Ah bugger...

That doesn't sound good Gerry... :o

Does it try to do anything or is it as dead as the parrot?

Hopefully it's simply something not plugged in properly :?:

Checked everything was plugged in as it should be. First things checked were that I hadn't done something stupid like lft a vital connector unplugged.

Checked all the relays and fuses I could find. There was a blown 20A, in the driver's footwell fuse box, which was replaced but made no difference.

Called Steve Simpson who reckons it's fubarred and to return it for repair. O:)

That was planned for Monday but with other hiccups, like not being able to get to the car to work on it, I lost a couple of days. I needed to make sure the thing worked OK before booking it into Zen for a first map for this Sunday.

Zen now can't fit me in. So 'Je suis bolloxed' as they say sur la continent!
