Re: Damp in ECU and crazy stuff!
Hi Folks
Thought i'd get back to you all.
I had a look under the seat as suggested and pushed in one of the connectors which was obviously loose. This cured the problem for a while, but sadly its come back again. So i reseated all the connectors I could find... The problem still persists.
Not got round to pulling the carpet up to have a look at the connectors there as suggested so will give it a go soon..
Cheers!

What about the battery? If it's not in tip top condition all kind of errors and messages may appear with no reason at all.

Re: Damp in ECU and crazy stuff!
if you have added any extra electrical appliances it mucks about with the stuff the best thing to do is to rip it out before it wrecks the bsi which also could be causing your troubles as they sound similar to the ones i had the other day
