Good Lord Glen,

The mind boggles....
I was rather hoping she WAS actually a woman... as this casts doubts on which team my friends bats for ?

I don't think I will stay at his place any more....  :blink:      :))

If you have ever been to Thailand you will know that it can be 'challenging' to identify them correctly  :-[

Just to be clear, I have never had to try to find out, or wanted to.
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

Well you were all correct. Charged battery for several hours whilst refitting turbo and swapping glow plugs and controller, and when reinstalled, all electrics seem ok.

Have a few Undervoltage shadow errors that scanner1.4.0 won't clear, but they flagged yellow, ie not present so I'm a very happy chappy, well, as happy as can be as car still low on power (well, worse actually, but I'll add that to the turbo thread).

I did clamp both cables together for a good while, and used the little pull release for the boot (really wish I'd known about that last night!), so thanks for the help folks.

I'll leave the side conversation of drag for another day  :))

Thanks everyone, panic over lol

I found when coding the car, needed it running as it drained the car very quickly and would then have to scramble over the back seats to manually pop open the boot.
