650 is the real McCoy. Having already spent the best part of £450 over the last year (ignoring the "notional" cost of two trailer trips...

Wills, Thanks for your very helpful contribution. Took a print out of BeCM screen to the garage asking that the tech simply reset if the ARM option was set to side and tail. Basically what he says he's done is put it on testbook and played around. He claims that for UK market you can only...

its that simple but you need to get it to testbook (usually a recover to dealer - AA, RAC and Independent guys working for Direct Line are used to this) and then the £100 for the textbook! I've been there twice in a year - and my BeCM gets replaced tomorrow. Welcome to the wacky world of...

No problem with keys as the RF simply sends signal to the BeCM. That then does the acceptance routine. Far as I'm aware shouldn't need to re-sync though should you need to and have difficulties there is an accessible off-manual way of doing it using a routine of button pressing whilst holding...

I take it from what you say that you concur that a replacement BeCM is going to be required to solve this problem and (maybe) other niggles. Appreciate the recommendation of the Brighton contact but it is probable that the "getting there" or other disruption (vehicle out of use for 3 days or...

Advice given is good though I'm a believer that with Wifi internet routers the early RF's are getting more crap, resulting in battery drain because of BeCM self check routine. I've heard stories that early 322 suffered as well. The part you need for 433Hz is YWY 500170. Part cost is about...

Hi guys, Wanting some support before I spend £1k swapping BeCM and Fuse Box About a week ago my working P38 decided that it wanted to flash head and brake lights when locking and unlocking rather than indicators. Local independent has checked over and said the BeCM is going flaky and needs...
