Thanks for the update and yeah I hope so too! If it turns out to be the DME I'm not sure if that makes me happy or not, but obviously it would be great to have it running - both you and me alike!

Its been a battle but we won in the end eh

Just a blessing to hear it purring sweetly again!

Now get it MOTd and off the drive there are too many cars popping up to miss out on!!!

Very impressive Martin/Stuart. Great result.

Well Stuart really. It was he who bought the software and drove miles to help out. I made tea and became adept at swapping DMEs that's all.
Great satisfaction at tracking it down though. I enjoyed the logic involved and the elation when it fired straight up and purred was great.
I'm hoping this is one of those investigative threads that can help others as our cars get older and the electronics start to play up.
We will certainly be saving DMEs now and I'm pretty sure Stuart will be doing a few more of these.

Considering all this work on the cars has nothing to do with his day job you have got to be impressed by the range of Stuart’s talents. Plus he is such a nice guy willing to help anyone. As I have said on many occasions now I had a huge amount of help from him. There are not many folk who will offer help unless there is something (usually financial gain) in it for them. Stuart is one of those rare people.
