https://lesedwards.co.uk/ Talk to Les first, and put the required key number & lockset code in the order comments.

Any main dealer.

Lockset code is a 14 digit alpa-numeric. Mine is "A" followed by 12 numbers, and ending in "W" . . . . . .

That sounds much safer! My key looks quite original (tired) and has original dealer key ring(also tired). The key has a sticker with e0682 on it but guess that is a type label?

Yes they can if you get the Lockset Barcode data from LR for the BECM in the car. If it's the original BECM, then LR just need ID & V5C doc to prove ownership.

that does sound good as the idea of sending anything as valuable as my only working key via royal snail fills me full of terror

Pretty sure classic rides can sort a key number so it doesn't clash with the one you have. If i recall.

Thanks for that will have a look as keys don't like me so will definitely need a spare!!

Google classic rides north Wales. Les does all things p38 in regards to keys and becm stuff.

I only ever had keys made purely of metal that you turned in the door lock to get in and the same to start it! Luckily the wife likes it and with overfinch rear exhaust it sounds very nice indeed!! I am also used to no one letting you out at...

Thanks for the quick replis again. I think it beeped twice whwn i turn the key on.. I swore i wouldn't have a car that beeped at me! Hopefully it is just a bulb then although the previous owner had no history or spare key that it had two years...

You can get a new FOB from a stealer at an exorbitant price. I believe there is also a company that can clone a FOB for you at a much better price.

Right it's back in. It felt okay - no resistance. Here's a before picture of the woodruff key before I removed it: And here's after: Does that look okay to you? Just checking... Nearly forgot to put the brass nut on at 50NM before pulling...

I've done it before in situ when I fitted a Speedi-Sleeve. Belt off. Fan off. Get a socket on the crank pulley bolt and undo that. It's bloody tight, you might need something to stop the engine turning. Pull off the crank pulley, and retain...

Good that you're getting somewhere but I'm sorry to say that I don't think you're done. You will need to get the wipers off and find out what is missing under the scuttle, my guess is there's a grommet out and the drainage under the scuttle is...

Okay I was away for a bit but soon I'll have a go at figuring out the phasing of my propshaft. I have a feeling this may be my issue and am hoping on a near-free fix which would be nice for a change! I'll keep this topic up to date once I...

as someone who drasticly changed hes drive train (manual box) in a l322 i looked at changing diff ratios, but decided against it as too much work for little gain, several things came from it, the forum was split about doing it ( one member was...

Must be a troll, surely.

Cannot believe there is 23 pages of this sh1t. It stopped making sense on the very first page!

nothing here makes any sense.

It could be a setting up port for the factory 🤔

Ooh, I hope not. It may just need all the bulbs replaced. 🫵

Haha that would be fantastic! Well I’ve ordered a new Diag which comes Monday then I’ll start tackling these bits and bobs in the hopes to get it back on the road :) … I’m glad it’s not that bad regarding suspension haha… let’s see 🤞🤞

I wouldn't have thought so the system self bleeds with the in tank pump running.

Bet the engineers didn't know either. Just thought it looks nice. Rustic...

Put nail varnish on em...😜

Yes, the P38 requires a valid FOB code to start. No FOB code and you have to enter the EKA code via the door lock a real PITA. That is why I run mine with the Immobiliser and EKA set to off, you can then open and start the car with just the key...

As long as your EKA works, cos you can’t re sync in the lock/ignition. I have often found even though it says low it still work, often disappears too 🤔. J

Need to send the immob signal? Or is that not relevant on the diesel?

If the immobiliser and EKA are not turned off in the BECM, you will have to enter the EKA code to start it. With immobiliser and EKA set to on, the BECM requires a valid FOB code to allow the engine to start.
