Update from my earlier post regarding the abrupt engine conk out. It happened again yesterday during rush hour on the most dangerous road in the world namely the A12.
Managed to pull in on the end of a on junction. Switched off and tried to restart after 5 attempts all ok again.
Had the codes read and it is the etm so contacted rufe and did me a cracking deal of £170 delivered instead of the Euro Car Parts £400 plus vat :cuckoo:
Anyway, had to book it into a local stealer to get the thing programmed to the car as per Simon's info, they need 2 hours :shockedbi so that means it will probably cost more than the part itself.
They say... that I can get this fitted at my local garage I use and drive it to them to get programmed.
I also understand that this part is particularly relevent to 1999, 2000, and 2001 models and they have had shedfuls of these going tits.
Little bit worried if I drive it to the stealer and f**k it up they will say, wot a shame we didn't fit it for you !
