Al the Elite you bought from me had a re-routed crank sensor on it - if your neighbour still has it you could have a nose at it ;)

As said earlier, now its home, try not to use until sensor replaced, as it will get you at the most inconvenient time...

Hello Al,

This is a bit late I'm afraid...

Agreed crank sensor replacement (at your convenience rather than random).  The one now on mine cam with loads of slack cable was was easy to select a route away from the exhaust and cable tie to other fixings.

The resetting of the system to 1997 sounds like you may have dislodged a live feed to the CPU, maybe when changings seats.  Maybe it won't happen again but sod's law probably applies if you don't check...

not really had any feedback on that one

That was really weird . . .   clock was at 00:00   & date was  01:01:1997 when I left the car that night unable to start it . .  .next morning it

starts first time & date & time are back to being correct  . .  as said  . .  . weird  :o :o :o :o

Seat change over & back again  was weeks ago now  . .   still got the annoying "airbag" light on though. Hoping to get someone with a

Tech2 along to The  Red Barons   Burton weekend coming up

date and time reste might be related by the radio if I remember correctly as the radio can set the date and time by some means of a signal it gets.
as you had a issue with the radio trning on by it self it could be related to that eveent

Bingo Bago!

I have regularly (for various reasons) had my battery disconnected.  When reconnected the systen defaults to the manufacture date (or someting ages ago...).  I very often didn't bother to re-enter the radio code so would be January 1997 on my display until I reset BUT lately (yesterday) I straterd up and immediately entered the radio code. the RDS system automatically corrects the date and time!

Given this, Al's machine must be suffering some intermittent total loss of connection to the battery... I haven't tried but if you disconnect the battery with the engine running; does it stop?  Mabe these two items (radio/engine stop) are symptoms of a combined source.

Are all the battery connections and eartings good Al? :-\
