sadly not, the TD is not so common as the v6 so your responses will be in proportion. But worry not those that do own them are very knowledgable. They will be along. :-)

As said before really get the codes read mate...if EML is coming on chances are a code or codes will be stored and this will greatly help with diagnosis...

Whats your location, might be someone near you with Tech2 or "My Naff Code Reader" :y
