Tried;
Checking lead for damage
Any other available USB port
Updating the software
Download another gas synchro, and use that for the 3.2
Clicking the red connect button, bottom left.  If software up to date.

Very interesting .. I must look at my bonnet struts to finds the USB ports and a red button ....  :)  :)  :)

OK interesting.

What is the official name for them please? Then I can search the breakers.

Also what would be the procedure for replacement? I have not looked at how they are attached but Id hope it was relatively easy to swap them out?

Thanks


Alex

If using omega spares, mention OOF and i think you get a discount. :)

Steve is very reliable, I use him a fair bit. He is also just up the m4 from me.

I found on my 95 mig that when it was really cold that the bonnet slowly came down.
Now it,s slightly warmer the bonnet stays up ok.

OK I got the ones I was looking at on ebay and it is amazing the difference in compression force needed for the old vs the new.
 
I was able to install them incredibly easily so thanks for the tips everyone :) I am just so pleased when I do something on the car and it works perfectly 1st time
