@Gizmo Please could you remove me from the list, my cable has broken, and I don't want to spend money on a V2 cable just yet. Thank you. Aston_bodger AKA Trevor

Hi OllieVRS, It could be faulty, mine was genuine when I did mine about 8 years ago. Trevor

My money is on the brake booster, that's where the fluid's going, it's slowly filling that up. If you have no visible leaks, it's that. Trevor

I had mine from Fleabay 6-7 years ago and still going strong, even colour coded too, think they were £15 at the time, yes the lights and the bumper has to come off, on the inside you will see the marks where they cut the holes for the factory fit ones, that's what I used. Just be careful drilling the holes with the hole saw provided, use a block of wood for support, and you will be fine, power is took off the reverse light, earth is just a bolt somewhere, feeding the wires though to the box, I used a grommet already there, think it's for the tow bar?, plenty of sealant round that, it will be ok. Any problems give me a shout. Trevor

@OllieVRS, Is your cable genuine?, if so you should be able to change dealer code and country code, that's all mine needed. Hope this helps, Trevor AKA Aston Bodger

@Wynjones68Try Darkside developments, that's where mine come from. Hope this helps. Trevor

@DanielMcG I would drop Tech1e a PM, he knows these cars inside out, ex main dealer tech. Trevor

Hi, How old is the battery?, mine was playing up some time ago, got it on VDCS and speed sensor intermittent comes up, got a new one, not cheap main dealer part, changed battery and hey presto no more problems. Cos it runs on CAN BUS, it need a constant 12v supply and if it don't get it, it throw a hissy fit. Trevor

Hi Jack, Mine come on with the interior lights, and go off at the same time, not sure why they put it on a separate circuit, just extra work to me making the loom. Trevor

Hi Jack, That is a strange one, maybe something has gone wrong in the unit, and as a result it's throwing the fault code? At least the seats are working. Trevor

Hi Jack, This is a strange one to say the least, it could be the splices causing the problems, high resistance for example, are they soldered or crimped? Trevor

Hi Jack, That's a bit of a bugger, like I said I got mine from Eddie_NL, and it fit first time, without problems. Looks like that's the one, hopefully this one will work? Reason I said about the LED bulbs, they cause all sorts of problems, if fitted to CAN circuits, not sure about interior lights, but they do dim. Trevor

Hi Jack, Take the bulbs out and scan again, it could be the bulbs you are using?, just a thought, as mine are normal bulbs and never had that problem. Trevor

Hi Jack, There are a few on here like that (you know who you are), and it got so bad, in the end I just shut up and let them hang themselves. I know you are, you asked all the right questions, and I gave all the right answers and more. Should not make a difference, it's how it's programmed at the factory,as to what options are activated, mine left the factory with no cruise control, it has now had to tell the steering controller and engine ECU it has CC. Certain years need an extra wire mine had it already so plug and play. Sounds about right, an hour as most of the work was done. You will need to change the Can gateway because of battery drain, it don't shut the radio off, and the fan in the radio keeps running, it's somewhere under the dash only a little box, but it does a lot. Seems like I was the only one to help you? Trevor

Hi Jack, That's ok mate, I will help anybody, except them that think they know better and shoot me down, got no time for them folk. Then they PM me for help when it goes tits up. You will have update your sig now. I would do it again. If I had to. That's how Eddie_NL does them, I know cos I have one of his looms in for the foot well lights, front only, couldn't be bothered to fit rear when I found out you need this, and that and one of them . Mine did have that cluster, now it's got a maxidot, should not make any difference which cluster, it's the CECM that runs the show, so most likely that's a different spec, as in Low line, Mid line and High line, not sure what I got, but don't have the fault code. Thanks again, I did, that's why I told you stage by stage where to put the wires, and you saved a few quid too, not sure how much your mate would have charged? Trevor
