  1. No glitches at all, those are real codes, the Td5 engine management is not OBD2 compliant so no relation with P codes, for the injector code check the ECU red plug for oil cos if there's oil ingress the output for those warning lamps can be affected too .... dont blame Lynx which is a good tool for the "operator"'s lack of knowledge ;)

  2. It can be "tired" transmission temp sensor too(UBI100030), it's screwed into the cooler, i dont know it's thread but you can fit a sensor of a digital gauge instead of it with an adaptor if the thread is different, or you can drill and cut thread on the other side of the cooler.. then you'll see the real temp on the dash instead of the warning , that gauge works for oil as well, i fitted one to somebody in a BMW cooler and it works

    i used a gauge like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-52mm-UNIVERSAL-DIGITAL-BLUE-LED-WATER-TEMP-TEMPERATURE-GAUGE-METER-CAR-UK-/360811362289 water sensor/gauge works for oil as well, i wired one to a friend in a BMW cooler and it works(i made the electrics only cos he fitted the sensor to the cooler)

  3. I dunno, maybe they wanted to be sure that you are aware of all the settings before you change something by scrolling through all of them, at least you know how it works now :i-m_so_happy: ... on the other side don't be dissapointed cos it's a good diagnostic tool just that you'll have to find out more on your own how to use it. ^_^

  4. Unfortunately i dont have it i've just seen it in action at a friend some time ago but i know for sure it's on the same protocol like hawkeye which i have and it asks for a confirmation on exit for changing the settings, after you made the change dont exit directly just jump to the next option(iirc odometer error warning) if it's disabled let it so then scroll through all the other options untill the end then exit..... dont you get a confirmation request then?

  5. That's boll*x m8, a "locked" BCU means immobilised so no communication with any tester whatsoever before it's unlocked with EKA, as long as your vehicle cranks and starts it's not the case.... unfortunately those guys are like LR "engineers" at main dealers...they dont have a clue

  6. Don't you have a final option at the end of the menu after you made the change in the BCU for courtesy lights which asks you to confirm the changes from factory settings?... i dont have lynx but that's how hawkeye works and they are on the same protocol, so after you made any change in the BCU scroll untill the end of all the settings and see if there is a confirmation request or not

  7. Hi, this thread has begun a while ago but i've just seen it as you answered, i dont have shares in that Lynx tool i'm just trying to help believe me, what i know is that it's built on the same protocol like the main delaer's Testbook T4 by the same manufacturer(Omitec) so i have serious doubts it's a software issue rather than an operator one no offence.... i've been studying all kind of LR diagnostic protocols for a while now as a hobby which means deeply :)

    So what's your problem, the immobiliser thing or the door switch issue...or both? cos i see the OP stated there's no voltage through the door switch which is normal cos they are working on earth path and a faulty one would mix up the automatic illumination and show on any ECU is connected.

    As about the immobiliser are you sure there's no option like "Key mobilise - Key disarm" there in the alarm settings?, cos if it is set it to "allowed"... or copy/paste here all the options you have in the alarm settings menu and describe exactly your problem and we'll speak then

  8. I'd contradict all those who ruled out a leak and i bet on air bag leak though, replace both bags if they are older than 6 years.... or if you want to be 100% it's a leak leave it over night or those few hours with battery disconnected and if it drops this way too you have the answer cos the management is ruled out
