When you get asked by a customer to pop in to a Garage for a quick second opinion as they think they're being fobbed off -only to be greeted with- not sure why you're even here as we have our own Sparkie π³. Followed by Plug your computer on to it and there'll be no warranty on the new FR fitted.
The welcome alone made me want to have a nose ππ
Fast Forward 4 and a bit hours later after having to Replace the engine ECU that was burnt out , Engine loom , and crank sensor she runs like a dream on the original old FR unit -left the new keys on but programmed them all with the old just in case they decide to have their new ignition back .
To be fair to them it did say CODE on the dash and they were waiting for their online Jaltest slot to get it programmed up π€·πΏπ€·πΏ-not sure how that works .Maybe just maybe the new ignition switch and FR unit the garage fitted would have got it going after all. We'll never know now !
One more job on it tomorrow when the customer has it back at their yard -delete the keys not with the vehicle.
