Hi all - I got the van towed out of the main dealers and took off the ECU and sent it off to have it checked by an electronics firm. They confirmed it was fried :( so I found one on E bay from a breakers £75 plus the post, sent it to the electronics firm where they transfered my software into it and they sent it back to me. I fitted it yesterday and it started first turn :) so fingers crossed it will be ok. Im sure its my own fault for disconnecting the battery in the first place so be carefull when taking out the battery on these vans. Will take it for a longer run today as my confidence grows.

Congrats on getting it sorted and thanks for the update. Maybe you could recommend the firm you used to diagnose the ECU and recode the replacement in the 'Supplier Listing and Feedback' forum, I'm sure others will find it useful in the future :)

Hi thanks for that I will try that when I dry out from todays rain. I jumped it off a Shogun today and just held it on the key eventually it started but wont restart on its own although plenty of turnover in the battery. The red injector light is still flashing when it fails to start but not when its running. Ive noticed the heater light doesnt come on with the dash cluster so Ive checked the fuses again and cant see anything amiss. I wonder if thats the problem!wont know without a diagnostic done it I guess.
Since you have had the van from new have you tried the spare key as flashing injector light has a list of codes one of the main being it isnt getting the key code for the immobiliser.
woodymk1: has made a very good point as well I would defiantly give that a try.
One other thing is check near to the battery terminals as i had a battery problem so got another but pulled a wire out of a crimp when connecting the new battery.
Yes have tried the new unused key . The old one is so worn it falls out of the ignition whilst driving along. The new key doesnt make any differance, still just turning over but not starting. Anyway had it recovered yesterday and taken to main dealer to put on diagnostics. They reckon I need a new ecu as its showing an internal fault. With discount that will be £1,220.00 sir !!!!!!! I cant take that so Im having it towed out of there tomorrow. 2nd bad expieriance now from a main dealer but I guess they dont know how to repair the unit just to fit a new one and recode it. Thats the bit that infuriates me, the charge for recoding it.
Will update you all as the saga thickens.
hi there i had same problem they told me it was the ecu had it fixed 1300 quid stil got same problem took it back to main dealer they told me that when i brought it in i said i wouldnt start until the edc was on but because it is flashing now it is a diferent problem
