Some pics..

All, thanks a lot for all the pointers and help here. Indeed much appreciated. The car is now back with me from Tyseley 4x4 with problem hopefully gone (Fully remembering its a P38 - so one can't be sure) Will try and get it washed and post some pics too.

I am told that a "micro-switch" in the BECM which controls the alarm system needs to be replaced. I know what Rick would've cost me for a BECM flash so the rest is the charge for "removing the 4 seat bolts and screws and then posting it to Rick" and hence not exactly a favour from where I see...

Huh!! Shouldn't he be telling me about it?

Hi All, Thanks for all your help. I have given up on trying myself and the car is now with a local LR garage - Tyseley 4x4 who popped up as the closest to where I was. Will keep you posted on this. Thanks

Thanks all for your replies. I could really do with someone with NANOCOM nearby.

Hi Wammers, Thanks. Will try it again tomm with the terminals. Didn't know about the 17 sec rule. On entering the EKA code, it doesn't give me any signal (Posts tell me to see the flashes happen, but nothing! So not sure if the code is actually going in)

Thanks for the reply. The door locks were working OK. But with the manual key open, it only opens the Driver's door. However, I opened all the doors from within and they opened. And again when closed manually, they all lock together, so central locking still OK, I suppose! I can open the door...

Hi All, I am after some help and guidance really. After some happy miles in my P38 (4.6 Vogue, 1999 but GEMS) for a month, the dreaded msg. has come up on the dash last week thus forcing me to abandon the vehicle in my office car park. I have since tried the following and haven't had much luck...

Hiya, Just new to the P38 world. Not sure why but it was that itch... Have some issues currently so posting it in the respective forum. Ta
