    Found dry soldered joint near centre of board.One large round pin cracked around its base.My gas soldering irons just could not supply enough heat to warm up'metal'pin so held long old screwdriver with pliers against top of pin whilst heating screwdriver to red hot with oxyacetylene torch,accomplice applying solder at same time.All safe stuff you know!Van left idling to get hot and test repair.
    Incidentally does anyone know how much these little ecus cost new and can they be programmed by us easily enough.
    Excellent advice gents.True professionals.Thankyou.
    Regards John Sartain
