Thank you, I did have my doubts. Will strip door as soon as poss and check out the wiring and see what I can find. Car was fine yesterday, so it will be interesting to see if the beast fires up today or if the becm and fob have fallen out again! Last week they fell out in the Sainsbury’s car park. Drove there fine, fob locked it and went in for 15 mins, came out and nothing. Even the manual unlocking code wouldn’t work. Got recovered and left her for a few days and then re entered door code and all was ok for a few days then it happened again. Hoe fully I’ll find a chafed wire or something. Will let you know.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies. When the car is running the fob works fine and all locks are ok. They seem to lock when I either hit a bump or use the drivers window. Today the fob was useless again with engine locked out, but it took the manual key unlocking code straight away and then fob worked ok too. Car battery was still fully charged.
Has anyone coded the immob out of the becm? I’m lead to believe that auto logic has this capability, but I don’t know if I’d lose the fob locking at the same time.
Cheers Gary

Hi guys, hope you can help. My 2000 4.0 vogue has started to be a pain. Intermittently it will lose synch with fob and so lockout engine. The car battery is new and showing at 12.3 V. When it eventually takes the key code then it will start and be fine for a few days. But entering the key code is hit and miss, so I’m suspecting the outstation. Especially as I get odd locking issues when using the windows and when driving along. I’m sure you’ve been through this prob before and apologies for not having the time to search the forum, I just thought I’d ask for help. Cheers Gary
