Removed the ecu just to rule it out being fried by the first loom melting....



So..game over lol

Where from here? New ecu? Assuming it can't be repaired? New Immob box? Keys?

That's better news than I expected, will have a ring around see who knows who, and who knows what. Thanks for all your help everyone, it's been an education. No doubt I'll be back when it's fixed, will let you all know how it goes.
