Hi Davy, if coming up again please drop me a line and I will take you up on your offer as a start point for me.
Full story is I had an intermittent no ASR message before the gearbox went but after gearbox replaced and, from what I was told, he thought the solders were loosening in the ecu when warmed causing a hot start issue so he re soldered them (I never had a hot start issue before she. Went in for gearbox)........unfortunately since then ( and only 25 miles from garage the first time) almost every warning light comes on with key turn and if (big if) she starts, within 30 secs slow down comes on and she cuts out......has not moved since sept
Personally I think we are dealing with several issues not necessarily connected. Firstly an ASR issue which was present before she went in for gearbox replacement, secondly something done when changing gearbox caused the fan to stay on, causing hot start issue and lastly probably a bodged solder job on ecu doing God knows what damage.
I have stayed quiet on this up till now but am now getting more seething mad the more I think on it having handed over nearly 8k last year for just over a thou miles, not gave permission to open ecu and a car that now cannot even start.
@allan. Have tried SS, but he does not have one for an auto, only the manual.
