I wouldn't be using blowtorches or gas soldering irons on it. Gas soldering irons too big for the task, blowtorches, too much other stuff nearby!

When I say blow torch, it's a bit of an exaggeration. It's one of the little modelling ones, a bit like this

As for soldering iron... I thought it would be easier to get your little gas one in than an electric one ;)

You could, of course, stick some fly leads onto the mixer if you get it in time, then it will just be a case of joining the wires ::)

Strange... Not done anything at all and the car hasn't moved and it's stopped working again :-/ I wonder if it's an intermittently faulty unit :-/

Unusual, but not beyond the realms of possibility.  TM unit would have been tested before I gave it to you, but not fitted to a car...

Does the Telematics still work as expected?

Yep. Obviously the Nokia kit is unplugged so it's at the right volume, as it was when I parked the car up with the TM working, got back in and it had stopped :-/

Basically decided that I shouldn't do anything else until I've tried a different unit ;)

Did you get my PM regarding the spares box?

That confirms my suspicions that the fault lies with the mute.

But where? In the TM unit? If not, why did it work yesterday and then stop for no apparent reason? :-?

I'm confused ::)

Why would intermittent make it the unit and not anything else - your diagnostics are flawed ;)

The unit is the least likely, but easiest to test.

Pressing the button, do you get External Audio on the CID briefly? Do you get click from TM unit?

I agree that it's not definitely the unit but it's easy to swap it for a known good one to eliminate it ;) Far easier than pulling the loom out again ;D

There is definitely a problem with the unit... Today on a journey to Albs' place it picked up a signal from a mast (lit up the button) just once. That can't be some 20+ faulty masts ;)

The unit is definitely only working intermittently so I'll try a known working one before trying anything else ;)

Put another (not necessarily working) one in, see if it *always* responds to button presses...

I'll bring the ones I have here to the Lakes.

There are two black box type (one possibly faulty) which I obtained from TB. and at least a silver one with an expired licence.

So far I only got around to fitting one on the DTi Elite.... haven't got around to the other two yet!  :-X

I've got the black box type ;)

I might get chance to steal borrow one from johnnycboy before the Lakes meet if I can get down to see him ::)
