my visit to the South will be brief this week, but I'll probably be back next week. Wil let yous all know as soon as I do. Likely Sailsbury Plain rather than Bristol.

looking forward to meeting you all  :-/

 ;D It was just a wild guess - there aren't many reasons people go to Salisbury Plain, much less on business :) (I only really know it because a friend of mine was MT section at Warminster, I think it was, years ago.. well that and the times it's been used on things like Top Gear  ;D )

I've just remembered...

The code index in the servotronic ECU is different on my MV6 to most Elites I've seen.

No idea what it means. TIS only seems to suggest it depends on a sticker on the steering box so could be the code index is selected to tune out differences in the steering boxes or could be it's to give a different "feel" to the MV6.

Might be worth an experiment though.

this is for the silver MV6 - it needs steering lightening and some airbag diagnosis.

OK. :y We can have a little experiment. Was thinking this might be something to add to Chris' list of potential differences to eliminate too.
