Whooo no bolts is good  ;) ;D

Can't complain at a freebie tech2  :y - Maybe he enabled something he should not have  :-/ - Get him to read the fault codes too see what you get.

I am hoping to get zero codes now  ;D

Cheers x25xe, if you ever need a hand i should be around. Not seen your megga about yet...

No you won't have seen mine around much.  That's because I do not park on the road and tend to walk locally.  I do drive to work though which is in Uxbridge.  However, this is in the early morning and I know that you, like me, are not compatible with early mornings!  Besides which, I have two cars, the Megga and the Cavalier.  So one of the other of them is "parked up".

I think that I may have seen your Megga around though.  It was Thursday of last week in Church Road and around 15:45.  Facelift, 2.2 and VERY shiny.  It caught my eye as it went past and I even turned around to get a better look!  Been meaning to ask on here if it was yours.  So was it??

Thanks for the offer of help by the way - and likewise, if you need help and you are in Hayes, let me know.

I am wondering if the Vx dealer has done something stupid? (which is highly possible) and not just enabled the cruise but updated the entire ECU with something wrong?  :-?
Unlikely, as the system has been designed for Mr Stupid to use, hence it won't let you do anything daft...

I still say fix the emissions problem, then check.  It may be a newer ECU firmware that went on that reacts differently to this fault condition...
