Just called him, he is pretty sure it is the DSC control unit :wink: but he is still confirming.

I have a bad feeling that this is going to be very expensive. :x :cry:
The transmission controller will not function properly without a speed input, mine did the same thing occasionally.

yeah, it seems the people on here were correct all along. I would have given it a go myself but i don't have any experience or a location i can do it (doing it in the road outside was not going to be a great idea). The Mrs was worried that i would get pissed off with it if i couldn't do it and it would end up costing twice.

Are you getting a warranty? if so, please state details, I may be interested in sending my original off for repairs.

I don't know of anything yet but i will ask them when i next speak to them (not sure who my garage use). I know there was a link sent by someone (sorry cant remember who it was) who i believe had a lifetime warranty on their work.

I will have a look.

Pressure sensor on my dsc unit failed. Bought one from breaker £30. Same part number, no coding, for any diy'ers.
