£500 for nanocom

Im in Portsmouth

So basicly i could just go via obd and enter code......would it work on mine being a 200 ? And anyone near me with it ?

She is a 2000 W

It dos not seem to want to accept the eka mate, tried but no go ! Would bcem syncmate do it ?

Hi guys.....that was quick! I fitted the repaired bcem and she ran great, took her for a run and stuff great, 3 weeks of bliss....well 2 flat batterys (new fuse box and battery fitted) and now battery went flat again and when charged now says "keycode lockout" again.
I have seriously spent more time and money on this car than any other, any advice guys ? Burn it ? I am getting so low on this car now, shes so so nice as well.

I'm taking the parts to RSW Solutions. The guy is sound, knows what h's doing.

@MartyUk I have tried to read the ECU but can't, therefore need to get the BCEM and ECU out to have them configured. It's not that far up the road from where I am, not on my bike anyways, lol.

Thanks Clive, I'll have a think and get in touch if I need anything mate.

OK, cheers. I'll get onto that. You been very helpful, thanks.

Thanks Orangebean. I think I found it, and looks obvious now that I know where it is, lol. Having just been out to have a look, I can't see how to remove the ECU. I'm taking them both out so that I can take 'em to Brighton Wednesday or Thursday. Thanks for the advice anyway.

Any chance you know how to get at the ECU? I can take two clips off the top, but can't see whether it's hinged or has similar clips on the bottom

Hi all, ain't been on for a while. I have a problem with my ECU not accepting BECM. Basically I need to take both out to get them calibrated.

Can anyone please tell me where the engine ECU is on my 4.6 hse Thor engine.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Hi, yes all doors open on key and fob just when you press boot button they all lock and then unlock

Hi guys, still not resolved the gas issue but have since done a starter and shes runs great on petrol however now the boot wont open !
Unlocks fine on fobor key but when the boot release button is pressed all doors lock and unlock and thats it, any ideas ?

Went to Bournemouth in May, Scarborough in July and then Brighton, first since 18 till i die tour ! took the P38 to Scarborough camping great times ! she blocked the tent from the winds !

Thanks yet again mate, do we have to book or put names down ? I am not sure if I bought the tickets to Bryan Adams for that weekend lol now I think about it !...................dates in my head .......I have her in doors for bookings lol

Hi guys I am not that good with computers editing etc but up until yesterday I thought I had a big problem coming my way and just want to share what I think resolved the matter for future help, also I am now going to start the LPG fault on her which seems to have now been there since I bought the car just over 12 months ago.

I am going to copy and paste the post I have placed at the end of "new problems clonks and stutters" below this post.

Thank you for all your input as well.

All I have left ( at the moment ! ) is the rich running on 1 bank (-25) when on LPG and I have just ordered a lead should be here tomorrow (AC STAG 300-8) to try and sort it out, as an ametuer I am starting from the lowest level possible and hope to be able to resolve the issue with a posotive outcome at the end of this post where I have fixed it ! and then maybe anyone in my area running the same system ( as there seems to be a lack of LPG support for this system down here ) I may be able to help as well.

My copy and paste ;

In a previous post I did about rough running and continuing on here about the splutter I replaced the TPS bought from GSF new about 6 weeks ago, anyway she ran afterward the same now I know due to the misfire caused by fuel trims being rich on LPG (running on liquid gold at the moment !) anyway after about 3 to 4 weeks she developed the stutter and its like taking your foot off before yanking it down and worse at cruising speed with a proper stutter but no real pattern to it and seeing as I had done coil packs plugs (twice) leads and air leak tests were getting worried a compression test was next and a broken valve spring or the kind was going to be my next job, even harder to understand were the fact that she runs well for a 4.6 ( hard to believe I know in my case ) and is actually quick ( which is harder to believe ) at all ranges even in lazy mode and has seen many TDi's off away from the lights plenty of poke on country lanes ( not as much as body roll ! )so found it hard to have a compression issue.
Anyway today on the way to do the trans box she was getting progressively almost to the stage where I could not be bothered with the swap, anyhow some way we carry on and up on the ramp she went box out box in and down again ( about 2 hours ) as I drove her out firing on all 8 she started her stutter again worse after fitting the trans box than before ! (horror time wasted more time) I then decided that it may be MAF so disconnected it again on petrol and still the same no change at all running the same as before, so I then changed the TPS back to the old one before checking codes which showed MAF ( where I had disconnected it ) but apart from that all clear ( snap on reader ) I then headed off on the test drive ( scary these days ! ) and waited for the stutter you all know what its like its gonna happen and you just wait for it ! well guess what ? no stutter in 20 miles at all ! so am assuming the TPS new one is dead !
Now I could have gone on and on here looking for it as I had already replaced it but a stroke of luck I though lets see and it seems to have worked................fingers crossed and I will keep an update on this for everyone to see as I think its only fair on all those that help out with advice.

So now the LPG system to sort out, seriously thinking about taking the time and miles to see Simon as advice on here is about as good as it gets and I thank you all for that (if we meet you will understand I really do mean it ) and getting him to sort her out, love the car so much done so much just my budget is getting low.

Hi all, when is this again ?

Well just done it and driven 20 miles ! no knocks or bangs and changes low/high range as normal so guess did it right ? filled her with dex 3 until it run out of filler hole and re greased all the nipples while I were there.
This may help some on here as well I hope.

We are lucky enough to have a ramp ! and a trans jack and air tools so should be easy as poss, just does it have to line up ? can it go into neutral while fitting ? and is it normal oil like the gearbox ? and filling etc ? I know people have done before and after the nightmare I had earlier this year I just want and easy job and it to go well, I hate saying it but 1 job i am scared of !
