Good points made Tony. However the only grump I had with Adrians post was the lack of detail. I wish members would detail the fault code meaning as well as the code to save having to look them up which saves time when trying to help.
Moving on to the problem with this vehicle, I am now assuming that the car has become a non-runner due to Adrian clearing the fault codes which has also erased the adaptions. Have to admit that I was unaware that this could happen. I thought the adaptions would be returned to initial base values and the car would then run. If there was a throttle body fault then the codes would re-appear and the car would run poorly.
Fortunately, I have not come across the scenerio where I have left a customer with a non-runner after clearing codes but this is a warning to me and others I guess.
