Thread: Odometer flashing

Mine has this annoying issue as well. Looks like a while b4 I get a nanocom, so in the meantime is there a nice person who is knowlegeable with a nanocom that can plug in and fix this and check for any stored faults as well (I have severely delayed throttle issue too).

By nice person I don't mean free (unless I can swap a favour). I was quoted $150 for an odo bcu resync, $50 is more my price for a 5 minute 'professional' job as I acknowledge a workshop has overheads just sitting there waiting for business, but $150 is a bit over the top (in my opinion anyway, yours may differ if you own a workshop).

Also can anyone tell me what happens if the battery is disconnected? Does it always entail an odo bcu resync?

Are there any adelaide northern suburbs independants for land rover?

Google isn't my best friend. Thanks.

$150???? Bloke near me, who isn't known for being cheap, did mine for nothing. Didn't take even 5 minutes. But $150?? That's a third of the way to a Nanocom on a group buy. And really, until you get one, ignore the flashing. It doesn't cause any long time issues.

No.

Question, do you get your mechanical work done by this workshop as they usually do it for free. but garages make their money from working on cars. If the DYIer home mechanic is just using their time and equipment and not getting the work then they will probably charge.

I synchronised the BCU and ECU recently on a friends car where he had bought a new used ECU using my Nanocom..

It took about 5 seconds and there was no flashing instrument cluster and AFAIR no difference in Ks shown.

Maybe its different if the BCU has been replaced rather than the ECU but I don't think so.. Maybe the Ks displayed would change.

No they are not my regular workshop, I do my own mechanical and auto electrical work, and I just got this vehicle so have no familiarity with it yet and no scanner to read it as it is not even generic obd2 compliant. I farm out any work that I don't have the tools/equipment to do at home on my vehicle.

My point was $150 is over the top for what I wanted done, not that I wouldn't pay a reasonable price, a pro workshop has overheads. I also said I am happy to pay a nanocom packing aulro member in some way for helping out.

So anyway folks, where is the adelaide northern suburbs land rover familiar indie workshop/backyarder/aulro member located ?

How far north, Whyalla?

Na, south of Gawler, in Elizabeth. Where the GMH plant I once worked at was.

Was it like this when you brought it? It's an out of sync with the BCU and IP... either the BCU has higher KM or other way round... At any rate they will eventually sync to the higher KM after 15 or 16 ignition cycles as per RAVE.. (workshop manual)
