Hi, Well, after a long while this one is actually fixed. Brian had decided he had spent enough time on this vehicle & recommended Neil @ NE motors, who the customer left it with. Neil went through eveything, & the only thing we could decide was perhaps the 0500 VSS code was preventing T4 from reflashing the ecu. As it's a non ABS car the speed sensor output comes from a sensor on the rear LH wheel, this was scoped & found to be faulty. T4 could not see a Vehicle speed input on live data. A new sensor was fitted, but still no vehicle speed on liva data. & still the fault code was there We 'borrowed' a MEMS 3 ecu from a MGZR, which I could fit to the MGF & reflash no problem.............Hmmmmmmmm. Perhaps the new ecu from ATP which Brian got had a problem with it? We decided to buy a new ecu from Rover, which was fitted, upon inital comms, it came up, no VIN no found (obviously as a new unit), but on the second screen it said: Caution pre release or interim software level in ecm, some functions may not operate correctly, please use ecu renewals & maintainance, the other ecu from ATP did not say this. It flashed & programmed perfectly, vehicle ran , with cooling fan working correctly & no fault codes. Vin & all coding shown as correct. Still no vehicle speed signal on T4, but no fault code, so assume they are like that on non ABS cars. So a huge amount of extra man hours & costs involved due to an incorrect functioning new ecu. Interesting the old ecu & the new ecu had the same fault codes & problems? perhaps you could explain Mike Walker? Regards Steve
