It's a right PITA! :evil:

Mine's died, I've given it all the technical tricks - i.e. hitting it with a big hammer but with no result, so now I can only

Listen to the engine

Try it :wink:

thepits, have you tried disconnecting the battery for 30mins then connecting it back up ? Seems to 'reboot' a lot of the car's systems, and a few forum members have found it helps with CD changer faults...

No I haven't, but I have pulled its fuse, and went for a long cup of coffee and a fag.

Thanks for that, not much disruption then - but wouldn't pulling its fuse have the same effect? :?
