It was covid itself, & I caught it in HOSPITAL when I visited my now departed wife, I ended up in hospital for a month, I was the oldest on the ward & only myself & another fella survived out of 8, it screwed my immune system & consequently I cop for everything & anything going! But Im still...

Well dear friends, here I am back again after several re-visits to hospital, docs etc ( all due to covid ). Anyroadup, I HAVE managed to spend a few hours now & again messing with the paperweight. ALL the plugs & sockets in footwells have been cut/soldered & heatshrinked. NO DIFFERENCE!! The...

It looks so good it may even be a later replacement fusebox! I WILL however, pull it out again & go over it with a glass!

One of the first things I did when I got it, pulled it apart, looked new, cut all the bus-bars along the edges, opened it up, again all like new, folded it back together, re-soldered all those connecting bars. Actually, if you could se it, you'd think it was new! This is DEFINITLEY an historic...

Got the BeCM back today, apparently the internal data was corrupted, no physical damage, all software related, & was corrected. Great! At last I had great expectations, all refitted & connected back up, Ahh, everything exactly as before :( Well at least I know its NOT the BeCM!! Had a...

Bit the bullet & sent off BeCM with key to 'Rick the pick at Callrova in Brighton, it'll be interesting to see what develops??

Just so I know, if I disable the EKA/Imob, is it reversable?

👍

That's great, thank you yet again, I think i WILL disable them both then, so that will be a couple of possible problems out of the way! So does that also mean that if the battery is disconnected for some time in the future, it can be re-connected & the key will work 'normally' without resetting...

Been messing again with the Nanocom & found a 'disable EKA' or something like that, so if I disable it, will I have to look & unlock with the key or will the remote actions still be available?? If not, what does it mean?

Remember the ECU's on a P38 are frequently fussy about diagnostic connection. BECM only with ignition off, HEVAC often takes 2-3 attempts, but usually best in ignition positions 2 & 3. ABS only connects below 5mph. EAS must have a good delay timer !! WOW! I didn't know that! My BeCM only works...

I have tied the Nanocom modules that wont connect with the key in position 1, 2 & even engine running & completely off. I have a very good multi-meter & test probe, but since I'm no elctrikery teckie, am reluctant to do anything more than check voltages & continuity. Is there a way I can pop out...

Yes, I think that will be my next move.

Well dear friends hair pulling is making me bald!! I've checked & double checked every connector, earthing point I can find, ALL are like new, I feel there is a common denominator from years old MOT fails & the faults still showing & why diagnostics wont communicate, but I don't know what it is...

Yeah, I know WHAT they are, I was asking if you thought something's amiss as they are NOT in yellow sleeving. No leaks, dry everywhere. All connections seem shiney!

Had another shuffling around the plugs etc when I noticed that one of the SRS set of wires is NOT in the yellow sleeving, but it does enter into the main loom. I was under the impression that ALL SRS is in the yellow stuff, could this be a past owner mod? Should I investigate further??

OK, Nanocom delivered ( at great cost ) :( Registered it, hooked it up, imported all the various module codes, all seems to work ok BUT, yet again, there a some modules it cant/wont communicate with, BECM works fine, as does the EDC, doesn't connect to ABS, SRS, or EAS, & these are the ones...

Ah ok, Nanocom on its way!

OK, i'll bite the bullet & go for the Nanocom, just hope its a good as everyone says it is!

Blackbox just got back to me stating that the Faultmate modules are the same as Rovacom ( doesn't say so in their website ) Now then, the cost of the extra modules comes to £370.00, do you think a Nanocom will be a better bet for a few quid more?? Cos there's a fair bit if faff with Rovacom...
