Default AU1.5 BEM colour

Hey guys, hope this thread can sort me out.

As some of you would know I recently tried to put a fairmont dash into a ute. All series 1 gear.
Finished it all up, took it to ford and they hit problems. Their words were "component mismatch"

Now my thinking leads to the fact that i used a series 1 dash (smartlock) with a series 1.5 ecu (smartshield). This is due to no hand now flashing on the dash.

So what I need is a for a few fairmont/fairlane guys what colour their BEM is and what series the car is. I'm curious in all 4 series.

To start it off, my series 1 BEM is olive.

Cheers

Yeah thanks for that.

After rob's pm, I'd like to hear from anyone and everyone, no matter what your car is.
Reason is rob's got a BEM I don't think he should.

Cheers

Default Re: AU1.5 BEM colour

Digging up an old thread here sorry.

I've just bought a 2000 AU1 XR8 (Feb 2000 build).
Has smartlock key fob, and yellow BEM. If it's a Smartshield BEM, How are the fobs working?

Main problem is Odometer lights are not working, fuse 1 is good, bulbs are good. Have read that the BEM could be at fault.

So with it being yellow, it's a high series?

Cheers

Chris
