    Really?!?!?

    Also, pianno man, why didnt you just reset all the modules on your doner car first, then you can just swap whichever unit you needed to?

    Sorry, ninja et al, I said i had swapped all the units over, but actually i saw the donor car running and the owner,( another garage (car sales) ) swapped all the units over before i could reset them, thinking he could save my labour charges, and tried to start it. He had been swapping various S/hand units on that car for months. Originally it only needed a cim unit, but instead of buying a new one for ?180 and fixing it there and then, he spent the next 10 or11 months swapping bits with no success, and ended up buying a complete car to swap everything over and lost a year off the value of the car. I think i was asking him ?60 quid labour to do the original job, and he thought that was too much.
    Belated thanks for all your help and comments
