had a further attempt at installing CID today, and some tech2 stuff on daughters astra.... updating the ECU , telling it to ignore EGR
sadly, no joy on either really..... CID keeps saying no communication....
gonna have to get another "known good" one from somewhere and see if we get any better luck........ try and find out if it's actually simply a faulty CID in the first place, or the wrong CID for a mig, or what....... gutted......
but huge thanks to Jaime for relentlessly trying to get the thing to work !!!
on the upside, replaced the bulbs in existing screen, and dash so now i can see something..... even if it's not the CID i want....
Astra seemed okay, daughter drove it back to oxford, but the next time she started it , the check engine light was back on.... it runs fine, so.... we'll have to have a further play at a convenient moment.
it seems i also need to get a new battery for the Mv6.... arse....
