I re-fitted the original controller a week later, and it worked perfectly, till I sold the car almost a year later. I sold the used one on eBay for much more than I paid for it in the first instance.  |
That is a good point - the intermittent fault only occurred when the temp was 6decC or below. Having fitted the "new" the problem seems to have gone - but it has been warmer. There was evidence though of water / moisture ingress through the aerial grommet into that area of the boot although the inside of the controller was dry. I will keep the old one safe and dry till next winter!
