Hi,

Sorry been out all day!

Rich...No the light hasn't came back on and the car seems to run fine!!

I haven't got a clue what i'm doing with it just suggestions from forum members...

Is the advice that 'Bacillas' gave if the light was still on or now even though its gone out?

John, taken your comments on board, will just see what the general opinions are...

Ive had this on mine before.  Basic settings wouldn't run, but a simple unplug and replug of the flap motor allowed basic settings to be carried out and fault was cleared.  This may save people a few quid if the basic settings won't run.

no disagreement here  :happy2:
the wiki states things to try first (the adaptation) , if that works and keeps it off then  :pomppomp:

Not necessarily but IMO  it's best to do the adaptation to make sure the hardware is working at correct spec.
Without traction power is nothing!
