Problem solved.
I had ELSA Win installed on my PC. Cost £30. Was supposed to take 4 hours to install, mine took 2 hours.
- Took off the fuse box cover (dash end cap driver's side)
- Two bolts alongside fuse holders removed
- Two bolts under the knee bolster removed.
- Pulled the knee bolster out at the top and it dropped down.
- PO had connected to ign +ve at the OBD plug and a chassis earth. So I used what he had done but plugged my phone lead into his.
- Cut his mini usb cable off above the dash and pulled it all out from the fuse box.
- Tested and working so reassembled.
Only took 20 minutes and some of that was down to chatty neighbours.
Then I had a brainwave, OK yes it did hurt. I'm sure I used to have ELSA Win on an old PC that I threw away so had a rummage. Found the CDs and the paperwork. Another £30 wasted. Never mind My lad can put that one on his PC.
