He should be calling in here tomorrow when I can at least run a full VCDS scan and see what's showing.
Any particular measuring blocks to look at as well?

1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

So Richard has been and gone. Scanned car, cleared lots of (largely historical) codes, short drive, scanned again.
Nothing exciting, usual intermittent 01119 Gear Recognition Signal (F125 failing maybe?) and a few expected errors from known faults.

Put a multimeter on the lead to his coolant header tank and it showed about 10V across the pins. Not sure what that proves....

This is GREAT advice - thank you. Unfortunately I absolutely don't have the skills to do this myself so will need to get an auto electrician involved

Thank you MJ
