dojj it went off to the ecu repair after the coil pack went and took the ecu with it, came back, plug it in and it ran perfectly but had no speedo or mileage display (i've since suspected the vss) so it went back. Upon it's return, it has an immobliser problem (dash pats code 2-3 ecu id mismatch), I've sent it back again and it's somewhere in royal mail's system, I'm hoping it ain't lost!
I'm pretty sure therefore that it's lost it's ecu coding mate.
