Post by: Jimbob on 18 January 2009, 15:23:19
Good to see some old, and meet some new faces!

Cheers to TB / Mark for the loan of the Tech2  :y

Weather held out beautifully, but it was a bit chilly!

Cheers all for coming, esp those with a loooong journey!

When I arrived and saw 3 blokes in hi-viz jackets marshalling traffic I thought the meet had been rumbled  :o I was expecting them to say you've got an Omega "your not commin' in" :-/ turned out it was some running event or something.
It was good to see some old mates and meet some new peeps all in all a very good turnout  :y

Great meet, nice to meet everyone new & old. Thanks to Jimbob for sorting the tech 2 out and updating my gearbox. shame it kept having a fit when trying to update the climate but it wasn't a priority, there is a definate improvement in the gearbox though.  :y  

Shame it was a bit chilly and we all disperesed a bit earlier than expected but it was either that or get frost bite! lol

Look forward to the next meet!!  :y

Didn't realise you'd tried it on another 2.6! I just thought it may have failed because my outsid temp sensor isn't working at the moment.
Title: Re: Jimbob's Chester Meet Pics
Post by: Jimbob on 19 January 2009, 07:56:21
Yes, the one next to yours as well, both gearboxes updated, but neither climate would!

was probably operator error, but not sure how!
Title: Re: Jimbob's Chester Meet Pics
Post by: richardirv on 19 January 2009, 08:02:59
Oh well not to worry, I'm sure it wasn't your fault. like i said it wasn't a priority.  :y
Title: Re: Jimbob's Chester Meet Pics
Post by: Marks DTM Calib on 19 January 2009, 08:29:16
Lol...if you watch the climate panel on the later units (there are two hardware versions of facelift cimate panel) during the update, it turns itself off as the programming access starts.

If you simply turn the panel back on it will continue with the software update without issue.  :y

Post by: Jimbob on 19 January 2009, 08:31:08
Ahh well, you live and learn.

didnt think much of it till the 2nd one failed the same.
Title: Re: Jimbob's Chester Meet Pics
Post by: richardirv on 19 January 2009, 08:34:30
The Climate definatly didn't go off during, before it started and update process it just said, lost communications with vehicle or something along those lines.

Glad you like it  :y
I turned your climate off, AFTER attempting the update, while doing the gearbox, which tech2 recommends you to turn off 'other' electrical items to save battery power.
