75ZT Community

I have a pre facelift 75 CDTi, and when The_Monk did a new key/plip for me recently, he found the mounting bracket for the immobilizer, under the driver's side dash area, was missing. I can't find it listed with Rimmers and wondered if anyone had a spare. I am told it is a metal, rectangular shaped bracket, with two 5 star fixing screws and a protrusion that covers the plug-in connectors.
Can anyone help please. If they are metric, I can use ordinary screws/bolts. The BCU (Body Control Unit) on the passenger's side is also not secured and is wedged up behind the fuse box, but I understand it doesn't have a fixing bracket and is fixed by two screws/bolts through lugs on the casing.
Cheers, Roverite.

My Cruise ECu has been stuck on with Foam pads for 4 years now.. maybe you can do the same with the EWS (Engine immobiliser (EWS from the German, Elektronik WegfahrSicherung)) ?
PS. My EWS is dangling at the moment ( well last 3 weeks) waiting for xmas post to settle before going off to Dave (Monk) .. for key action.

Thanks 'ceedy'; that is a good idea if a proper retaining strap doesn't turn up. I will probably use '3Ms' self adhesive velcro strips and then I can remove/replace it easily.

Thanks for the reply.

You know, I might just have one in the garage. I'll have a look if I get in there soon!

Might have been more important to bolt it on a few years back ..for security .. when our cars were worth nicking.. , but not so important now they a worth only a few pence !

Duncan, I don't know what has happened, but I did post a reply, however it seems to have disapeared; maybe something to do with the loss of some club posts recently. Anyway, what I said was, thanks very much and if you do find the bracket, I will be pleased to buy it from you. There is no hurry and I may be able to collect it at Cosford, or an earlier Nano meet, both of which I intend to make in 2013.
Thanks again and please let me know if you come accross it. Apologies if you did see my earlier post!

Regards, Roverite.

part number ywu 100270 £2.34 inc vat from rimmers

Thanks Suffolk Man; I couldn't determine that from their Parts List, so I will have another look and place an order. That's what is so good about owning a 75 and belonging to a club, there is always somebody that has the answer.

Thanks again, Roverite.

PS the part number is YWU 100720, for future reference.

Well I checked my boxes today and no sign of it. Sorry I coudn't help. It might still turn up though, just don't know when!

Thanks for looking Duncan. Don't worry, because Suffolk Man has given me the details for Rimmers and it is only £2.34 incl VAT!
Happy New Year, Roverite.

PS. ordered and on its way from Rimmers.

Well, turned up in my box of metal to weigh in. So it's rescued, and yours.
