Flat starter battery on the van

[Pudsey Bear]

I installed a Battery Monitor BM2 which was bluetooth enabled to my Santa Fe, it's now on my MH. It keeps a record of battery voltages and is good for solving any problems. It also can gives alerts for when the battery is getting low. I've had 2 of these and would get another if I got another car. - no connection to the company.

Update:-


The ECU repair place got back to me yesterday.

"I have been working on your ECU and unfortunately it is beyond repair due to an internal short circuit within the PCB which I cannot get to. I’ve checked my programming tools and I can offer a code swap to a replacement ECU which would cost £330 in total (£210 for the replacement ECU, £100 for the code swap, £20 collection & return postage fees). If this sounds ok I can get the ECU ordered in?"
I have been searching for a used one anyway and the cheapest I could find was this one so I'm happy to proceed with their option to replace and recode.

The 'Body Control Module' Fault code showed up on mine when the ECU failed, and that was deemed beyond repair

When mine was "repaired" last time (Same van) it didn't work, the body control module was duff, with a capital F.

The replacement ECU is on it's way to me today should get it tomorrow, all coded up so should be a straightforward re-fit and hopefully fire up, then it gets an MOT in the same garage.
