FAO Beamends - Prices please

Richard,



I took my P38 off road yesterday, well parked in a field anyway & the immobiliser piece of sh*te gave me grief & wouldn't let me start the car for an hour while it sulked* !!! Can you give me a price for a new alarm receiver, the latest incarnation - YWY500170 (NOT YWY500010 or even worse ASR1953) please? Also while I'm here a price for the remote key buttons, battery cover & o-ring (sorry, don't have the part nos to hand).


  • I know, I shouldn't have bothered !!!

Cheers, Chrisall.



snipped-for-privacy@chrisallmark.com uttered summat worrerz funny about:

Wonder if it could be down to Radar / Hi frequency interference as previously mentioned? More likely if you were on a hill overlooking say an airport... unlikely if you were at the bottom of a remote Welsh valley - inless that there is an RAF site there of course.

Just a thought as the symptoms you describe have been found by peeps in such circumstances.

Only one way to find out unfortunatley, well two actually.... either wait till it does/doesn't do it again or go park in the same spot with another vehicle ready to tow it into a shadow of what ever causes the interference.

Were there any strange lights in the sky? Odd humming noises, unexplained puncture marks on your skin and unexplaned passage of time ? ;-)

The receiver is an absolute bargain at £141.47 inc VAT :-) I'll have to get the proces for the other bits - I need the colour (Ash Grey or Black) and the VIN number.

I think it was one of those mobile phone masts disguised as a tree. The only passage of time was the hour I spent fri*ging about trying to enter the EKA code.... now then, is it as stated in the owners handbook, workshop manual or A.N.Other? They all contradict & nobody seems to know exactly how to do it.

Thanks Richard, I'll get you the VIN this eve. Colour is black ... about the same as the mood I was in yesterday afternoon !!! I think I might spend a bit of time this weekend trying to bypass the stupid thing. I know it's smart enough to know if you just bridge the starter relay though.

Popular mythology has it that the favoured route for disabling these immobilisers involves a box of matches..... ;-)

I can tell you how to do it properly, i had to do it twice!!

Or a sore @rse (or so I'm told).

Would you care to share that information?

Cheers, Chris.
