Message: <blockquote data-quote="dale" data-source="post: 106743" data-attributes="member: 1501">Another update.Went to Rawang after making an appointment with Nick. The first impression of the place was like "Wow, this place is spotless clean. You can even sleep on the floor". Have you seen the Ride on Channel 50? Well, this place was close to that sort.We sat at a table and I went on with the explanations on what were the problems, and he, probing for more tell-tales.  Only after all these was my car being driven into the shop. I was asked to sit at the same table again with an ash tray and a magazine, while he started to do his things. I noticed that there were no cut wires or what nots lying on the floor the fact that this is an electrician's workshop.  Test equipments and machines were nicely arranged. Finally, diagnostic done. When I was disconnecting-reconnecting-disconnecting the batt, the systems were trying to communicate with each other, by me doing so they have actually "lost communication" resulting in the system to freeze. He was talking about the ECM, BMC (body module controller) and a few others. Conclusion, I'm required to send in my car for a 1 and a half day rectification. I was told that this E36 has, apart from the one under the hood, 2 more fuse boxes! Showed me the location.Additionally, I saw him using a stethoscope (!!!!), listening to the engine of another car there. Seeing his well-equipped w'shop I can't help but asked what those equipments are for. One for cleaning the fuel injection system, and the rest hmmm techy techy. He said that he will trouble-shoot problems and faults using his test equipments and NOT his customers' money by doing a "trial-and-errors". Hmm looks like this is one of Jeremy Clarkson's kind of man, of "passion" that is.After having stripped my car to diagnose the problem and put everythings back in after identifying what need to be done, which will be a later date convenient to me, I was not charged a single cent. Was this guy generous or he had actually accumulated this service to be charged later when I send in my car?:blink: Most would normally managed to squeeze a couple of bucks from me for that "diagnostic jobs".Will write again on the outcome after Saturday. Will be sending in on Friday afternoon and should be ready by Saturday late afternoon. With reference to the other thread, yes, re-wiring is very expensive according to Nick.</blockquote>
