    I bricked my car after changing 12v battery

    Have you tried removing the 12v battery and fully charging it again off the car and repeating the process again with the HV disconect engaged/disconnected? This will have 2 benefits, draining the 12v system while your battery goes for a charge plus you will know you have a full battery when you...

    Instructions to replace a REx yourself?

    I've just removed a rex engine from a car I'm breaking, front end damage. I removed the Rex and electric motor together. If you want some tips, remove the drive shafts early doors and the HV cable that runs down the UK Passanger side near the motor when you can. It may seem a small cable in the...

    Rex vs bev EME for replacement parts

    This may be crazy but thought I'd float it anyway. So it seems that the EME virginising is quite a mission with talk of explorer a bit hit and miss. So with some current scan tools said to be able to read the ISN but maybe not change it. How about matching the other codes too it or have I over...

    Part Wanted Wanted BEV EME inverter

    Thanks, yes I have been looking on a regular basis. It seems they're all rex version or the later ones unfortunately. I need something 2013 to 2016 to stand a fighting chance.

    Even a faulty one would be considered if yours went faulty and was replaced I'd still be interested in the faulty unit. :)

    Rex vs bev EME for replacement parts

    No, at the moment I've not found either the software or anyone with the ability to clear the ISN. I hope you are correct and it is just coding. It's a shame I cannot find a BEV EME module. It may have been useful for someone in my situation with a Rex i3 because I could supply the module set and...

    Rex vs bev EME for replacement parts

    Some good news and some not so good news but it may help others in the future. Today I took the rex eme inverter from my i3 and put it on the Bev version I have that has no EME module. So the good news is that my 60 Odd errors have been reduced to only 6 according to the scan I ran...... But...

    Rex vs bev EME for replacement parts

    Yes I do know what you mean. I'm in 2 minds. With the 3/4 rex I have would be a good solution for someone in a similar position as me as I could sell the eme and other modules that mean no virginising (made up word I'm sure) would be needed and they could be fitted as a job lot to cure the...

    Rex vs bev EME for replacement parts

    Thanks for your response RP67 My vehicles are 2013 and 2014 models. Unfortunately I only have the EME in the Rex model which although has no front end can still be driven and the Rex engine also runs. The front subframe is bent but has front wings and everything backwards. The BEV model...

    Rex vs bev EME for replacement parts

    Hi, I'm in a similar position, I've got a Rex as a donor car which has had the front end parts removed to repair another damaged one before I bought it. I'm in a dilemma, remove all the front end and windscreen from a BEV to fit to a rex or if I could get the eme to work in the BEV it would...

    Help!! BEV with missing inverter / Rex missing front end.

    The orange lead I have on the folded down rear seat needs to find a home. I believe it starts at the EME unit that I'm still yet to find but where does it end given that it's for a none Rex so a lot less info floating around. Many thanks all!
